The Israel lobby wrote itself a dictionary. Governments adopted it, regulators enforced it and police made arrests under it. Then it met a judge who required evidence, and it collapsed in an afternoon.
It’s disgraceful how much influence the Jewish lobby has on Australian politics
Particularly when all evidence shows that out of groups from the Middle-East, it’s Muslims who face the most discrimination
FUCK Zionism
Fagan cited Pew polling showing 74 per cent of Australians unfavourable towards Israel, rising to 79 per cent this year, and inferred a “humanitarian reaction to Israel’s genocide of the Gazans”. A definition that tars four in five Australians is not detecting hatred.
It is outlawing majority opinion.
Antisemitism, Fagan said, is simply “hostility to Jews for their Jewishness”. It is real, repugnant and must be confronted. Israel is a foreign state. Zionism is a political ideology. Neither is entitled to immunity from condemnation.
Protecting Jewish Australians is essential. Protecting a foreign government from criticism is not.
Watch the zionists come after Fagan, I expect allegations of sexual misconduct.

That quote needs to be shared around, that little bit of honesty, and logic needs to go a long way.
I vote we beat anyone who conflates zionism and Jewishness with a copy of Chaim Potok’s The Chosen

Yeah, you’re not the first to be tripped up by it!
Basically, the ‘URL’ and the ‘Image’ fields are mutually exclusive. Either one of them can be the ‘primary content’ of a post, and you can only have one ‘primary content’. So if you use one, it wipes the other.
There is an alternative though!
If the content preview won’t load for a link, or you otherwise want to set a picture manually, you need to use the ‘Thumbnail URL’ field instead.
A handy way I use is to upload an image in the body field, then cut the URL from there and paste it in the ‘Thumbnail URL’. That way the image is re-hosted on the Lemmy instance, which is probably better than putting in a ‘Thumbnail URL’ pointing to another site.

A known weirdism, but apparently not considered an issue

Oh, I only just saw this!
Yeah, it’s not very intuitive at the moment. I like the suggestion that user made. Unfortunate the developers closed it, but they’ve got a lot on their plate, I guess.
They took two years to close it, so they’re probably somewhat sympathetic. A lot of people use third-party apps, though, some of which presumably address the issue in their UI.
