World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I hope one day the same will happen to Israel and Israelians and I hope no one will care anymore.
Or here's a novel thought: how about we start hoping for bad shit to not happen? The cycle of revenge and "I deserve this land because X" is how we ended up in this situation in the first place.
Settler colonialism is how we ended up in this situation. There is no 'both sides' when one is engaging in supremacy and genocide while the other is resisting eradication and fighting for their human rights
Edit:
For the people who are downvoting. Equating the violence here is the same as equating the violence in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It's been over 76 years of violent apartheid, supremacy, and ethnic cleansing.
In the Shadow of the Holocaust by Masha Gessen, the situation in Gaza is compared to the Warsaw Ghettos. The comparison was also made by a Palestinian poet who was later killed by an Israeli airstrike. Adi Callai, an Israeli, has also written on the parallels in his article The Gaza Ghetto Uprising and expanded upon in his corresponding video
You're getting down voted because you've missed the point. It doesn't matter why the current situation is happening, calling for genocide as a response to genocide makes you just as guilty as the people you hate.
Kami is, which is why I downvoted them.
Palestinian resistance is not calling for genocide.
I feel like I'm talking to a bot. All of your responses are at best tangentially related to what I say.
You blamed the current situation on the 'cycle of revenge,' which grossly misrepresents the reality of Zionism and the reaction of Palestinian resistance.
And you keep ignoring the point that it doesn't fucking matter. You can't solve genocide with more genocide.
I mean you can... you can't commit genocide if all your people are dead.
But that still involves genocide, and maybe this is a hot take, genocide is bad. So we shouldn't take that option.
Where are you getting that I'm calling for genocide?
Palestinian resistance is fighting for ending the apartheid, for equal rights, and for right of return. Not genocide.
Do you not read the context of comments you replied to? The guy I was responding to specifically said he hopes that what's happening to Palestinians happens to the Israelis.
Obviously this endless cycle of violence is not the way forward, but Israel must face some sort of penalty for their deplorable actions. What level of reparations would be appropriate here?
Should they follow Germany's example with respect to the Holocaust, post WWII? Are there any other historical examples of an oppressive regime stepping back and taking responsibility for the destruction and mass loss of life that they've caused?
What is reasonable here to break the cycle and move forward, as best as anyone meaningfully can?
And I already condemned them for that, so why are you attributing that to me or the Palestinian resistance
I'm not. I never was. I have no idea why you keep bringing it up.
You're the one that keeps responding to me as if my comments are about calls to genocide.
I'm not calling for anything, I'm just hoping they'll get what they are giving. If you think it is genocide, then so be it.
That's what I keep saying about adopting healing language/actions because it's not different when we do it, for "reasons." The Lemmy masses are almost entirely against it.
Zionism is the problem. While a small Minority in Israel, there are many anti-zionist Israelis who are playing a critical role in dismantling Zionism.
It's a one-state reality of supremacy and apartheid. The only way out is with ending Zionism and implementing right of return, equal rights, and massive reparations to all Palestinians
Unfortunately, from the outside it looks very much like the anti-Zionists are taking the position of "once the Zionists have done all the Zionism, we'll give them a very stern telling off."
This may not be how it actually is, but as long as Yahoo and people of his mindset are in charge, it won't look any better than that.
That's certainly not what they are saying. Ilan Pappe and Avi Schlaim are great counter examples. I think what you're talking about fits post-zionists much more accurately. And in terms of post-zionism I agree.
Adi Callai has also done phenomenal work about bringing an end to Zionism, he has a great analysis of Franz Fanon as well.
