A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

Pope Leo said on Sunday that the only solution in the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people must include a Palestinian state, reaffirming the Vatican's position.
Title sounded like he was supporting a single state solution with Palestine as the state, but it's the same two state solution that Vatican has supported for some time
Yeah, so it's just empty rhetoric.
Rename it Sky Daddy Land and let it be run by a council of atheists.
Then the Palestinians and Israelis will have a common enemy and will stop fighting.
Stop obfuscating this fight has little to do with religion its due to a settler colony and its expansion and resistance to it.
Yeah, but how do they keep track of who is the settler, and who is the native - hint: begins with 'r'.
Really obvious differences in skin color and culture
Culture? Language? Skin color? Fucking names?
Race?
Rhymes with three pigeons
Respectfully, religion really isn't the cause, it's just correlated with ethnicity, like language.
Judaism plays a huge part in Israel's Jewish supremacy ethnostate. They're not creating an atheistic secular Jewish nation.
Which is why Israel is making sure there are no Palestinians left. Their solution is a final solution.
I can think of another one.
What if religion was separated from government, and all people were treated equally under secular law, as is the case in every advanced country where even non-cis-males are allowed to read freely and have a complex pluralistic civilization ?
IOW what if all the Sky Daddy people fucked off with their cosplay and let the adults manage things?
Ok great. So now Israel is just committing a secular genocide without the veneer of religion. I don't see that that's better.
WhenxSecular countries are supporting the terrorist state of Israel you know that it is not about religion
know what a state without religion looks like? palestine.
Exactly - this is being missed because the propaganda has framed this as a 'Jews vs. Muslims' religious conflict.
It's not. It's an ethnostate built for Zionists, not Jews - as shown by the way the state is treating orthodox Rabbis who are protesting against the occupation.
Again little to do with religion its colonialism dummy.
Uh... The Nakba was committed by secular atheists. Stop trying to pin this on religion.
Well since the genocide is almost done I don't think that this is the only solution
I guess it depends on what you mean by almost done. They've taken 50% of the land in gaza. They've killed 3% of the Gaza strip and .06% of the West Bank. These are massive extinction events by population percentage, but the Palestinians are still very much there. As soon as people give up, the Palestinians are in a much much worse state than they already are.
It won't be as easy for them to push through the other 50% without displacing or killing 2 million people, which is a world of difference from 70,000. I'm not optimistic, but I also don't see a current path for Israel to "finish the genocide" that doesn't simultaneously eliminate a large percentage of their remaining political and economic power in the process. On the other hand fascist counties aren't know to act rational. Either way, this genocide is far from over. Imo, it will last at least another decade, if not much longer, if it's bent on geographic, cultural, and/or population annihilation. I think there is at least some hope that the political winds can change before that happens.
You're assuming they stop at their own border.
This pope has proven to be decent so far hopefully Peter Thiel doesn’t send Vance to suck his soul out
Realistically, I don't see the conflict ending until climate change renders the area an uninhabitable wasteland.
Given how climate change seems to be accelerating, this is probably a few decades.
You don't say?
This is liberal Zionist gaslighting. Its like saying the only solution to Apartheid South Africa is for the blacks to have their own bantustan.
The only solution which no one in the mainstream dares to say is to dismantle the genocidal state built on Jewish supremacy.
Two-State Solution has never been viable for the same reason Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan have never been viable outside the sphere of Israeli influence. Any state that isn't aligned with Israel is targeted for a combination of assassinations/bombings and infiltration/regime change.
Why would an "independent" Palestine be any different? A popular government would never be allowed to rule. At best, you'd have an Egyptian style military dictatorship or Jordanian monarchy which rules the public with an iron fist. At worst, you'd have a Libya or Yemen, where the native government is merely a proxy for the Israelis to continue their genocide of the local population.
agree that the only solution is one state for all. basically expand the right of return.
the "two state solution" isn't a solution, but just Israel following basic international law. Which is too high a bar for Israel
Not equal rights for Palestinians? Huh...
