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.

none of his conflict is about Judaism or Islam. it's about colonialism. jews who were expelled during the inquisition found a safe haven in lands of muslims. they lived side by side for decades.
the unfortunately intense antisemitism you may find among Muslim populations is because of what happened to Palestine in the name of zionism.
the way Israel insists that they represent jews and Judaism breeds antisemitism. which is what they want by the way. jews experiencing antisemitism around the world gives them more potential colonizing power.
they also want you to think this is about religion because it becomes easy to dismiss and both-sides the issue and distract from the fact that it is about ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Zionism isn't a religious colonizing movement? Is Israel not a Jewish ethnostate? To say that this isn't related to Judaism in some way is disingenuous.
if anything it's a christian colonialist project. the superstars of colonialism, the brits are mainly to thank here. but all of that is besides my point.
again, jews and arabs lived side by side before Israel was a state. jews were Jewish and arabs were mostly Muslim back then as well. if it really were about religious differences they wouldn't be living in peace before. it's not the religion, it's politics. and war crimes.
Why set up a Jewish state if it wasn't the goal? Look I get it, anti-Semitism is shit. Jews are targeted for something that they aren't responsible for. But all of these politics and war crimes are, unfortunately, covered in Jewish flavor. That's a problem for all Jews, I think. To combat this by saying religion has no part in this isn't working.
they set up a Jewish state because european countries didn't want to accept Jewish migrants. they used the holy land as an excuse to tell Jewish people to fuck off to Palestine where they can replace some brown people rather than bother white christians.
again, if the problem was really the religion it would be there before the establishment of the Israeli state. I'm telling you that the religions of both peoples were constant while the political move was the variable that changed. that's how you find causes, however much you'd like to chalk this up to religion bad.
I hear the same shit from people who blame Iran's situation on their religion when again it was clearly the very blatant meddling of colonial forces. they had the same religion before and after the revolution. the thing that changed was the US replacing a democratically elected head of state with a stooge. people love to cover for the atrocities of western powers by pretending it's all about religious disputes.
Why does Israel decry it's criticism of the genocide as anti-semitism if it has nothing to do with it's religion? Israelis do use Judaism as a justification for their actions, is that not in doubt? Whatever happened in the past has no bearing on the immense suffering caused by a flag that symbolizes Judaism right now.
already addressed:
never heard of propaganda I guess. maybe look it up. so this is what you do, take fascists at their word, is that it?
i wonder what nazis thought about criticisms of nazi germany. I bet they had some correct assessments.
dude not gonna lie, when I first started arguing against your shit I thought it was just a neckbeard atheist thing, but at this point I think you're just desperate to justify antisemitism.
not interested in arguing with bigots. especially since you're running in circles now.
Reading the thread that's my take as well. It very much reads like he's soft peddling neonazi bullshit.
