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.

Zionism is a political ideology, not religious. In fact it's completely opposed to judaism as it has existed for thousands of years. It's goals are explicitly political (eg. genocide and ethnic cleansing) without any relation to the actual religion of judaism. For this reason it's anti-semitic to claim that zionism is a jewish or religious ideology.
The only religion here is fascism - the worship of the state.

Yeah but when you walk around Israel it’s not a Zionist section and a non Zionist section.
It’s a Jewish area and a Muslim area.
The Muslim area is over policed, a ghetto
No? It's a Jewish area and a Palestinian area. Palestinian Christians aren't spared by Israel.
I’m taking about Jerusalem and East Jerusalem specifically
Edit: if you have ever visited Jerusalem it’s an interesting place.
Jews are top tier there. They can enjoy luxury shopping and the protection of the IDF. Everyone must follow their customs while in Israel. Kosher food, Shabbat rules, etc.
Hasidic Jews are NOT REQUIRED to be in the IDF. This is the only exemption from military service for any ethnic group in Israel.
They are also paid from tax dollars just to live there and repopulate the country with Jewish babies.
(This is not a made up story. This is the entire principle of “birthright” trips where zionist casino owning billionaires send American Jewish college students to Israel on an all expenses paid trip to their “birthright” land.
The idea is to make many of those young students marry and stay in Israel.
It’s super fucked up.
I was offered this trip but was disqualified when I asked about Palestinian birthrights.
I have visited on my own since then and this is where my accounts come from. )
Christians are welcome in jerusalem as well. There are many churches all celebrating Jesus and just stations of the cross. They are under the protection of the IDF
But if you ramble through the old city long enough you may end up in East Jerusalem.
This is the Arab / Muslim area. The buildings are dilapidated and the IDF oppresses the people there. These people are treated the way American police treat black people.
Yeah this is what I'm talking about. Christians live in these areas too, making up 5% of the population of East Jerusalem.
The Jewish Supremacy inherent to Zionism goes back to race science, similar to White Supremacy. It comes from perceived ethnic superiority, abusing the religion to it's own ends. Zionism goes against the teachings of Judaism, and Jewish opposition to zionism is as old as Zionism itself. The supremacy over and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in fundamental to zionism, it's certainly like early America in many ways
