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, nor Palestinians have any problems with Jewish people living in Palestine. You continue to conflate Jewish people in general with Zionists. The problem is with the Settler Colonialism, the cornerstone of Zionism. Read the book by Nur Masalha, which details the history of Palestine in the past 4000 years.
You can't be fucking serious. Zionism was explicitly started as a settler Colonialist project. It began with settlements that displaced Palestinians, it has never stopped settling and displacing Palestinians, neither within Israel prior to 1967 or the West Bank after 1967. Which you would have picked up if you engaged with the damn sources instead of acting confidently incorrect because you're terrified that you may be wrong.
come now you can't fool me
it's obvious that anyone against your palestinian cause immediately becomes a zionist and genocider
including surely all the jews living in palestine in the early 20th century and any jew or other human even vaguely supporting them including myself
how can a settler colonialist project be started by natives
the problem is you're antisemitic and pro the genicidal philospphy that the arabs have had for over 100 years
it's only now that the attacks on israel have made the situation so bad that peace is even considered
Read the books and watch the videos if you're so interested. I'm done talking with you. You ignore every source provided. You are either a troll or so willfully ignorant that you can't bring yourself to take a serious look at the sources that contradict your personal world view.
i'm confident the neither of us trust each-others sources
the only way forward to peace is to agree on a shared reality of the region's history and work from there
i hope you can deprogram your fundamentalist left-wing fantasies soon
best of luck
You're one source is Benny Morris, which I've already read and cross referenced with numerous other historians. You haven't read a single book I mentioned. Don't trust, verify. If you're so confident, go ahead and try to prove yourself wrong. It's all readily available, you can find all the books mentioned on Anna's Archive for free, but you won't.
you're very keen on sources i notice, i guess it lends itself to a air of arcane legitimacy
but sources don't matter to the obvious paradox i've been highlighting that you've studiously been ignoring
i think the jews are native to the land of palestine whereas you think they are zionist colonial genocidal invaders
by the way when egypt jordan et al invaded were they being arabic colonial empirical invaders or just good buddies to their arab chums?
