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.
-
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.

Yeah, it really looks like Germany has learned the wrong lesson from the Holocaust.
Quite a leap from a legitimate criticism over their politicians actions to denying a whole people statehood... Maybe add some nuance to your thinking like the other comments on this thread have.
No. No ethnic group is entitled to their own statehood. That's a blatant endorsement of ethnostates, which is an inherently authoritarian and genocidal concept.
Also, some random dickhead reported my comment for "promotion g genocide". Some real backwards ass shit right there.
International law do not prohibit merging and separating states. Because of Israel policies since it's creation and building colonies over the decade a two state solution is impossible to do. I have yet seen anybody saying how to implement a two state, politicians only say it without conviction to protect Israel goals and maintaining the status quo
I would feel the same if the Zionists had picked my country as destination and I’d live on a strip of land while everything else would be Israel.
You can feel the same. And you have the right to speak out for that. Your and my feelings are not a suitable basis for international politics.
Are you deducing my point of view to a discussion of mere feelings?
In case my opinion is not worthy enough for you, check out Israel Zangwill, who was a zionist and a proponent of ”people without land, land without people” narrative, but after realising it was already inhabited turned against it.
"Genocide for thee, not for mee"
EDIT: Yes Lemmy, if you take Palestine, give it's territory to Israel and disband Palestine, and then impose control upon them - that's a form of genocide.
But of course you want this towards another country/state, just giving you a good example of your own hypocrisy.
Are you the moron who reported my comment "genocidal"? Wtf is wrong with you? How dense do you have to be to have that interpretation?
Israel is an erhnostate. It's existence is built on genocide. I said Germany shouldn't support the state of Israel because it is inherently genocidal, and it fucking is. That means Germany ignored the lessons they were supposed to learn from the Holocaust and is endorsing genocide.
Maybe think before you comment and report baselessly like that.
Ethnic nationalism is a medieval idea that creates unstable societies
Weird how you're getting downvoted when it's just facts. No reasoning or anything either.
