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.

The only Jewish people with any meaningful power are Israeli Zionists, and those outside of Israel that Israel supports because they serve the Zionist cause...
And Israels power is entirely given to them by the US. Its not truly their power, it was given to them by us, a massive global superpower, because it enables us to use them as the shield and attack dog of our imperialist interests in the most oil rich region of the world (that hates our guts because of all the imperialism) 😅
And like with all our allies, we do not care about them and would immediately discard them were it be more in our interest than continuing support
You are correct that Jewish people aren't currently facing any systemic oppression (which is good), but that is also not the only kind of oppression that exists. Given that mamdani has many Jewish constituents who are anxious about rising animosity towards Jewish people and the state that has worked very hard to make itself a surrogate for Judaism and a symbol of all Jewish people (to protect their ethno-nationalist political project built on genocide), he is right to make sure he is attending carefully to the difference between antisemitism and anti-zionism. His power to do anything as an elected official depends on buy-in, he needs his constituents.
He is not right to sacrifice anti-zionist issues like rejecting land auctions in service of southing peoples anxieties about antisemitism. That's wrong, and hes wrong for it.
my point is he is caring about anti german racism when holocaust is going on.
