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.

According to the people who seem to be defining the term, anti Zionism equals antisemitism.
I get what you're saying and also wish no ill on the non nazi Israelis. But they're gonna scream antisemitism at anyone who won't at least send them more munitions either way. These aren't sane people.
There's dishonest people defining it that way, yes. And those people will pounce on poorly worded statements like "Israelis can't co-exist with humanity" as point to it as a call for the extermination of Israel's citizens and civilian population, and they will use it to convince honest people that it's our goal.
When fighting dishonest people, you can't afford to make stupid statements that give their lies cover.
Yeah im not disagreeing at all, just noting thats inevitable at this point since its the dishonest people in both media anf politics that warp the term to cover anything they need it to in the moment.
Just look how starmer used that exact play to eject anyone not right wing from the labour party in the uk.
I don't care if evil monsters call me their enemy. I consider that a badge of honor.
I do care, however, if my own words can be used by those same monsters to mislead good people.
Yeah thats a good way to put it
Neither side scores highly on the scale for pragmatism or reasonableness (or peaceful intentions towards their opposites..). The idea that the Israelis will simply give up their land + country and leave the region is absurd. Those who unbendingly insist upon it, well, I question their sanity too. Possession is still 9/10 of the law in internaitonal politics. Even today, after having all of history to look back upon. Often convoluted legalistic moral arguments on the Arab side have also accomplished little in 80 years as far as gaining Arabs/Palis international support for their wishes and demands.

Is there a way to be anti-zionist without practically wanting all jews to leave the area where Israel currently is? It's about wanting to dismantle the country known as Israel, isn't it?
edit I asked the question, but it was of course rhetorical. Anti-Zionism is exactly wanting to dismantle the country known as Israel, not giving a fuck what happens to the people living there as a consequence.
There could be an argument for a return to 1947 borders that includes full demilitarisation.
Zionism is the support of a Jewish/white supremacist apartheid state.
I am an anti-Zionist. I don’t think apartheid ethnostates should exist. That is not the same as saying “I think all Jews should be run out of the historical land of Palestine.” It means I believe in equal opportunity and governance for all people, regardless of their class, ethnicity, gender, religion, or lack of religion.
This seems to me like you should be opposing Palestine as well.
You could look at it that way, but countries have come and gone throughout history. However they got there, they are there now, if they would peacefully coexist in the area, then it was Zionism that put them there but they would no longer be practising the murderous expansionism of Zionism.
The problem is thats not gonna happen without some kind of reckoning, and even if that were to happen, the reparations due are incalculable at this point
erm iirc the it was a full-fledged extermination policy in Europe and mass expulsions from Casablanca to Isfahan that brought the bulk of jewish Israelis there.
