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.

Whether or not someone is a “true victim” who “deserves the bed they made” or not, antisemitism is still counterproductive to the cause of a free Palestine in either case since it encourages Jews to go to Israel. If antisemitic behavior against even an outright Israel supporting Zionist who you consider to deserve it is the final straw that pushes them far enough to move out of say NYC, London, Melbourne etc. and go to Israel, that’s a failure. Now instead of just sending donations to Israel and talking crap on Facebook or whatever, every single economic action they take in Israel boosts Israel’s GDP, their children will serve in the IDF, Israel is further strengthened and has another anchor and voice to draw in family or friends who want to visit and to tell them to move to Israel.
The point I'm making is that the only moral obligation we have with regards to anti-semitism is to protect the victims of it and in my eyes Jewish persons who were totally fine with Racial Discrimination that favored them and those like them aren't victims - they've been busy manufacturing Racism and Racists for their own benefit, and thus when the moster they themselves fed turns around and bites them, that's the Find Out stage of their Fuck Around, and similarly Jewish persons who even now support mass murder of civilians who they see as "vermin" because they're not from "God's chosen people" aren't victims, they're aggressors being punished for their own actions.
Mind you, Zionists who are not Jews, in my eyes are just as much people who support mass murder of civilians who they see as "vermin" because they're not from "God's chosen people" and thus are aggressors, hence deserving of punishment - it's not the ethnicity that makes one an aggressor or a victim, it's one's words and actions.
Whilst I totally agree that anti-semitism is not at all a just or fair way for those who deserve it to be made to suffer for their actions, none of the just ways are working because top politicians in most of the West, be it because they're bought, blackmailed or just idiots, are activelly blocking mechanisms such as sanctions and even a blockade of Israel, so all that's left is the equivalent of natural forces - the tide that after it goes out, comes back in - and in this case we ended up with what's essentially the "justice" of the mob, and the mob isn't fair and proper or even trully just - in its rage against the deeds of a few it irrationally punishes anybody who in any way form or shape is associated with those few, plenty of whom are totally innocent.
I don't agree with such mechanism and if I had magical powers to change things I would never choose such a mechanism, yet it is as it is, naturally so for the reasons I explained in my previous post, and those who deserve most of the blame for this are those who fed this very monster and used it against others and for their own benefit.
