What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Belgium joins the ranks of Australia, France, Canada and the UK, all who have pledged to recognise a Palestinian state at the UNGA next week in a bid to ramp up pressure on Netanyahu’s government to end the assault on Gaza and alleviate the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

And it's only a couple decades past the point that the words and actions of Israeli government officials made it clear that a two state solution is impossible due to Israel not respecting national boundaries any more than their own occupation checkpoints! Bra-fucking-vo, Belgium! 🙄

The only possible peaceful solution is to dissolve the fascist apartheid regime of Israel and replace it with a democratic, secular and ethnically egalitarian system, 1990s South Africa style.

That is hard because Israel has a lot of racism and hate in the population. I think both sides hate each other which makes democracy difficult.

A better plan would be to setup a DMZ with clear consequences if it is crossed.

That's what they used to say about aparteith south africa too.

Don't compare the oppressed hate and the oppresor hate. The oppressed hate end when they gain freedom

As for the DMZ it didn't prevent israel from attacking egypt and occupying gaza and the west bank
