Europe
Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).
Rules:
1. No Bigotry or Hate Speech
Any forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it.
Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.
2. No Zionism
Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism.
Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.
Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.
3. Stay Civil
Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.
4. No Misinformation
Spreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.
Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.
5. No AI Content
Please do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.
Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Polls say otherwise sadly. The majority of Israelis has repeatedly been shown to be in favor of settling all of Gaza which means erasing Gaza as it was/is and pushing out or killing its people. Thats genocide.
People have to stop looking at Israel as a normal country like any other. Israels population hasnt evolved organically over time like most others. It is largely made up of very religious people that came to Israel out of religious belief and or because their local religious groups in other countries told them that they will only be truly happy/safe once they are in Israel. This is a completely absurd demography chart. Their entire plan is population growth and expansion.
Its basically a complete ethno state filled with only the most radical religious people that were willing to give up their life to move to their divine land. There are some really good documentaries on this and its very painful to watch them.
First of all, please cite your polling sources. You cannot make such a strong claim without providing a reputable polling source.
Second, your population chart is misleading as it is only marginally more bottom heavy than the world average
I appreciate the argument you're making and I'm not dismissive you outright but you have not been convincing.
They have made themselves into something incompatible with humanity, only for killing.
Translate some of the shit they sat on twitter, or the lyrics of their popular music. Tell me those are human once you've done that. I don't even need to direct you anywhere in particular, just feed a few random posts or songs through your translator of choice. I'll wait.
I do not disagree with you that the government and a large contingent of Israelis fit that description. And I'm not sure why you think otherwise. No society is a monolith.
Translate a random sample of the shit they say on twitter. Random sample of their music. See how many until you find one that's not genocidal, not about their glorious rapes, not about Zionist supremacy.
Fuck even the milder swastika nazis will occasionally fantasize about fucking a lobotomized zombie tradwife instead of a bare throat hole left by a decapitation while the still living head stares on
Would you like me to find vile Twitter posts from any particular nation or culture? it's not hard
Or would you prefer the articles about social media bots supporting netenyahu?
