A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Israel: “Zero fucks given, as long as the US gives us everything we want, we will continue to kill whomever we want.”
The US (not just Donald Trump) has been enabling genocide, ethnic cleansing, and human rights abuses for decades.
Journalism is so antisemitic these days.
Yeah, like they care.
Another day, another dozen war crimes
Condemned to what? Shame? We wave our fingers at them? Condemned doesn’t solve anything and tells them they can get away with it.
Strongly worded letters.
"Israel treats journalism as a crime" isn't a condemnation, it's a gross understatement. You don't drop bombs on criminals and then bomb Red Cross workers trying to get them out of the rubble and shoot up an ambulance taking them to hospital. It's hard to find words to describe how deeply evil the everyday actions of Israel are and people are constantly making it sound like some mild transgression.
Israel treats journalism as a crime,
How about Israel treats journalists like nazis treated Jews?
How many condemnations are we at now? I lost count.
None of this matters. Nobody is doing a thing and you can't bring back the dead. Fuck Israel.
First, murica needs to stop giving them carte blanche, see if they smell the coffee...if they don't...let them fight their wars alone and see if being hated and feared is enough to stay safe...
We give them a pass because they bribe our politicians via campaign contributions through AIPAC.
Israel must be dissolved. They will soon pivot to "oh, but we can just change the government! This particular government was evil, but we can replace them with the good guys and go back to supporting Israel", do not let them trick you. This is a genocidal, fascistic ethnostate from the top down. The entire purpose of the project of Zionism has been one of ethnic cleansing from the very start. Israel has got to go, forever, to be a historical footnote for school kids to learn about and say "never again".
The more I read about Israel's behavior, the more anti-zionist I become.
One thing however needs to be made clear however:
Anti-zionism is not antisemitism.
Don't let the propaganda convince you otherwise.
There are plenty of jews who hate what Israel is doing and what it has become.
My line has been, and will always be:
The most antisemitic thing you can say is that Jew = Zionist.
It's not racial to be a sociopathic genocidal monster bent on control and domination.
Indeed.
Claiming that criticism of Zionism is anti-Semitism is claiming that the things that Zionists do are typical Jewish things to do. In other words, that it's a Jewish trait to:
and more.
In summary in light of the acts openly commited by those Zionists who have the power to freely act according to their ideology and the support of other Zionists for those acts, calling criticism of Zionism anti-semitism is the same as saying that the Jewish People as a whole are basically modern day NAZIs with different ubermenschen and untermenschen than the original NAZIs.
In summary, conflating Zionistm with the Jewish People as a whole and thus implying that being a Jew is to think and act similarly to NAZIs is indeed
The most antisemitic thing you can say
Israel killing innocent civilians is as required as eating kosher food.
This will all continue every day until someone shoots back.
Hamas and Hezbollah have been shooting back. It's not enough.
They just take it as an excuse to bomb even more.
As if they fucking care about being condemned.
Add it to the pile
That's just fucking evil. Just pure irrational hatred.
A whole damn country full of psychopaths?
I've been reading a lot of sociology of how people overcome "bad times" and unsurprisingly the answer is almost always connection. As Israel is fundamentally anti-connection state due to being found on explicit exclusionary principle - it can never overcome "bad times" and will forever be in conflict until this is corrected.
in order to warp the narrative in the future, gotta bomb/kill the people reporting on it, so you can distract the next group of rubes from calling for your heads.
