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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

I keep being told that not a single Palestinian protestor is anti Semitic.
Whatever gave you that impression? I can't see nazis being on the side of Israel. There's probably complexity on views but defacing a concentration camp jew is missing the mark by a lot.
Actually plenty of Nazis are pro Israel, it might even be the default position. Israel can be both a place to send Jewish people to get them out of your country and an example to hold up of successful ethno nationalism. On top of that Nazis would revel in the deaths of Palestinians, the bigotry of Nazis extends further than antisemitism.
Do you have a source for that? Because antisemitism seems to be a core tenant of nazism according to everything I can find.
Also nazis, due to this antisemitism, seem to view Muslims as natural allies, see how neonazis celebrated 9-11 around the world (except in the USA) or this quote:
"...we could have emancipated the Moslem countries dominated by France...All Islam vibrated at the news of our victories...created a feeling of malaise among our Islamic friends..." Adolf Hitler. Last will and Testament.
When they were still figuring out what people would publicly accept, the Nazis mostly favored deportation/displacement genocide rather than outright extermination.

They were, of course, extremely aware that Madagascar could not support the entire Jewish population, but that was most of the point. Anti-semite support of Israel is not about liking Jewish people, it's about gathering the diaspora into one place so it's easier to kill them. Toss in a little Revelations-prophecy for Christian fundie flavor depending on the brand of Nazi.
That sounds more like 'outright extermination' than 'displacement' to me but ok.
I see you're not the oc but as someone defending their point I'll ask again, do you have any sources on these 'plenty of pro-Israel Nazis'?
Who said anything about Nazis? The reality is that anti-semitism is not a uniquely European problem. Especially not with Israel's actions
I just gave one example, that's all
I can't help but think you're being wilfully ignorant in a contrived attempt at making a nonsense point.
You kids all talk the same. I can picture exactly what you look like. Don't insist over and over that there's no anti Semitism mixed into this protest, and then get mad and call people ignorant when they point at it for you. Fix that shit, expel those fucks from your protests, instead of bitching to me online. Do something about it. And if you're not part of these protests and all you do for the cause is sit online and bitch, shut the fuck up. Cause you're not part of any of this. My children under 12 have suffered anti Semitism recently for being proud to be half Jewish. And I'm out there with teachers and city councillors trying to make changes so these protest stay on point and don't veer off into bullshit.
What are you doing?
Why are you treating pro Palestinian people as a monolith? Learn to think critically and realize no protest can somehow rid itself of all shitty people. You're being unreasonable and weirdly condescending because you're older and somehow think it's cool to talk down to folks based on age.
Have I insisted there's no anti-Semitism among the pro-Palestinian movement? No? Then why are you claiming I've insisted there's no anti-Semitism? If I see or hear an anti-Semite in the pro-Palestinian, I would call that person/those people out, as I have in the past. Is that so hard to understand?
Also very weird that you're all "I can picture what you look like". You're being way too presumptuous and that's why you feel so confidently incorrect.
You sound like those people who were more upset about the riots and looting than the fact that police were killing unarmed men.
If you see this as a pro anything move, you got a problem
It's clearly pro Palestinian. Whether it is antisemitic is an issue of perspective but I can see that I am on the minority here and I don't really feel the need to convince you so Ill just accept that you disagree and leave it there
