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.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Their appearance was all the more remarkable considering Le Pen's father, National Front founder Jean-Marie, was convicted of inciting racial hatred for saying the gas chambers used to kill Jews during the Holocaust were "merely a detail in the history of the Second World War".
The march is the most striking sign to date that Le Pen's strategy to normalise the party's image is working, taking down one more barrier in her quest for respectability and boosting her chances in future elections, analysts say.
In France, analysts say Le Pen has implemented it so effectively that it is breaking the glass barrier many said blocked the far right from coming to power - a prospect that is horrifying critics who accuse her of political opportunism and of hiding her party's true colours.
Le Pen's strategy fits into what has happened elsewhere in Europe, in Italy for instance, where Giorgia Meloni's right-wing government has taken a firmly pro-Israeli stance since the Israel-Hamas conflict broke out, a line it embraced long ago to gain respectability.
In Britain, the right of the ruling Conservative Party has adopted a staunchly pro-Israel position and criticised the large demonstrations in support of Palestinians as "hate marches" led by "mobs".
So when I see a big party abandoning antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and march towards the Republic's values, I'm glad," French lawyer and Nazi-hunter Serge Klarsfeld said in Le Figaro newspaper.
The original article contains 822 words, the summary contains 233 words. Saved 72%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm confused, are the jewish worried or not? The headline suggests yes, the rest of the article is ambiguous about that
Not to mention the confusion between antisemitism and antizionism
That is because they aren't of single mind:
Some welcome the far right changing their stance, but there are people who doubt the sincerity of it. They feel like it's a populist move in order to lose the image of antisemitism, in order to appeal to more people, whilst intending to turn on them later.
Thanks, just checking I understood things right. For some reason asking for clarification deserves downvoting
These are polarizing times, certainly considering semitic subjects, unfortunately.
