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. 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.

Israel's Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, meanwhile, called for immediate punishment for the Palestinian Authority and expanded settlement construction in the Occupied West Bank as a response.
This is unhinged, wanting to punish the PA for other countries recognizing Palestine.
They were gonna do that anyway; they're just seizing upon what Norway/Ireland/Spain did as a fig leaf of an excuse.
What did you expect from genocidal maniacs?
I always knew Antarctica couldn't be trusted.
Those penguins are up to something. You can't trust someone who goes swimming in formal wear..
Wait! Vatican recognized Palestine?!?
Either way if what Spain said is true and Europe becomes green as well, it would be pretty much US, Australia and Israel to not recognize Palestine
Obligatory note for all the "Christians should support Israel" crowd. The Israeli minister of Security said, that Christians should be spit on. When Christians want to pray for Easter in the Church of the holy sepulcher, Israeli security forces are also harassing and attacking them. Israel is not only an ethnostate, it is also founded on religious and race supremacy, where white european/american Jews are on the top of the hierarchy and anyone else will face discrimination.
Hold on, the 1900s british colony Israel has the same name as the kingdom from the bible and is therefore the same because jews or something.
Anyway, we need it to fulfill prophecies. /s
The UK too. We love to be on the wrong side of history.
I don't like Israel
Wow I found hamas guys
Maybe we should sanction them.
Yeah. Probably.
“Sorry best we can do is more bombs, officially define antisemitism as calling these guys assholes, and, uh, oh yeah, giving their military benefits packages!”
Don't forget threatening to sanction the ICC over the Netanyahu arrest warrant.
sooo much shit, it's hard to keep it all in one post.
Not sure how the Jewish would think about this but I'm starting to think it's antisemitic to link the Jewish and Israel (apart from Israel defining itself as a Jewish state). Funny how that might go full circle.
I'm starting to think it's antisemitic to link the Jewish and Israel
It definitely is. There's few things more antisemitic than assuming that all Jews approve of the fascist government of an apartheid ethnostate committing genocide with impunity.
It's right up there with the Alex Jones "globalist" conspiracy theories.
Russia threatened "severe consequences" for sanctions and supporting Ukraine.
Israel is not doing itself any favours threatening other countries.
I wish the US would send as many weapons to Israel as it sends to Russia
Technically the US is sending lots of weapons to Russia. Ukraine are even being real Bros about it and trying to deliver the munitions first cuz Russia keeps misplacing their stuff. Not their fault Russia is doing a very poor job of accepting their deliveries.
Israel threatens 3/4 of the world. Lmao.
That, and their leverage is pretty weak. Small dogs bark the loudest.
So their punishment to other countries for recognising Palestine is to intensify their Palestinian genocide?
How can anyone see this and not realise that this whole thing was never about Hamas, they were just an excuse to finally get the ball rolling.
So Israel is just being a pariah of the world as usual. Nothing new.
As of now Slovenia, Spain, Norway, Ireland, Malta, Trinidad and Tobago have announced they will soon start recognizing the state of Palestine. That brings the number of countries that recognize the state of Palestine to around 150 countries out of 193 countries in the UN.
Not only that but around four fifths of the world population lives in these countries. So an overwhelming majority both in the UN and on a population scale recognize them.
With that being said, let's go Israel. Be more of a pariah than you already are. Close yourself off from all these countries. Shoot yourself in the foot.
Fuck israel.
What's he gonna do, start a genocide in Spain? Start setting up settlements in Ireland? Get fucked bibi.
Hey Israel, China called. They want their “angry threats because someone recognized Taiwan” mode back.
So they are going with North Korea theory of foreign of relations. That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
Palestine has a right to exist.
Israel's foreign minister Israel Katz said in a public statement that the move to recognize Palestine was a "distorted step" by the countries
Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also condemned the move Wednesday and said the response from Israel would be to intensify its operations in Gaza—where the ICC chief prosecutor this week alleged war crimes by Israeli forces have taken place—even further. In his remarks, Ben-Gvir called for a "root treatment" for the city of Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled but many still remain with nowhere go.
That old right-wing refrain: "Look what you made me do!"
I recognise Palestine.. wish my country would too :(
"Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir also condemned the move Wednesday and said **the response from Israel would be to intensify its operations in Gaza." **
That's right! We're gonna genocide harder! That'll show em whose right!
Can they just shut the fuck up already and end their war? They're just firing wildly and killing Palestinian civilians, hostage Israeli civilians, and even themselves! Occasionally they're getting a member of Hamas.
Just fucking throw in the towel and take the L. Part of me this at this point that Netanyahu is partially prolonging the war because he wants Democrats to be divided and Trump to win so he has an even friendlier US.
Why do the good die young, and the evil live forever?
"Why yes, we have every intention of starting and starring in World War 3 featuring the USA as our fellow baddies, thanks for asking!"
It used to be, "Who has the biggest penis?"
Now it's, "Who's the biggest cunt?"
Israel’s final warning
"China's final warning" is a Russian ironic idiom originating from the Soviet Union that refers to a warning that carries no real consequences.
I love this. "Israel invades Norway" would be such a great news story to follow.
