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.

Or terrorists.
Both work in this case, but "settlers" is way too sanitary a term for what's happening here.
Lebensraum enjoyers.
But I was told they were the same...
i still can't believe that lie worked on people…
They're the same as long as this war continues. Trump is worse in "peace" time, but it doesn't seem we're getting that any time soon.
he's emboldening world leaders enacting genocide. netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he's enacting. zelenskyy, long a leader saying Ukraine would never give up any territory is planning to enter diplomatic peace talks and loss of territory will almost certainly be part of that.
your ignorance is embarrassing to observe. literally every cabinet pick so far has been a hardcore pro-israel or pro-russia pick.
So first I never said anything about Ukraine. Second,
netenyahu has already expressed plans to accelerate the genocides he's enacting.
He's been accelerating it for a while, what with the ethnic cleansing of North Gaza and all that. We're seeing the next stage in a genocide that was accelerating anyway.

I said nothing about Russia so I'll just ignore that part, but pro-Israel? What is he going to do that Blinken and Biden didn't?
i brought up ukraine because all the active genocides, the ones in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, the Congo, and the Gobi desert are interconnected. our world's billionaires want us to blame minorities for our problems instead of them. i want to make it abundantly clear i think harris and biden suck, but it's definitively not the same things under trump. the top ten billionaires are all already richer and our new regime will do nothing to hear us and slow these genocides. they will accelerate genocide and reduce our ability to find truth by inundating us with bullshit narratives about how it's the left (the actual left, people like me) who are bad, actually.
this is definitively a worsening, and acting like it's not means you're more likely to get caught standing still when you need to be resisting. i am under the impression you think you're helping, which is a good start, but you need to start looking at the bigger picture. get on board with that the modern world is fully interconnected, and that everything is about to get way more authoritarian than you've grown accustomed to, when it was already very authoritarian
Nazis welcome other nazis? No surprise here.
Most of Israel is rightwing mostly because of conspiracy theories around the assassination of Yitzhak Rabbin.
They're a post-culture war society, and they lost. It would be like of the views of the Trump administration just kept getting more and more popular until the country was 85% Trump supporters.
Nazis that voted for Trump: I can't believe we're helping the fucking Jews now...
Well remember that the Nazis early on we're rather supportive of deportation of the Jews. It's a reason why a lot of zionists worked with the Nazis early on, and some of them even after the war had started.
Leftists: How could it get any worse?
Trump: Hold my beer.
