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.

Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.
It's almost like they're concentrating people in some way...
This is pretty much identical to South African apartheid and American First Nations reservation systems.
Palestine is done. Nobody inside the territory has the capacity to survive, much less resist. Only a handful of minority groups and insurgent factions outside the territory care to defend them, and the police/military have declared open season on Palestinian liberation as a movement. The rest of the world seems content to allow the Holocaust to play out undeterred.
Talk about weasel words, holy shit 💀
Local man brings gun to the bank, limiting the clerk to half of their blood supply.
Israel became terrorist country financed by US tax payers, Ergo US tax payers are terrorist supporters.
So this is why Bezos, Musk and company are not paying taxes, the refuse to support terrorists.
I assume you're joking with the last bit.
Being sarcastic. And typo at the end, missing question mark.
So is this like .. concentrating.. the people into a smaller area, like uh .. camp?
This is closer to just standard imperialism, which Hitler also did. Evil? Yes, but a different kind of evil.
Also I think Israel literally has a concentration camp, so if you want to make that comparison, it's right there.
Imperialism is horribly evil and it deserves to be called out by name. A part of the imperialist process is genocide, which is what we're seeing here.
Gaza has been categorized as the world’s largest concentration camp by holocaust experts already. So yes, they do have a concentration camp, it’s called the Gaza Strip.
This is more like American style genocidal manifest destiny or Nazi lebensraum.
The closest examples I can think of in recent history is the Vietnam war or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But yeah, American style imperialism is what I equate this to.
Netanyahu might as well be Dick Cheney.
It basically already was, they're just making it smaller.
this is just completely fucked up.
I'm curious to know why they chose to stop where they did. Is it a matter of "This is what we reckon we can hold"? Or is it "These areas are the most valuable so we want those"? Or "This is how much we reckon we can take before someone declares war"?
Gaza isn't even contiguous anymore. Where there was one territory, there are effectively now four. One big one, one small, one very small, one tiny. I can't imagine the Israelis are going to allow people to move from one territory to the other so why did they split it up like that?
They can starve the population and take the area anyway so why continue fighting and gaining more and more bad press and investigation. Instead they'll spend that time covering up their crimes and hiding the people they would have a hard time protecting for the moment.
So why not just take all of it? The world isn't gonna do shit about it, so why bother with the splitting of Gaza up into unmanageable little chunks?
They're much more manageable and Israel uses Palestinians as cheap labor, they're keeping enough around to do the shitty jobs while they find anyone else willing to do it before they absorb the rest.
Israel being Israel. They've been doing this since their inception. We need strong international sanctions against Israel. We need to stop this slow moving genocide.
It's not slow moving anymore; you're looking at a full-blown genocide here.
We're looking at children death camps at this point
And against the US too honestly. I say this as a US citizen. Sanction us until we stop bombing Yemen and supplying arms.
I hate this so much, helplessly watching a people getting destroyed in real time.
And even worse, our own governments supporting it and making us complicit
Fascists gonna fash!
they're setting up several Bantustan-like areas just like they did on the West Bank
Just like they did to all of Palestine.
oh shit they're west banking gaza now
Been happening. Libs just noticed with the change of figurehead.
Oh, they noticed before and loved it. They still do, but now they're obligated to pretend they don't love it now that a republican is carrying out their only policy for them.
Easier to genocide people in a dense small group
Fuck Israel.
Evergreen headline.
Bibi borrows a sharpie from the Con-Mander-In-Chief!
Fuck this fascist bullshit
"Israel resets artillery target area in Gaza" will be tomorrow's headline.
