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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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 headline is ANTI SEMETIC! Let me FIX it For YOU! "Palestinian Father TORTURES his Child by Not Talking!" NOW it's NOT Anti Semetic!
-Governments who Wonder why People are Attacking Synagogues!
anyone attacking synagogues is doing so of their own volition and are ACTUALLY motivated by ACTUAL antisemitism. Israel ≠ Jews as a whole
I'm sure that guy knew what target he has chosen very well. It wasn't at random.
Exactly, there's a difference between Jews and Israelis. Attacking synagogues is wrong but AIPAC offices, we can have a conversation about those.
For example, I'm Jewish, but I say "fuck Israel." Except for my one Israeli cousin who keeps getting arrested for disobeying orders. He and his squad are cool.
What about that Jew who spray painted a swastika onto a synagogue? Or when that Jew yelled out "Kill all Jews" and got a pro Palestine protest shut down, and like 100 of its people arrested. I'm conflicted on how to feel about things like that.
I know one synagogue that was attacked was very explicitly zionist, promoting the killing of Palestinians. I doubt it's every one, but you can't really be that mad when you're promoting murdering people for people to want to murder you. This isn't exactly justification, but it is an example of reaping what you sow, which the Torah does warn about.
I'm sorry but at this point, I don't care anymore.
You can call me anti-semetic all you want that term has very little meaning to me now and that's purely because of the bullshit that Israel is doing to a people that simply can't defend themselves. The fact that Israel is committing the SAME bullshit that was committed to them nearly 100 years ago because they feel it's "their turn" is absolute pure evil.
I can't stand it. I grew up Catholic but I hate Christianity because of all the bullshit that group has done in the name of God. I can hate the Jews for the same reason. If you're Jewish and you condemn what your people are doing then great, I respect you for it. Just like I can respect Christians that speak out against the bullshit they've done. But Jewish "settlers" burning homes and attacking people because they feel they're owed the land? torturing infants and toddlers? Call me an anti-semite. I don't care.
In US universities, a lot of the student protesters against the genocide in Gaza were jews, they were called anti-semitic terrorists anyway. We've seen the same thing in France, where jews students protested but were still called anti-semitic, pro-Hamas, etc.
Going with the confusion is very exactly what Netanyahu and his accomplices want: people mad about what Israel is doing taking on jews, so that Israel supporters can label them all anti-semitic and immediately discard whatever they will say.
Exactly. It's a cornerstone of Israeli Jewish supremacist nationalism to try to conflate Jewish culture and Israel in the minds of the world.
Calling out judaism the religion as bullshit is totally fine, when people talk about anti-semitism i believe they have in mind racial positions against jewish people
Once a Catholic always a Catholic. Walking away doesn’t absolve your guilt in participating in belief system that has been one of the most violent forces in history. Why’d you even participate in the first place? Aside of proclaiming your disdain for the institution anonymously online, what are you doing in real life to stop the spread and influence of your religion? Are you targeting Catholics in your community? Destroyed any houses of worship or places where they gather. How do I even know you’re a non-practicing Catholic, maybe you look like one…
This is what the stupidity of antisemitism looks like. It ignores any subtleties or nuance in the life of an individual and heaps the blame for the actions of some on all, regardless of whether that someone even endorses it or has the capacity to prevent it. Think Joe Jew in Nebraska has any power to stop the Israeli government even if he finds their goals abhorrent? He’s as powerless to stop them as you are.
You’re upset that some in Israel are harming those who can’t defend themselves, including children. Hate crimes don’t require the victim to actually be whatever the perpetrator thinks they are. You endorse blanket antisemitism and you’ll end up with neo-Nazis shooting up places Jews (or people they think are Jews) are located and unprotected, probably get some kids while they’re at it. Turning your rage against anyone that reminds you of who you’re actually upset with is just redirecting your anger to the most convenient target.
Israel and its acolytes "don't help" by keeping repeating it's their biblical right. This results in a unilateral meaning and use of the term "anti-Semitism".
Who stated so?
they do.
"The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say: 'O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'
read a book, it might help you understand
"Who does...?"
"They do..."
There's always some vague "they", isn't there? Yes, it is promotes by some Muslims. It's not all, or probably even most, and definitely far from it in western nations.
The same way I can say the same about Jews, because the Bible promotes killing in order to take land from people they decide aren't as deserving, this is bullshit reasoning. You can't just group all the followers of a religion into one belief. Hell, even the people in the same church, synagogue, mosque, or whatever house will have differences in opinion. Your logic promotes spreading hate targeting the wrong people.
Talk to some people with different opinions sometime. It might help you understand.
the they wasn't vague, it was contextual, don't you know how to have a conversation? I never said it was all. if you need specifics, extremist Islamist do. there's you go, question answered. I didn't group anyone. I just point out a belief held by many. I also didn't state any logic, just facts, which you don't seem to like. btw I'm ex Muslim so I'm well aware of the hatred I was raised in and surrounded by and don't need you minimising my lived experience just because it doesn't fit in with your world view. antisemitism is deeply rooted in islam, it's a fact.
Ok, it wasn't vague, but you meant all, but you never said it was all, and you can give specifics. Oh, but I should have known the specifics from context, even though you meant Muslims in general, but you also give just some specifics which doesn't include all of them. Sure, I know how to have a conversation. I also know what you're doing, which isn't a conversation. You want to just call other people evil.
Cool story. I also lived with an atheist former Muslim. It isn't minimizing your experience to say that your experience has colored your outlook on life. I think religion in general is a tool for forming in-groups and out-groups, and that's the issue. It isn't Islam, nor Judaism, nor Christianity, nor any other. They all want to kill anyone else, because they know the truth. Islam isn't special.
Religion is a tool of the elite to control people. Hate the right thing. It isn't the religious who are the problem, rather it's the elites wherever they can grab power. If you know your history, Christians went around murdering everyone in the middle east for a good chunk of time (and we still are), because their Truth is more truthy than Muslim's Truth, or whatever. Really, it was just a way for the elite to steal land. The Muslim leaders in power do the same thing. They use their religion to tell people to fight for them (yet they never do any of the fighting). The Jews do as well. The Torah, which they all stem from, has several stories promoting "righteous" genocide against other groups, which Israel is using to this day to say that the land belongs to them. You just need a leader in power willing to push those messages.
don't tell me what I meant please.
also tbh your comment goes all over that place so I'm not sure what the trust of it is? religion is shit and everyone is at fault? yeah I broadly agree
OK, so I'm both supposed to know what you mean without asking, and I'm supposed to not tell you what I'm interpreting it as. Interesting. You get mad when I ask you and you get mad when I say what I got from it. It doesn't sound at all like you're trying to be racist without being explicit. Lol.
no one is mad. except maybe the people who are writing rambling essays because of a comment from a stranger. I hope you enjoyed wasting your time.
My bad, I thought your comment was the one responding to me. Not the one above. Sorry.
You're grand
btw I'm not Arab but good try. thanks for wishing my family dead I guess.
"all arabs want to kill jews"
You're not an ex muslim idiot.
I mean in contemporary times. Not like hindreds or thousands of years ago.
i'm not saying nobody says so. But who justifies war, genocide and land acquisition with biblical/islamic/judaic/... arguments. In this day and age.
Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Americans. the list is endless.
Go tell that to people who got their family bombed asshole
It's a racist cult sure but burning synagogues is counter productive. Better to lobby for a ban to the abuse these lunatics put their children through.
It’s Semitic 😎.
