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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Hamas accept the two state solution. Israel doesn't
I also support the one state solution but many Palestinians still believe in a two state solution and Palestinian will have the right to pick which one they really want
That would be nice, but its basically impossible at this point. Neither side would accept the other being a part of their governance. The only way to get to one state now is, well, to do what everyone is accusing Israel of doing right now.
Hamas doesn't accept the two state solution. They are open to maybe discussing potentially reaching a consensus about the 1967 borders.
If you want to underscore Israeli unreasonableness, you've got to point to the PA/Fatah. The PA/Fatah has accepted the two state solution and has stopped violent resistance against Israel. They are in every way an interlocutor for peace. And in return they are being constantly undermined and ratfucked by Israel. Their territory is being annexed, its authority ridiculed, ita legitimacy destroyed.
So PA has respected the term of the Oslo accords and Israel didn't and start building more settlements, arming and protecting the settlers yet PA still accept to work for Israel security while west banker get terrorized and attacked by them . Thank you for proving my point that PA are collaborators and Israel do not want peace regardless if Hamas is destroyed or not
Israel actually dismantled settlements after Oslo. Hamas opposed the Accords and carried out several deadly bomb attacks against Israeli civilians in the runup to the next election. This put Netanyahu in power who ran on an agenda of opposing Oslo as well. Their refusal to a two state solution, and futile hope to defeat Israel through violence and terrorism, squandered every chance for a peaceful solution.
Israel under Rabin seemed intent to stick to the accords, but a far-right ultrazionist terror attack in Hebron and the subsequent assassination of Rabin by a right-wing Israeli extremist undermined it significantly as well.
Of course the mosque attack had the same aim, and needs to be condemned just the same. But despite them, Arafat and the PA decided to continue the path towards peace. Hamas saw them even more as traitors and collaborators because of it (and, I'd like to point out, several posters in this thread still seem to believe this).
Despite it being a shocking event, the assassination of Rabin did not make Israel leave the path. His successor vowed to continue and even had a 30-point lead in the polls at one point.
Without the Hamas' bombing campaign Netanyahu would have been left shouting from a corner instead of being handed the power to reverse Oslo.
then quickly built new one. Even if it was Palestinian that did not respect it. Building more settlements is illegal under international law
Hamas was not part of the Oslo accords . Netanyahu himself say that he was the one who sabotaged it not Hamas
Before we continue: do you believe Netanyahu was part of the Oslo Accords?
What a dumb question
The Oslo Accords are a pair of interim agreements between Israel and the PLO. Israel can't escape from it's obligation just because the prime minister changed. Hamas was never a member of the PLO
Do you believe Netanyahu represented Israel when the Oslo Accords were signed?
Do you think Hamas took over the obligation from the PLO to follow the Oslo Accords when they were elected in Gaza?
Netanyahu represent the state of Israel and have to respect the accords the state of Israel did sign before him. No leaders today has signed the Geneva and genocide convention for example does that mean that current leaders shouldn't respect the conventions their countries signed?
Hamas was not part of the accords so no Hamas doesn't have the obligation to respect it . Israel has killed innocent protestors after the accords was signed and before Hamas committed it's first suicide bombing. After the Oslo accords and before Hamas did it's first suicide bombing , the number of settlers increased and the settler violence never stopped
It's simple logic that you doesn't seem to be able to process. Israel and the countries who support settler colonialism are the only one responsible for the continuation of the occupation.
Once Palestine get liberated we can start talking about holding both side responsible for war crimes and have a great truth and Truth and Reconciliation process
Say Netanyahu is voted out. Do you feel his successor is 'honor bound' to continue the deals Bibi made with Trump?
Signed deals between two states should be respect even when the leaders changes.
Once Netenyahu is voted out someone as bad or worse will take his place. If Hamas is desarmed , isrsel will continue occupation and will move to blame someone else in Palestine
Let's knock it up another notch
Say you are given leadership of Israel. Would you feel bound to respect the deals Bibi made with Trump?
I am done with your stupid questions. I already answered it
You're exaggerating, but also sure, why do they need to go any further? Compromising beforehand is never a good idea, see: PA. Speaking of which, PA isn't a tragic victim; they're an active collaborator. The only thing they do is keep Palestinians under an oppressive dictatorship and fight what little Palestinian resistance exists in the West Bank. That's why they have no legitimacy; their current program is one of submission, not "peace."
They literally didn't. Source?

The 2017 charter of Hamas say that it accept it , it is the last updated version. Khalil al-Hayya has more practical power within Hamas than Mashaal and he said that Hamas would drop arms after having a Palestinian state is made so without arms how are they supposed to destroy Israel

Hmm
Hamas sabotaged the Oslo Accords by blowing up civilians exactly because they opposed a two state solution. (Succesfully, because this then helped Netanyahu seize power)
Hamas was not part of the Oslo Accords so no Hamas did not sabotaged it . Oslo Accords is still respected by the PLO while Israel continue to steal Palestinians land, arm and protects the settler terrorists. I don't know why you keep using the same excuse Israel do
