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 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.

because nearly 100 years ago someone else did it to their people and now they're saying "it's our turn."
This is purely about extermination and vengeance towards a people that had NOTHING to do with any of Israels previous issues exactly like the Jewish people in German had NOTHING to do with the issues Nazi Germany felt they were experiencing at the time. The Palestinian people are simply there, on land the Israelis perceive as rightfully theirs and they want them gone JUST like Nazi Germany.
But Zionists won't admit to the correlation. Oh in their heads they know fully well WHY they're doing it, they just won't admit to it. They won't say "this is payback."
Not even close.
~~Most Israelis by a large margin are descendants of people who came from Russia, not Western Europe.~~
Most Israelis by a large margin are either descendants of people who came from Russia, or already lived in the territory of Palestine when Israel was formed, not descendants of people from Western Europe.
Only a small fraction of Israelis are descendants of people affected by the Holocaust, much less of Holocaust survivors.
There is no such thing as a "Jewish Hive Mind" and the only thing these Jews share with the Jews who were victims of the Holocaust is having the same religion, nothing else - not principles, not ethics, not morals, not empathy with victims of extreme racism, not even most of their culture: just because somebody also uses a kippah doesn't mean the think like you.
The Holocaust in Israel is nothing more than a tool used by the present day Nazi-like ideology that runs that place to induce collective fear amongst Jews because it's much more easy to spread extreme racist hate amongst people who live in fear because of their ethnicity.
This explains why, rather than learning from the Holocaust to empathise with the victims of such things (which would be a natural thing for the descendants of the victims of the Holocaust to learn from the experiences of their parents and grandparents), most people in Israel have instead learned extreme racist hate for those who don't look like them and who stand in the way of what they are told "is necessary make Jews safe".
The way the memory of the Holocaust is used in Israel is a complete total shit show of Racism and Propaganda that has massivelly distorted the real thing to serve the objectives of the Nazi-like ideology which is Zionism.
I should have put "their people" in quotes as you're 100% spot on. apologies.
That's a factually wrong. The largest group, which is 40% of the Jewish Israeli population is Mizrahi Jews who originally came from Middle Eastern and North African communities.

Maybe you should tell them they're "factually wrong".
Your source is about immigration (although that website is pretty yank), but the Mizrahi did not immigrate there, they were already there.
Either way, neither the immigrant groups nor the indigenous have much to do with the Holocaust. Last I read, less than 10% of Israel's population is descended from Holocaust survivors. But don't quote me on this, I'd need to find sources.
Fair enough - I don't really know what are the numbers of Jewish People who already lived in the territory of Palestine that was became Israel at the time of the formation of that country.
This info is all I found some time ago because I was curious.
I knew that a lot of people from Russia had emigrated to Israel but the actual number was very surprising when I found out.
But yeah, either way we both agree on the core point which is that a large majority of Israelis are not descendants from people affected by the Holocaust.
I addition to the other comment you got, your source is specifically about Jews while mine clearly isn't. Go tell them yourself.
For most people the takeaway was "Genocide is bad", for Israelis the takeaway was "Genocide against God's Chosen People is bad"
...could it be that an eye for an eye begets a blind people?.. ...fuck, i'm quoting scripture again aren't i, fuck me...
I think that was Gandhi.
...the mahatma?..mohandus gandhi the philandering fuck himself?..damn, i may be wrong, but may i correct you with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_for_an_eye
