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 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.

There once was a guy who wanted to depopulate large parts of eastern Europe and transform them into something he called living space - which was supposed to be his cash and grain cow.
Maybe we will get the same ending.
75-85 million people died to get that ending
That's the amount of mentally ill conservatives who support fascism this time round, so yes...
Millions or billions will have to die to stop those idiots and every country has their own version
The bones of murdered women and children make a solid foundation for a holiday resort.
'paradise' built on a graveyard of genocide, the latest luxury item for idiots.
Truly the American Way
Has anyone considered that the reason we're so cursed is because the US is built on top of a native American burial ground
Lemmy is finally getting somewhere
Goodness... I thought it was just one of trump's social media pundits spouting nonsense, maybe with an AI-generated image or two, but this is serious. That I hate America and Israel at this point goes without saying, but I hate any country or politician that closes their eyes to what these nations have become.
You really need to read the article, but here is a lengthy quote regardless:
The GREAT Trust was drafted by some of the same Israelis behind the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), whose aid distribution points in Gaza have been the sites of deliberate massacres and other incidents in which thousands of aid-seeking Palestinians have been killed or wounded.
According to the Post, financial modeling for the GREAT Trust proposal "was done by a team working at the time for the Boston Consulting Group"—which played a key role in creating GHF. BCG told the Post that the firm did not approve work on the trust plan, and that two senior partners who led the financial modeling were subsequently terminated.
The GREAT Trust envisions "a US-led multirlateral custodianship" lasting a decade or longer and leading to "a reformed Palestinian self-governance after Gaza is "demilitarized and de-radicalized."
However, to journalist Hala Jaber, the plan amounts to "genocide packaged as real estate."
any government/company involved in this project should be tried for crimes against humanity. Dipshit Trump probably plans to build some more casinos there which he can bankrupt.
Ahh yes - Germania
Hmm I'm confused...
"Voluntary emigration" is widely considered a euphemism for ethnic cleansing, given Palestinians' general unwillingness to leave their homeland.
But I thought they were refugees, i.e. Gaza ISN'T their homeland. If they are living in their homeland then how are they still refugees?
One of my friends is a Ukrainian refugee. He isn't living in his homeland and doesn't consider himself British.
The land now known as Israel, including Gaza and the West Bank, is their homeland. These people are refugees because they were driven out of their homes during the violent formation of Israel in 1948 and many of those who survived ended up in refugee camps in Gaza. Gaza is one small corner of their homeland. Over the course of 70 years or so, these refugee camps became entire cities because these people had nowhere else to live, for generations. So they were refugees in a small corner of the country that was once theirs. Then Israel destroyed even these cities.
Ah right. So residents of Mariupol who now live in different parts of Ukraine would also be considered refugees while still being in their homeland.
Take one of the most violently-contested parts of the Earth, a center of blood feuds that have been raging for, depending on how you count it, between eighty and six thousand years, a place that has become synonymous for "a location of endless conflict," take that piece of real estate, enhance the violence, and then tell yourself you're going to build a bunch of high-end condos and invite rich assholes to move in.
What could possibly go wrong?
The plan is this AI-generated nothing burger. What a bunch of monsters, un any case.
Disgusting genocidal pigs
Monstrous
