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.

Canada sells weapons to Israel and still their citizens get treated like this. Maybe stop giving them guns?
Our “liberal” government is indistinguishable from 80s/90s conservatives.
Terrorist
Why are we still calling them “settlers”? We’re not playing fucking Civ.
Colonisers. The whole country.
Terrorist paramilitary
Man, I know it's wrong to hate a whole country and its people. But Israelis are making it harder for me to stay reasonable. There doesn't seem to be single thing that they've done in the past few decades that's not horrible and disgusting.
meh I'm Canadian and after reading this fuck Israel, fuck all Israelis, all of them. I don't care anymore. Call me an anti-semite whatever I don't care. Fuck that country, fuck it's people. There's zero redeeming factors for ANY of them.
Don't feel bad. It turns out they despise us and have been taking our money and corrupting our institutions while laughing at us.
Not surprising considering the country was founded by terrorists and continues to honor them to this day.
If someone decides to move there, find out about how they are not supposed to be there, ignore it and continues to live there even though they can migrate to anywhere they want in the world, then they are part of the problem. This "not everyone is bad" didn't stop Germany and Japan, because they don't understand any language other than force.
Won Eurovision
You mean bought votes and won eurovision??
Israelis turn themself from victims to nazis in less than 80 years. I bet Hollywood will NOT exploit Israelis war crimes in the same manner.
attack on titan kinda does already
This will probably get me whacked…
Or has the historical narrative been rewritten so thoroughly, and public opinion directed so well, that… well no no we can’t say that out loud.
But I mean has this been the behavior of millennia? Does capitalism even exist in its current form without usury?
At this point I am pretty comfortable saying glass Israel. If there was a vote right now I’d say just do it. You can’t just be complicit and benefit from these horrible things and expect complete absolution. That’s pretty extreme and a worldwide ban of Israel, dissolution, a ban on any sort of theocratic or quasi-theocratic state and anything looking like it would be mandatory. I don’t think that would work in practice though, just more lies would be the result. “God promised us this land” is a mental disorder at best and more likely a blatant “you can’t outright say I am lying” high school level lie in practice.
The embarrassment and shame of being Zionist like Germany had over nazism is absolutely necessary though. I’m just not sure that was as well placed as we think. Currently we discuss the nazis persecution of Jewish people as “that’s just crazy and sick, how could anyone do such a thing” while Zion exists and is shamelessly genociding a people while overtly manipulating the gentiles as if we are animals. Is this the behavior pre ww2? Was this telegraphed? I believe so.
As a complete aside, and I am very interested and empathize with the Romani people, I am fascinated by their ability to see non Romani as (insert however they actually see us here) and include their children in their hustles. Like how do you explain to kids that it’s us against the world(literally) and we are allowed to lie and manipulate them at all costs? This thought occurred to me when I was helping a nice family who apparently had ran out of gas. The kid was doing their part with the sad eyes and all that. I would love to chat with a gypsy(with all due respect) to get some insights on their culture.
I can’t help but draw a parallel there though. Nazi persecution of peoples who see themselves as apart and those two groups overt exploitation of those who are not of their culture. Zionists simply being much more successful as of now.
I kinda see extreme measures being required to get these people(zionists) to stop being necessary. And where is the line? How is that accomplished?
I dunno but more and more being disgusted with this farce in Palestine I can’t help but reflect on this…
How did Hollywood exploit war crimes of the second world war in particular? Is e.g. Schindler's List an exploitative movie?
I love the movie, but maybe Inglorious Basterds?
