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. 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.

If you want to believe this, its on you to show us it. The entire thread obviously knows much more about whats going on in Israel and all we've gotten from you is your projection of how you wish things were.
If this opposition to the Israeli led genocide exists within Israel show us.
Sure, right after I show you how I don't have dual loyalties to America and Israel, right? I have to show people that one all the time.
Of course, a lot of times, they don't believe me anyway.
You are making a claim for the existence of a thing. No one else made that claim. We are asking for evidence of that claim. I've looked for evidence. I am not finding any evidence of a "don't genocide the Gazans" movement within Israel. I can find evidence outside of Israel.
Funny how you left out the whole Jewish diaspora part this time like you said before. Because you absolutely suggested that people like me are Israelis or even have some sort of opinion about Israel that should be weighted higher than any other non-Israeli.
I want to make this absolutely clear to you:
I am a Jew.
I am not an Israeli.
I have no affiliation to Israel.
I have no Israeli relatives.
I have never been and do not plan to go.
I feel absolutely no allegiance or kinship or anything else to Israel and never have.
I was born in Indiana.
I have far more in common with a Palestinian-American born in Omaha than I do a Jewish Israeli born in Tel Aviv.
Therefore: my stance on Israeli genocide is of equal weight to yours.
So stop bringing up non-Israeli Jews as if they are of specific relevance to this issue.
You like, really need to go touch some grass.
You are asking people to support your claim that there is an extant anti-genocide movement within Israel. You've done it repeatedly throughout this entire post.
YOU are making a claim and I'm asking for your evidence.
And I am telling you that I have no reason to give anything to someone who thinks about me and other non-Israeli Jews in such a bigoted way no matter how many times they ask.
Sorry, you lost that when you decided I have dual loyalties.
You are just making up the idea that anything any one here has said is biggoted. Its completely disconnected from reality
I will quote you again:
And I will tell you again: I am not an Israeli. I have no affiliation to Israel. Stop associating me with Israel. It's bigoted. More to the point, it's a lie.
What in the chicken-fired chuckle fuck are you talking about?
I'm asking you to support something you've said with evidence. I'm telling you that I've looked for the thing you claim exists and I can't find it. You have continuously repeated a claim about there being an anti-genocide movement within Israel that requires accounting for. I've looked for this movement in media and within my friends and family in the region. I can't find evidence for it. You claim it exists. Show me your evidence or shut the fuck up.
Once again, I have no interest in backing up my claims to someone being bigoted against me. If someone else wishes to ask me, fine. You have revealed yourself with your comment... and if you wish to claim your comment is not bigoted, please explain my association to Israel.
No one is being bigoted here and all of your whinging is projection.
You are just using that as an excuse to create a narrative you wish existed. And I wish it existed too. I wish there was an anti-genocide movement in Israel. I wish there was an opposition within Israel to work with and organize with. I can't find anyone not-outside of Israel who appears to hold the view that Israel is conducting a genocide and that they need to stop.
The fact is that you just made shit up repeatedly to pretend things were the way you wanted them to be and have continued to proceed in-spite of several other commenters with far, far more knowledge and experience on these matters showing you that you are just talking out of your ass.
Once again, if you are not being bigoted, please explain my association with Israel and/or why you brought up non-Israeli Jews. Because if you aren't being bigoted, I will show you the evidence.
But you are, so I guess you'll have to wait for someone else to ask me for the evidence.
And I do have the evidence. I have a URL ready to go.
Whatever dude. You are a sad fucking troll.
I guess you don't actually want that evidence. Otherwise you would explain what the association between me and other non-Israeli Jews and Israel is to prove you aren't being bigoted.
Like I said- I have that URL all ready to go.
Edit: Of course, I am about to go to bed...
I've reviewed the comment thread. You know other people can rread it too right? So everyone who gets this far knows you are just making this shit up.
We're having this conversation in public kiddo. But maybe it is best you head to bed. You clearly need a break.
See, the problem with you accusing me of making it up is that I literally quoted you. Twice.
I will do it a third time:
Since you won't explain why the association between non-Israeli Jews and Israel is not bigoted, I guess I'll be going to bed without that URL for you.
Again, anyone else is welcome to ask and I'll provide it tomorrow.
Edit: Left out 'Israeli'
