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.

And I am sure there are people who are absolutely convinced I'm antisemitic (a term that gets thrown around way too often and has no relation to the actual true meaning of the term "Semite"). Personally, I don't care for anyone's primitive monotheistic religious beliefs, Jewish or otherwise.
Zelenskyy, in my opinion, is an American imperialist tool just like Netanyahu. Could you imagine America's response if the ball was on the other foot and unfriendly powers were encroaching on their borders? There's a reason that Ukraine isn't in NATO already. It's a fragile democracy at best and corrupt to the core at worst.
As for the IDF, I'd be interested to find out the percentage of Jews to non-Jews that serve, but given that 65% of the Jewish Israeli population oppose the criminal prosecution of soldiers suspected of gang-raping Palestinian prisoners held in torture facilities, I'm guessing the percentage is high.
Suggesting that Zelensky has dual loyalties because he's Jewish is a bigoted thing to say.
And yet not 100% as you implied earlier. Which, again, was bigoted.
Whether or not you think you're not antisemitic, what you said was bigoted.
If opposing the murder, rape, torture and genocide of an indigenous group of people makes me a bigot in your eyes then I guess it's guilty as charged. But once again you are reacting without understanding.
That is not what I said.
I don't know why you are lying about me, but this is tantamount to trolling.
This is what I said:
Are you going to respond to what I said or are you trolling?
I don't troll. Relax. It's hard to understand what you are trying to say. Zelenskyy's loyalties are pretty obvious. It's well documented if you care to do a bit of research... or at least google it if you're strapped for time. Look, the whole 'Jewish Voice For Peace' thing is cute 'n' all but I don't give a fuck about your beliefs or your religion. How about simply a 'Human Voice For Peace'? Is that too hard? Your religion is irrelevant to me. You care about it because it's a subsection of your religion that is committing genocide. You feel guilty because you follow that religion - I get it - and certainly it's not your fault. But what you believe religiously is between you and whatever illusion of a god you have created. Not of interest to me. I'd just like to see innocent people stop dying or being tortured, raped, brutalised or burnt alive. That's the important thing here. Not your guilt. Not your way of trying to justify your religion or defend it. It doesn't matter. Your beliefs don't matter. No-one fucking cares what you belief. What matters is people's lives, and every day that goes past, more and more lives are destroyed because a subsection of the Jewish community (albeit Zionists) think they are special, and god's chosen, and entitled to a piece of land that other people have been living on for thousands of years. Try to understand that it's not about you, but rather the little kid in Palestine, for example, whose entire family has been killed and is suffering from malnutrition (and probably doesn't have legs any longer) thanks to an abhorrant religious ideology that regard his people, family and friends as subhuman. Enough! Think about it just for a fucking second.
