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.

I mean, one of those links is about the SC hearing the complaints and siding with the first fascist...
And if you read some of the stuff from the second guys link; he's trying to take power away from their courts anyways.
Like, I specifically said:
Their people are still just people. But Israel is in a unique position where there's a steady stream of far right extremists immigrating in, and they're pretty much the only ones immigrating.
So generations that grow up there, are often tired of the violence, but there's always new people coming in, with the belief that Israel needs to expand to make room for them.
People that think Israel is already too rightwing, are going to stay where they are.
I mean, in the months/weeks/even days leading up to 10/7, Bibi was facing serious threats of being ousted out of power for being too far right wing.
The people had already had enough, but who says they'll get another election if the existing facist goverment is overthrown by an even more fascist government?
Like, the second guy already publicly says only the super Orthodox are "really Jewish" and wants a strict Torah interpretation where only "the chosen" matter.
In his vision the only ones with a say are the far right orthodox sects...
And the Venn diagram of them and the hardcore fascists in Israel is basically a single circle.
The military will likely side with them, at least leadership
So if they try it, the best possible result is likely to be a prolonged civil war where the IDF attacks anyone that doesn't agree with them, not just in Gaza.
This is all a direct parrell to how the nazis reacted when they realized there was a possibility of losing WW2.
That's when the real horrors started, because if they were going to lose, they wanted to kill everyone they could who wasn't 110% on their side in every respect
This shit is dangerous as fuck bro.
They have fucking nukes this time
If it came to other countries having to step in to stop them, or even Israeli citizens rising up. These nut jobs will glass as much of the planet as they can. And completely believe it's "for the greater good".
Ironically this is why conservative evangelicals in America support them. They believe this is what starts Armageddon and the rapture immediately follows.
Lots of people leading countries right now would be completely happy to see all this happen.
About the Vienn diagrams: Isn't there a lot of anti-zionist ultra orthodox Jews?
