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.

Exactly the guy you want supporting your cause
That's probably why they're writing about it: to make the uninformed equate anti genocide protesters and anyone else who objects to the atrocities being committed by the Israeli apartheid regime with him.
not all of Israel's opponents are good; and this one funds Hamas.
That's 100% irrelevant. Sometimes awful people support good causes for bad reasons. That doesn't make the cause bad.
Genocide doesn't become acceptable just because ACTUAL antisemites are anti-zionist too.
BTW, Israel also funded Hamas
Yes, IIUC the theory goes that they did it to split support for Fatah, and if so, it seems to have worked.
Arguably, Hamas has done much for the Israeli right.
Maybe it's just me, but while I support human rights for Palestinians, the right of Palestinians to be anywhere in Israel, and a right of return for those chased off going back not only to 1948, but earlier, say 1930, nonetheless, fwrick!, I find many of these protesters annoying, be they from Europe, that great shithole of antisemitism, California, where Indigenous were hunted for bounties, NYC where AFAIK, there is no record of the Indigenous in Manhattan getting those gilders for that prime real estate, and as for the leaders of the Muslim-majority countries, fuck Islam and their pedophile prophet (note: I'm not insulting Muslims, I'm insulting Islam).
Hey it's not like we can pick and choose what old fucks like to say on TV or to the press... especially if it's conveniently what Israel apologists want to happen.
That old fuck has been saying stuff like this for decades.
And your point is what exactly?
He's not an ordinary old fuck.
He's been helping pro-Isreal propaganda for decades—a little like George Galloway at times.
I'm still very confused as to what you're trying to say in this thread.
not all who oppose Israel's actions regarding Gaza—the mass murder, the genocide, if you will—are good.
Had anybody, ever, claimed that to be the case?
This evil man seems to be admired by some.
Some what? Iranians?
mostly, presumably, though also some folks in Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, and maybe even a few Western Universities.
So I should start supporting Israel instead?
Or just move to Iran, so you can be on the “right side”
Splendid logic.
