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 they meant "far right citizens of Israel that agree with their government's genocide" then, yeah, they are.
Saying that group has nothing to do with Bibi seems an awful lot like saying trump had nothing to do with 1/6.
Can you help me understand how its different?
For what it's worth, It's a fake, not a real ad, and not officially sponsored by the government of Israel.
But it's disturbing precisely because it's so easy to believe that this was real.
Sure. First, is that an advertisement for property? No, it isn't. The statement that it's advertising property is false. It's political propaganda designed to look like an advertisement.
The state of Israel and political groups within that state are different entities. When the Proud Boys release some vile statement, I'm sure someone, somewhere is like "OMG look what the US is doing!" But the Proud Boys and the US state are different entities, even if the Proud Boys reside within the US state. Even if there are US officials whose values align closely with those chuds.
The comment I replied to was wrong about both who was speaking and what they were saying.
Is there some way that 'The state of Israel is advertising property for sale in Lebanon' is a true statement?
Oh wow...
I really didn't think you'd just outright say you think trump is innocent in regards to his supporters attempting a coup
But that still doesn't change that you made one assumption about what "they" meant. And ignored the other possibilities.
I don't see that. Perhaps the edit status didn't federate but the earlier commenter's comment says nothing about that guy. Rather the commenter was just saying that Jan 6 was not officially encouraged by the US gov't or someone acting in his or her official capacity. Which may not be true (I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the SC has given that guy immunity for everything on Jan 6 on account of it somehow being part of his "official duties" which means the above would have to be wrong.)
But we can all agree that this guy definitely was associated with 1/6 in is personal capacity as a private person - and the same would be true of "“far right citizens of Israel that agree with their government" and perhaps of Bibi in his personal capacity.
