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.

What's the religious reason people hate them?
They believe in a different version of the magic sky daddy.
But theirs was the original. All of the Abrahamic religions are their religion.
It is varied and complicated throughout history-
Pre-Christian anti-Judaism in Ancient Greece and Rome which was primarily ethnic in nature
Christian antisemitism in antiquity and the Middle Ages which was religious in nature and has extended into modern times
Muslim antisemitism which was—at least in its classical form—nuanced, in that Jews were a protected class
Political, social and economic antisemitism during the Enlightenment and post-Enlightenment Europe which laid the groundwork for racial antisemitism
Racial antisemitism that arose in the 19th century and culminated in Nazism
Contemporary antisemitism which has been labeled by some as the new antisemitism
Christians have some historical antisemitism because the Jews are blamed for crucifying Jesus.
Muslims i have less knowledge, but i know in modern times they hate the founding of Israel among other reasons pertaining to “conflicting sky daddy”
Also for some other context, many practicing Jews kept traditions that made them stand out in the past. Leading to negative (and often false) stereotypes.
Lastly, it doesn't help that they proclaim themselves God’s chosen people in the eyes of outsiders.
Edit: corrected mistake
With respect to the Christian and Muslim antisemitism:
Christianity largely made up the crucifixion... In many capacities. But, if we take the story at face value, it would be the Romans who did it because... the Romans crucified a LOT of people.
Much of the hatred from Christianity is rooted in Judaism not banning money lending. So combine that with a lot of Christians excluding them from other professions and you had a LOT of Jewish bankers (which continues to this day with the idea that "Jews are good with money" and "Jews are great lawyers" and so forth).
But when the time came to need some extra cash to fund a Crusade or just pay for some more jewels? Suddenly the Christians (and Catholics) had a really nice and really juicy target that they could attack and rob (which is also where a lot of the Nazi targeting of Jews came from).
As for Islam? A lot of the above coupled with the Jewish people not having multiple Crusades/Jihads worth of soldiers to back up their claims to territories... so lesson learned on that front I guess.
But "the Jews were responsible for crucifying Jesus" is a complete load of nonsense. And is a long standing source of dog whistles and antisemitic hate.
Nice info. I couldn't remember the details about the connection with money lending and banking, but I was trying to refer to it with the stereotypes and standing out.
Also, you are right and i edited my comment about Jews being responsible for crucifying Jesus because it is something i was taught and i know people believe it, but I am not trying to spread that information as fact.
Jews are one of the least religious ethnic groups worldwide (something like 75% are agnostic or atheist iirc) though
"Your people killed Jesus."
But wasn't it the Romans who did that?
Yes, but it's been a long-standing precedent to blame the Jews anyway.
Why though? Why perpetuate such an obvious lie?
If u believe the Bible it's not a lie. The Jews could have saved Jesus. They chose barrabus instead iirc.
I don't have the answer to that one. Maybe the same reason that lies like 'Asian men have small penises' and 'all black people are good dancers' perpetuate. It sounds good to a bigot and they just assume it's true.
That tells me there's some other undelying reason for the bigotry.
I've felt this for a long time, but the more I watch politics play out, the more justified I feel it is: I think bigotry is a kind of mental illness, a severe one, and it might be connected with other conditions that case paranoia and manic episodes like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
It's the only way it makes any sense.
