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.

How is from the river to the sea antisemitic?
It's not, Palestinians are Semitic. Zionists have conflated anti zionism with being antisemitic. Fuck Zionists
Though 'antisemitism' could be construed as prejudice against people who speak other Semitic languages, this is not how the term is commonly used...
Because Zionists have tried to claim the word as their own
Because it implies that there is no Israel in between.
No Israel or Israeli apartheid, but why conflate that with not letting Jewish people be there?
Because Jews like to live in Israel? A state granted by the U.N after all the atrocities done to the jewish people...and when groups like Hamas use that term they sure as hell don't want any Jews to live there because you know they're fucking degenerates who want to wipe out jews.
You might want to recheck your history if you think the UN simply granted Jewish people a bunch of Mandatory Palestine because they were sorry about the Holocaust

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Partition_Plan_for_Palestine
Thats what the U.N is for right, to handle very controverse topics and to find a solution for them. Sorry for the participants of the middle east but thats how a vote works, even if the outcome is not what you expected, but thats democracy.
Jewish belief prohibits the existence of a Jewish state. It wasn't UN land to give away.
Because like the swastika which went from a cultural Eurasian symbol to what is obviously now a Nazi sign, the "from the river to the sea" is mostly code correlated with antisemitic acts like in the linked article. As you can notice also, Hamas is proudly using the slogan while having called for the complete destruction of Israel in their founding charter while Fatah dropped it altogether.
In 1966, Hafez El-Assad said: "We shall never call for, nor accept peace. We shall only accept war and the restoration of the usurped land. We have resolved to drench this land with our blood, to oust you, aggressors, and throw you into the sea for good."
(https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/opinions/1994/10/09/the-mind-of-hafez-assad/0be81ae7-2a5a-4e04-bb62-3e527318e317/ )
and that's roughly the period where the slogan came to be.
Saying that “from the river to the sea” is antisemitic because a hateful person used some of those words against Israel in the 90’s is tenuous and manufacturing consent. People who want Palestinian self-determination and an end the Israeli apartheid regime are not wild-eyed terrorists who want to wipe out Jewish people. You’re making it look like that.
But Hamas are terrorists who want to wipe out jewish people...
Hamas ≠ everyone against Israeli apartheid.
Also, if you have a problem with Hamas, then bring it up with Netanyahu. He’s been their biggest booster.
Still they have a fuck ton of supporters...and no their biggest supporters would be the Iran or some religious fucks in Quatar who share their kill all Jews goal.
