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.

Yeah, but he's still being accused of shit by Israel for saying it...
Hell, there was a orthodox (very conservative) rabbi that had to flee his home in Israel, because he said the dead Innocents on both sides should be mourned.
Right wing Israelis showed up outside his house, and started throwing "fireworks" into his house in an attempt to burn him and his family alive for it. He ended up having to flee Israel because cops and the IDF wouldn't do anything to keep the mobs away
He spoke out against Israels government, so Israels government wouldn't do anything to protect him or his children.
It's like KKK, yeah., they hated certain races/religions/sexualities, but there's nothing they hated more than a straight white Christian who said they were going to far.
Above all else racists absolutely despise someone of their own race who pushes for bare minimum equality.
I don't know if you're thinking of someone else who experienced something similar, but it sounds like you might be describing Israel Frey. I don't think he's a rabbi, I think he's a journalist.
But yeah, folks should look him up. Last i heard, he was in hiding.
Also, it's indisputable that Israeli settlers are committing acts of terrorism. If one wants to argue that the IDF is committing terrorism, I'd agree with that too, but one cannot say that Israel is not committing terrorism when folks in balaclavas in pickup trucks are breaking into homes in villages and smashing everything and telling the families living there to move out the next day or be killed. And soldiers have been caught participating.
It's even worse. If the owners of these homes defend themselves, the IDF steps in... to defend the settlers.
And this is the big thing that people who say Israel is united in their attack overlook, all the moderates in the country are afraid to speak out. The Pope was right, they literally are a terrorist nation at this point.
The term the racists use for other members of their race who disagree with them is race betrayer. At least I've been called that by neonazis when arguing with them.
