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.
-
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.

Hamas is an Insurgency Movement against a foreign invader, and has nothing to do with religion except in the Propaganda discourse of that very same foreign invader - Israel - which being deeply racist and commiting their murders mainly along etnic lines, uses racism in the West against Muslims to try and garner public support for their mass murder of Palestinians (not even Hamas, Palestinians) and has for a long time also used racism in the West to get support for themselves (the "unwavering support [of] the Jewish Nation" - emphasy mine - by Germany is a perfect example of that leveraging of racist thinking and race-related discrimination in a Western nation to obtain such levels of priviledged treatment that even Genocide is excused).
Outside the Israeli Propaganda, Hamas are as much related to religion as the Résistance Française was.
PS: This doesn't mean I agree with some of Hamas' methods, by the way. However, that doesn't change the reality that their entire reason to be is that of an Insurgent Movement.
From Wikipedia:
Right, and the NAZI party was the National-Socialist Party Of The German Worker (whilst being anti-Socialist) and the Democratic Republic Of Korea is the northern one and a dictatorship, just to name two big examples of the name meaning nothing at all.
That "argument" of your is not exactly solid.
Some Hamas leader: "We are an Islamic resistance movement" (although there seem to be worse ones around)
Apparently they like islamic dress codes, going so far as to patrolling beaches to enforce them
They don't like music and dance either
Please point to any source (not obviously islamic propaganda) of Hamas not being an islamic organization. I'm not saying it's what makes them the bad guys, just that it's dishonest to say they have "nothing to do with religion"
Me neither. Am i hamas now?
Let's not kid ourselves. From Israel being created, to all the two state solutions falling through, to all the terrorists attacks and assassinations that have happened was fueled by religion.
Religion created the deep divide between these two groups and caused the modern day situation.
