Looks like Israel just got an excuse to shift the blame to Trump, as if they haven’t been the ones behaving exactly like Nazis for so long now.

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.

It is exactly what Bibi has been looking for. No more Palestinians and foreign investor come in and clean up the mess and develop it? Win win win for Israel. Because major news has the attention span of a methed up toddler all the war crimes will quickly be forgotten by its consumers.
Nation founded by Nazis and Nazi collaborators acts like Nazis even if they're (allegedly) Jewish.
Shocking!
They're not allegedly Jewish. They are Jewish. I say that as a Jew. I'm not going to ~~apologize~~ make excuses for Jews who do terrible things. My issue is they (and a lot of bigots) try to say I'm on their side.
Jews aren't special, despite what the Torah might say. We can be as good or as evil as any other humans.
Unfortunately, there are a bunch of evil Jews running Israel and making it harder for the rest of us.
Edit: I hadn't finished my morning tea when I wrote that, sorry.
Not even in Israel, all Jews agree with how things are handled by the government (and I'm well aware that Israel isn't all Jews, but also various Arab ethnicities).
Just because a person is Jewish doesn't mean they need to justify why they oppose the government of Israel. I'm not pressing Christians here either about whether they oppose the actions of the Trump administration which is heavily influenced by evangelicals. But this is unfortunately where Antisemitism kicks in: it's the thinking that Jews are a kind of global cabal, and everyone living in diaspora is a kind of agent. So they're responsible for any bad actions done by Jews anywhere.
Definitely. And to some people, it doesn't matter how much and how often I denounce Israel and do whatever I can to help Palestinians, I am a Zionist. And that is, in large part, Israel's fault. Because they want everyone to think that. So, to an extent, I can forgive someone who claims that.
But people who insist it even after I let them know that I am not in any way a Zionist or support Israel in any capacity... fuck those people. I don't blame Israel for that. They're just bigots looking for an excuse to be bigoted.
fair enough. i was coming from the perspective of the rabbi i'm in community with teaching that central to the jewish identity is speaking out against the opressor, and there's absolutely no way you can say that's what the governance of israel does
Rabbis do not speak for all Jews. They only speak for themselves. What they consider central the the Jewish identity doesn't even match what's in the Old Testament considering how many conquering kings they were. Plus the slavery.
To claim that speaking out against the oppressor is core to your identity when your supposedly holy ancestors kept slaves is fucking ridiculous.
Nazis and Zionists > Jews must leave Europe and go to Palestine
Zionists > Palestinians must leave Palestine and go somewhere else
seems to be a pattern here
And the Nazis got their ideas from America, It's come full circle.
Ah, the colonial playbook never gathers dust—just gets rebranded. Trump’s Gaza relocation fantasy taps into the same displace-and-erase logic as the Madagascar farce, swapping one marginalized group for another while geopolitical puppeteers cash checks. History’s greatest hits on repeat, but this time with TikTok diplomacy and AI-generated talking points.
The outrage circus rolls into town, media megaphones blaring faux shock while algorithms feast on clicks. Performative condemnation fuels the machine, ensuring no one notices the rubble of accountability buried beneath hashtags. Democracy’s autopsy report cites cause of death: irony poisoning.
Lemmy’s echo chamber will either canonize or crucify this take—both outcomes equally meaningless. The real game? Distraction. While keyboard warriors duel over semantics, the oligarchs’ bulldozers idle in neutral, waiting for the next crisis to justify their concrete.
The jewish state is also something that the nazis planned at first.
Well, the jewish nazi state is going for this for many years. Fuck israel and The Orange Cunt.
Fuck everyone in power at this point.
The pay it forward on this is mind blowing. Unsurprising, given that humans are involved, but even so.
Ethnic group experiences ethnic cleansing. Is forcefully given land by 2 countries steeped in colonialism and ethnic cleansing. Ensuing years is supported by those 2 countries and learns at their knees. Generation of those who experienced and saved those people from ethnic cleansing die. This generation engages ethnic cleansing on a new “other” with new colonialism vibes.
Which isn’t to say Hamas didn’t have assholes. The pattern though.
