A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

You know in a few decades everyone's going to agree the current Israeli government are no better than Nazis. It's frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it's not too late to do something about it.
You know in a few decades everyone’s going to agree the current Israeli government are no better than Nazis.
I just hope in a few decades everyone still agrees that Nazis are actually the bad guys.
"Everyone" doesn't even agree or believe in that now already, and it's been going on for years.
That ship has sailed, I'm afraid.
I used to wonder how the Holocaust could ever happen, but in my thirties (~the last decade) I gained a much better understanding of politics... and now I know how - and I can plainly see it - but I still don't fully understand the human psyche and how it can become so depraved.
Auschwitz and Gaza mean the same for a lot of people now, no matter how much Israel tries to deny this.
Just to play devil’s advocate, how does helping benefit the powerful people?
Ask Trump
AIPAC is Isreals slush fund for influencing US Politics. Israel also has surveillance tech and for profit prison solutions as major exports to places like the USA. They additionally have strong economic and political ties to Russia via the Roman Abromovich steel empire.
According to the Biden Admin, Netanyahu intentionally avoided signing any new ceasefires until after the election to help Trump's campaign. Netanyahu also directly endorsed Trump.
If there were a "God", this wall would have exploded on contact with Mango Musolini
My question was directed at this statement:
It's frustrating that too many powerful people are still holding out while it's not too late to do something about it.
I’m implying that the powerful do nothing to help the Palestinians because they have nothing to gain out of it. Just like all the other countries with starving people and wars going on that don’t get much coverage. They will suffer and die because the powerful people have decided they are not worth saving.
Fuck Israel lol
The Jews in the Ghettos famously starved because Jewish gangs ran rampant. /Ssssssss
In oldschool bullying terms "Why are you hitting yourself? Why?..... Why?..... Why?" With adequate control of the media, the Isreali population will largely be as the German population of the 1940s. Should we worry that the US is rushing towards the same?
Okay, and the Irish caused the starvation during the potato famine?
