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.

Summary

Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai condemned the Taliban’s treatment of women at a Pakistan summit on girls’ education in Muslim communities, stating, "The Taliban do not see women as human beings."

She criticized their policies banning Afghan girls from education and work as "gender apartheid" and un-Islamic.

Afghanistan is the only country banning education for girls beyond grade six, affecting 1.5 million girls.

Malala urged Muslim leaders to challenge these practices and advocate for girls' education globally.

The Taliban declined to attend or comment.

Alright, I'll agree that Israel is not the Jewish state. My understanding of "Zionism" is that it attempts to establish one, though, is that true? As in, Israel does want to be a Jewish ethnostate? We agree it is not representative of all Jews, 100% agreement there. It may still want that, no? I'm not sure what a Jewish state even is, I'm not at all familiar with the customs. So is Israel actually wanting to be Jewish in its government (again, I don't know it well), or is that just a claim that Hamas is saying? I don't actually associate Israel with Jewish sentiment mind you, never have never will. I'm just confused as to what even is the Zionism that Hamas hates

I don’t actually associate Israel with Jewish sentiment mind you, never have never will.

You've LITERALLY been doing that this entire time. For example-

If it is Zionist, it would be a Jewish state.

No it would not. It would be a Zionist state.

This is the last time you get to be told Zionism and Judaism are in no way the same thing.

I have been more than lenient with you and I am very tired of you expecting the JEW WHO IS NOT AN ISRAELI to explain what ISRAEL and HAMAS thinks as if I have some sort inside knowledge... AS IF I WERE A FUCKING ISRAELI.

I'm so confused... I'm just trying to understand what Zionism is here... it's a colonial project to bring about a Jewish state according to Wikipedia. I understand, could be lying. I have in Israeli friend and a Turkish friend I'll get their opinion on, but from what I am getting is that you disagree with the claim of the wiki article?
