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.

Those evil white supremacists Jews got out of their way to save Ethiopian Jews with covert airlifts. There were continuous efforts to bring Ethiopia Jews to Israel, lead by Natanyahu among others.
Sure there’s prejudice around skin color and discrimination, but isn’t this the case all around the world? Ethiopian Israelis have their struggles, but overall their community is doing very well. Bibi Netanyahu has many times publicly denounced racism against Ethiopian Jews and met with victims of violence. Here Bibi celebrates an Ethiopian IDF officer publicly as a hero to standing ovations. There are special scholarships for Ethiopian Jews to higher education and integrate them better into society. The IDF makes an effort in this field as well.
Let’s listen to what Ethiopian Jews have to say about this,

Why do black Palestinians in Gaza mostly live in a quarter named Al Abeed meaning literally slave?
Oh it’s blatant antisemitism time again.
It's not antisemitism, it's anti-Zionism. And accusations of Zionism being fascist aren't new. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun
An extract: 'Albert Einstein, in a letter to The New York Times in 1948, compared Irgun and its successor Herut party to "Nazi and Fascist parties" and described it as a "terrorist, right wing, chauvinist organization".'
But what would a genius German Jew who escaped the Holocaust know about fascism, right?
The Irgun were legit far right terrorists and committed atrocities.
Here’s what Einstein actually said about Zionism.
Albert Einstein was a socialist labor Zionist, which was the mainstream of Zionism back then.
Einstein left Germany in 1932 before the Nazis took power. His nationality was Swiss, not German.
To you Einstein is just a token Jew to use for your campaign of hate. You don’t give an actual shit about him or the Holocaust. They’re only tools to fight against Israel‘s existence. It’s the vile face of contemporary antisemitism.
I don't hate you.
What about identifying the fascist nature of zionism is antisemitic, in your mind?
It’s Holocaust denial.
That's an incredible claim. How is it holocaust denial?
Uhhhhhh no it's not. There is nothing about believing that Israel is committing a genocide against the Palestinian people (they are) that prevents someone from simultaneously believing that the holocaust happened and was just as bad as is commonly understood (it did and it was).
It's like saying that accusing me of being a thief is denying that time I was robbed.
I like that you’re theft and robbery as comparisons, because these have a major difference. Robbery always includes violence or the threat of violence.
You shoplift a candy bar from a Korean owned shop. Your fathers house was burgled by Koreans who killed your mother and stole all jewelry and the car.
Not the same.
Ignoring the fascist nature of Zionism is is ignoring the holocaust that is currently occurring? Fuck out of here.
Nice Holocaust denial you got there. What’s happening in Gaza is terrible but not like Holocaust.
You can't just call everything you disagree with holocaust denial. Doing so is holocaust denial.
The group Israel famously chemicaly castrated.
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-gave-birth-control-to-ethiopian-jews-without-their-consent-8468800.html
Giving someone birth control (depo shot) for a short time so they don’t pregnant during a transitional refugee phase is a sensible precaution. Yes, the women didn’t fully understand what was happening. This was also caused by language and communication barriers.
Calling this chemical castration is outlandish.
The whole story is Antizionist slander.
