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.

International views of Israel and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are much more negative than positive, according to a Pew Research Center survey of 24 countries conducted this spring.
Get out of Israel.
The best solution for all parties involved is to relocate Jews from Israel to the United States.
We have plenty of room for them here.
I'm a fifth generation American Jew. My grandfathers killed Nazis by the dozen. We're american as fuck. I love playing guitar to country and classic rock. My parents were both blue collar union. I grew up in a gas station smelling fumes doing homework when my mechanic grandfather picked me up from school covered in grease bc my parents were busy working 5 jobs.
I've always waited with bated breath for the day Nixon's comments about being Jewish before American captivates the poor angry masses again. And we're here. Antisemitic violence in US at 8x YoY. In the back of my head always, if the president blames the Argentines for our economy, they could go back to Argentina. Israel was founded bc millions of people were genocided bc they had no Argentina to go home too.
So.. in practice, I've lived what you say. In theory, this is an unanswered question. And the whole, "the Jews can just go to..." argument falls flat when you look at how every surrounding country has rejected Palestinian refugees and asylum seekers for decades now.
Yes, irony that Israelis genociding Palestinians is my argument philosophically for Jews needing a home. But I figured you were familiar with the topic for context. AND that 20 years later, I'm still an empathetic person who this morning while making my son breakfast, listening to immortal technique, start crying every time I hear him rap "trapped in a ghetto region like a Palestinian kid where nobody gives a fuck whether you die or you live." I've felt for those babies for DECADES while everyone wrote them off as dirty poor brown news headlines.
So I get to teach my kid to stand up for Gaza and little boys and girls just like him that should get to play and dream about their futures and hopes, but also to look out for and fight Nazis at home, while fearing that my neighbors are going to kill him. So it's not so black and white unless you tuned in two years ago and put on the latest pin. Some of us have been and are still outraged about every genocide going on across the globe, but Sudanese, Uyghurs, et al don't have the ear of purported progressives. I literally say sobbing parked in the car listening to news from Sudan two weeks ago on democracy now. THEYRE ROUNDING UP WOMEN AND CHILDREN, and I haven't seen a single fucking headline here.
It's hard not to feel like whites and Christians are using Jews and Muslims for fodder to control oil rich regions. Have you seen the latest Heritage Foundation papers on antisemitism? Project Esther? Literally against tackling supremacy in the US while genociding Palestine.
