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.

You can at least make it harder. The idea of "They'll do it anyway so might as well", aside from being dubious at best, doesn't help anyone.
They're already doing that. 13 employees were caught and they were fired (the ones who aren't dead anyway).
The double standard of expecting perfection from Palestinians while Israel is subjecting them to Apartheid and committing genocide won't do anything to help end the conflict. Don't want people glorifying terror? Stop funding the environment where terror seems like a legitimate means of resistance. Until that happens criticism of Palestinian textbooks is both missing the elephant in the room and very tone deaf.
And Poland did so. Different actors require different approaches to influence is all I'm saying. Have you actually read the whole of my comment.
Poland did one thing. On the other hand Israel has preferential economic deals with the EU and are having the US, UK and Germany defend their genocide on the international stage. Props to Poland, but a lot more needs to be done.
The EU is funding Palestine, much to the chagrin of the Israeli right-wing -- but they can't go full on "the EU is our enemy" mode because the EU does not blindly antagonise Israel. And then, in practice, boycotts products produced in settlements (they have to be labelled such, no "made in Israel", and noone is buying settlement products).
It's much easier to influence people when you have both a stick and a carrot. And when it comes to funding that can only ever be a carrot in Israel's case as they have enough resources to do without, while in Palestine you can use it as both stick and carrot.
The situation over here is vastly more complex and most of all the policies much more deliberate than what you hear out of the US, "evangelicals believe that Israel is important for the rupture thus they ship weapons without regards to pretty much anything".
Okay this actually makes a lot of sense. I still believe it's tone-deaf to expect Palestinians to go all peace and love when Israel is like... that, but this explains why the EU isn't as tough on Israel as it could be.
