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.
-
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.

That’s how states and power work, yes. Most places people live and states exist now were inhabitated by others before.
Saying “Isntreal”, “Zionist entity”, or whatever is denial and lying to yourself.
What do you think about the 800,000 Jews that had to flee from Arab and Muslim countries after Israel was established? Do they deserve to return and get their lost property back?
What other historical injustices do you want to roll back? Millions of Germans lost their homes and land at the end of WW2. Should India and Pakistan be united again and millions moved?
Sure you can play into the Palestinian dream of a Jew free Palestine and violence as the way to achieve it. That way has only lead to Palestinians losing war after war over and over.
Obviously the Jews in Baghdad deserved to be ethnically cleansed because some Jews elsewhere were refusing to be pushed into the Mediterranean. It’s just very convenient that it’s always the Jews’ fault.
India and Pakistan is just another example of a population exchange with a large number of refugees happening around the same time as Israel’s independence. As you well observed, it’s not a good idea to try and reverse history in that case. However for Israel and Palestinians going back to a historically unstable state is somehow desirable according to you.
Both Palestinians and the Jewish people have a right to self determination. They claim some of the same land, so a compromise has to be found. Delegitimization of Israel only acknowledges one side and fuels this long lasting conflict.
I claim your land. Now get into the basement.
You and what army?
Interesting that. A person, especially a violent one cannot hide their nature for too long. I hope you receive the kind of justice you believe in some day.
I never talked about justice. The obsession with “justice” (destroy Israel) in this case only leads to more violence and suffering.
Making peace with your enemy and finding coexistence and reconciliation is the better goal.
