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.

to say that some politicians sided with the british/allies is to completely sweep under the rug how massively one sided arab support was, and honestly, remains to this day, in favor of the nazis.
you need go no further in your explanation, because that right there, shows me you are not debating in good faith.
I will add though, the Jews that were in the region prior to 1948, were there legally. They did not steal their land. It was obtained legally and not through forceful colonization. But there is a long ass history of violence and hate toward jews, well before 1948... and really long even before the 1900s. The jews had to pay a special tax just for being jewish in the ottoman empire. In 1937 the arabs were offered the clear majority of the region -- they rejected it because they simply did not want jews in the region. Period. They wanted all of the land. After that, they allied themselves with the nazis. In 1948 they were offered 45% of the land, and damn thats fucking generous considering they had just allied themselves with hitler.
And if there are any questions as to why the jews wanted their own state, look up stuff like the Hebron Massacre, or the Nebi Musa riots. In 1947 there were many instances of violence targeting jews. Violence toward jews was widespread and intense in the region. The war of independence was a reaction to this.
Jordan sided with the allies , Egypt sided with the allies ,Iraq sided with the allies expect a very short time where Rashid Ali al-Gaylani took control, all the Arab speaking countries except Libya sided with the allies. 12k to 19k Palestinians volunteered to fight the Nazis while there is no data about Palestinians soldiers siding with the axis.
Get your evil propaganda out of lemmy

and Hajj Amin al-Husseini sided with hitler. The most prominant arab leader in mandatory palastine.
this comes off like people saying Gazans don't support hamas. Yet, when on oct 7 they paraded jewish hostages through the streets, huge numbers of civilians were shown cheering them on.
Still most leaders sided with the allies like i already mentioned you won't be able to deflect from this
Israel and Zionists committed dozens of 7 of October like events in the past like the Ibrahimi Mosque massacre . Israelis been saying death to Arabs every years

Go back to reddit. Your propaganda won't pass here
and to the mod who removed my post for misinfo, yeah this post
This is not misinfo. Your aljazeera source with hamas sourced numbers is the misinfo. really gotta stop sourcing numbers from the hamas run palistinian ministry of health. and yes, the palistinian central bureau of statistics sourced numbers from the ministry of health, says it right in the article.
my source for the ministry of health being unreliable: https://henryjacksonsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/HJS-Questionable-Counting-%E2%80%93-Hamas-Report-web-v2.pdf
i get that you don’t like what i’m saying but i’m not the one ignoring facts here.
Hamas is not only its armed wing. It is the entire government in Gaza. Its numbers have historically been considered reliable by the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and Human Rights Watch. In relation to the Gaza war, two letters published in The Lancet journal did not find evidence of inflation or fabrication of Palestinian casualty numbers. There is no reason to cast doubt on their estimates than to deny that Israel is committing a genocide.
This is your source?? A fucking British soldier that has made a living occupying Ireland and running around shooting at Arabs????? Writing at the behest of a right wing think tank??????????
The rest of this is racist Zionist slop that I shouldn't even justify with a response, because even if it was a completely honest portrayal it would not justify genocide, but to start; Palestinians cannot be held responsible for actions that other arab nations took after 1948 (in response to the horrific acts committed during the nakba, but that nonetheless does not justify it) or the antisemitism that was in large part purposefully fomented in those nations by Israel to advance the Zionist mission. The intention of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine has been made clear since Zionism first emerged in the late 19th century. The mass transfer of Jews to historic palestine and the ensuing displacement of Palestinians started before even 1933, which is when the Haavara agreement was signed between Nazis and Zionist collaborators. It has never been about "self defense" and that is a fucking shameful way to justify the violent expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from their home land.
Back at you.
Get the fuck out of here you disgusting fucking Zionist.
the bias is strong with this one.
Yes, I am proudly biased against groups that commit genocide before our eyes and deny it, dispossess indigenous peoples of their ancestral homes and turn them into refugees in foreign lands, along with fascist ideologies which call for the establishment and maintenance of an ethnostate and sheepishly justify Nazi collaboration and ethnic cleansing as a means to that end. Stay as mad at that as you like and have the day you deserve.
