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.

I've been generally supportive of Israel's actions, but I can also openly state that there is a wing of the Israeli government that has no real desire for actual peace and that needs to be thoroughly excised once the war is over if there's to be any hope of making some progress towards peace.
That said, reading the article, this seems like an asshole attempting to make a crude joke more than an actual legal threat. What he actually said wasn't "If you protest the war, I will forcibly send you to Gaza", it was "If you like Gaza so much, I'll gladly help you get there by offering a bus".
That “wing” has been running the show for 80 years.
There will never be peace until Israel abandons its apartheid policies.
That is patently false. There was a major turning point in 1977 when Likud gained power for the first time. There are major Israeli parties that oppose any future expansion of Israel or further settlements, Labour being the most prominent. It was under Labour PM Ehud Barak that Israel voluntarily withdrew from southern Lebanon after 22 years of occupation. Ariel Sharon left Likud after withdrawing from Gaza in 2005. His successor, Ehud Olmert, intended to unilaterally withdraw from the West Bank until the 2006 Lebanon War dramatically re-aligned the domestic politics, with the Israeli right pushing a narrative that each withdrawal Israel did just led to more attacks.
Israeli politics is much much messier than what you think.
There are voices in opposition, but it hasn't turned into justice for Palestinians.
You dont get to be a senior police officer and "joke" about rounding up political disenters and shipping them off to be bombed by the military. That is mask off facsism.
in the us such comments, unfortunately, actually end up with some fool doing it.
