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.

I want to see the whole cabinet of Israel charged with war crimes. This isanity of the highest degree. I have no sympathy gor Hamas but this has gone way to far.
Not even a little? I recognise that many of their actions are clearly immoral or inhumane but I’m not self righteous enough to know I wouldn’t do the same if everyone I know was murdered, tortured, raped and starved by Israel.
“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum,” Guterres said at a UN Security Council meeting on the Israel-Hamas war
Yes, Israel obviously is and always has been the aggressor in this conflict. They are also the much more evil side. Doesn’t mean Hamas is incapable of also committing war crimes
You could take everything from me and I wouldn't start carpet bombing children. Fuck Isreal.
Every single israeli prime minister should have been. It always been too far. There is 77 of israeli abuses
Is Hamas even still a thing? Like as far as I can tell from my armchair halfway around the world they're basically all dead. It seems to me like Hamas has been thoroughly defeated. Gaza is a wasteland and at this point I would be surprised if Hamas could muster up any type of action.
Does it really matter? Israel had the sympathy of the world after Oct. 7 and they threw it all away with their genocidal response. They've created infinitely more enemies than they've killed, and it doesn't matter if these enemies are called Hamas. Israel has guaranteed decades more violence be directed their way by whole new generations.
It's almost better to pull a doctor Bashir and just surrender. Let them relocate you and then try to survive. Is that better than just dying for nothing? You might say no because its your homeland, but at least your PEOPLE will survive?
It's a crazy situation without a good solution. I mean, other than Iseral laying the fuck off.
how does an 11 year old surrender? walk up to a border crossing and say "please relocate me" and hope they don't rifle butt her head?
At this rate, there won't be anyone left to surrender
I know we're probably in agreement, but this is probably suicide. I think they pretty much shoot anyone near those border crossing/checkpoints that they aren't pre-notified on.
There are plenty of good solutions with the best one being international intervention. Letting the Likud party get away with genocide is not one of those options like you have implied it to be.
Right, it's a world problem, and who has stepped up? Who will the world abandoned next?
You're a horrible person or a bot
Fuck off
They’re not dying for nothing. The state of Israel in its current form will not survive this war.
current form
Right, because they'll have a new form that includes the West Bank and a chunk of Syria.
Israel doesn't want to relocate Palestinians, they want to kill them, while actively preventing them from relocating.
You'd say the same to ucranians? Or you think only brown palestinian people don't deserve to have their homeland?
The question is getting wiped off the planet or relocated. Of course they have a right to their homeland. But obviously a force is about to kill them all. So do they live or die off completely? What would you choose?
Millions on indian died for freedom and decolonization
it is targeted killing ...
May all of Gaza's innocent victims collect their entire spiritual energy from the beyond and curse the lives of every Israeli soldier who participated in this genocide for all eternity. Including Netanyahu's direct family.
Every country in that region sucks. Especially Iraq through Afghanistan. Let them kill each other off.
The Americans who show support for Palestine would get their heads chopped off if they visited that place. It's a bit ironic to support a country that hates Americans.
It's alright, anything to root against the Jews, who were actually involved in a genocide. And fairly recently. 6 million Jews. And people wonder why they're so defensive against attacks.
The same WW2 vets that fought the actual Nazis are getting booed today. From the few videos I've seen, I hope that's a minority of shitbags.
Hamas isn't our friend. You can't ignore Oct 7th, that was shitty in and of itself no matter if Israel provoked it or not. Israel is an ally. Palestine is not.
Fuck the people whose rooting against Israel just because Trump supports them.
I'm not here to start any fights. I've been to that region, and they really don't want any interference from the west. Especially after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
"Let them kill each other off" is a cold way to talk about a conflict where one side is a nuclear-armed state backed by the West, and the other is a stateless people under occupation. This isn’t a fair fight—it’s a military superpower bombing refugee camps, hospitals, and UN schools while starving 2 million civilians.
You claim Palestinians would "chop heads off" Americans, but the U.S. has armed Israel for decades while it bulldozes homes, steals land, and locks millions in an open-air prison. If Palestinians hate American policy, can you blame them? Meanwhile, Israel gets billions in U.S. weapons while its politicians call for the "flattening of Gaza." Who’s really the ally here?
Yes, Hamas is brutal—but they didn’t appear out of nowhere. Decades of occupation, blockade, and apartheid radicalized people. That doesn’t justify Oct. 7, but ignoring the context is dishonest. Collective punishment—starving kids, bombing families—only creates more extremism.
And spare me the Holocaust guilt-tripping. Using Jewish suffering to justify Palestinian suffering is grotesque. Many Holocaust survivors, like those in Jewish Voice for Peace, opposed Zionism. Israel’s government includes far-right ministers who praise settlers burning Palestinian villages—are they "defending Jews" or fueling genocide?
The West props up Israel while pretending to care about "human rights." If you’ve really been to the region, you’d know: this isn’t about "rooting for Jews or Arabs." It’s about ending occupation, apartheid, and Western hypocrisy.
