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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Brother, don't mix up zionism and judaism, that's really antisemitic.
Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement to establish and support a Jewish homeland through colonization in the region of Palestine. Most zionists are Christians in Europe and the USA.
So saying “don’t confuse Zionism with Judaism” is correct, but only whenwe also acknowledge that Zionism itself isn’t monolithic and doesn’t map perfectly onto any single religious or political identity.
Some Zionists will support a two-state solution, others might support a Jewish-nation-state and others a more secular(culturally Jewish) nation. Some Israelis and Jews are anti-Zionist. And some people are zionists while abhoring what's happening in Palestine and don't hesitate to sharply condemn Israel's actions.
But I used it in quotes for that very reason. Some people bitching and whining about Zionists seem rather antisemitic. That was the point. Anti-zionism, for some, is just antisemitism with a new label.
Brother, you implicated that all jews are zionists, by saying that we "pick the abrahamic religion with the fewest adherents and least blood on their hands, and call them nazis".
Also,and that's just meant as a side note, the two state solution is no solution. Look at the USA, and how the reservations work out, because that's where this idea is originating from.
You say colonialism I say darwinism.
You say racist angry antisemitic crap. Then project it. Hilarious.
I didn’t implicate that all Jews are Zionists. In fact, I explicitly said the opposite!
Again. Zionism isn’t monolithic and some Jews and Israelis are anti-Zionist. So that accusation doesn’t really land.
On the “white colonial ideology” point: the demographics don’t support that framing as a universal description. A large share of Jewish citizens are of Middle Eastern and North African descent (Mizrahi/Sephardi), many of whose families were expelled or fled from surrounding countries in the 20th century.
Calling the entire population “white European colonists” erases that history.
It’s also not accurate to say Zionism inherently means removing every non-Jew. There are forms of Zionism that envision a Jewish-majority state alongside full civil rights for minorities, and about 20% of Israeli citizens today are Arab. So that's the reality.
You can oppose Israeli policies or nationalist models without redefining the ideology into its most extreme version and treating that as the only one.
On the two-state comparison to reservations... that analogy assumes one side would have total dominance over the other in perpetuity. Whether someone supports or opposes two states, the proposal in international diplomacy has generally been two sovereign states, not a reservation system.
You can argue it’s unworkable, but it’s not historically accurate to say it “originates” from U.S. reservations.
If the argument is that nationalism tied to ethnicity or religion is morally wrong, that’s a coherent position, and I agree, but then the critique should be applied consistently to many nation-states around the world, not uniquely framed around Jews or "Zionists."
And again I'm using quotations around "Zionist" cuz that's the term you originally used. But that's not what you really mean. We all know what you really mean and has nothing to do with quote-unquote "Zionism."
You played it all pretty clear, "death to white jews." Right? Because I have very good reading comprehension. And that's exactly what you're supporting.
Ok, I don't need to read more to know that you're either stupid (white supremacist) or trolling.
Have the day you deserve.
Found the evolution denialist.
Enjoy that young Earth creation, fam.
Lulz
I'm not a supremacist of any kind and I'm not trolling. You obviously just need to learn to read and comprehend what you're actually reading.
I can explain things to you. I can't understand them for you!
What are you talking about? No, no Zionist wants a two state solution, that's the opposite of what Zionism is
Cool. Tell me more about stuff you know nothing about. /S
