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.

Israeli officials have signaled they do not intend to relinquish this territory. These areas, where the military has deployed, are considered “no-go zones” and Palestinians risk being shot if they approach.
Fascists gonna fash!
So is this like .. concentrating.. the people into a smaller area, like uh .. camp?
This is closer to just standard imperialism, which Hitler also did. Evil? Yes, but a different kind of evil.
Also I think Israel literally has a concentration camp, so if you want to make that comparison, it's right there.
Imperialism is horribly evil and it deserves to be called out by name. A part of the imperialist process is genocide, which is what we're seeing here.
This is more like American style genocidal manifest destiny or Nazi lebensraum.
The closest examples I can think of in recent history is the Vietnam war or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But yeah, American style imperialism is what I equate this to.
Netanyahu might as well be Dick Cheney.
Dick Cheney and Andrew Jackson
Imperialism never had genocide as a main part of the process...
Maybe colonialism is the word I'm thinking of?
The one that involves forcibly taking land and mass murder, like what the settlers of America did to the Native American population.
It basically already was, they're just making it smaller.
Hitler would be proud.
they're setting up several Bantustan-like areas just like they did on the West Bank
Just like they did to all of Palestine.
oh shit they're west banking gaza now
Been happening. Libs just noticed with the change of figurehead.
Evergreen headline.
Israel being Israel. They've been doing this since their inception. We need strong international sanctions against Israel. We need to stop this slow moving genocide.
And against the US too honestly. I say this as a US citizen. Sanction us until we stop bombing Yemen and supplying arms.
It's not slow moving anymore; you're looking at a full-blown genocide here.
It has been since Oct '23.
We're looking at children death camps at this point
I hate this so much, helplessly watching a people getting destroyed in real time.
And even worse, our own governments supporting it and making us complicit
Fuck Israel.
"Israel resets artillery target area in Gaza" will be tomorrow's headline.
Bibi borrows a sharpie from the Con-Mander-In-Chief!
Fuck this fascist bullshit
