Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

French President Emmanuel Macron says Iran bore a heavy responsibility for destabilisation in the Middle East and that it had pushed ahead with an unjustified nuclear programme, but he also urged restraint after Israel struck Iran.

Macron, speaking at a news conference, said he regretted that Iran had not taken up the overtures by the United States to find a diplomatic solution to its nuclear programme and hoped that these talks could resume.

Our leaders are a bunch of spineless bastards. And it's going to get worse

They're not spineless at all. You're overlooking this is by design. I just watched a fantastic video about it:

Fucking hypocrites. Every single western leader who allows this is complicit.

For fucks sake, we live here and they accelerate the middle east's destruction for greedy purposes? I wish them nothing but the worst.

He criticizes Iran but is too meek on Israel. Macron is a certified clown.

I thought France would be alone on this but apparently the UK, Canada, and Czechia also made statements referring to Israel's "right to defend itself."

And if you dont agree loudly enough; theyll defend themselves from you too.

Most of Europe's leadership is pretty complicit in this all. I think we need to get Spain and Ireland to judge them at the Hague.

Norway needs to hold France accountable too.

Most Israelis are from Europe, and most European governments are paid off to be zionists. Of course they'd be in it together.

Hey Iran, sorry, I am pretty disappointed in you. Like.. REALLY disappointed you.

Just because our daddy blew up your garage and killed a couple of your kids doesn't mean it was ok for you to throw molotov cocktails at our second house, we WERE going to have a stern conversation with daddy we swear and now look YOU ruined everything.

signed,

cowardly leaders of the western world
