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.
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.

alarabiya.net is a questionable source known to push Saudi propaganda. The story is quite likely true, it definitely SOUNDS true, but we need a better source than this.
Why else would they be dressed that way? /s
Lebanon was mostly christian before Israel.
The earth was mostly pagan first so it belongs to them.
What he means is israel who claim to protect christians is a source of the reduction of chritian population in Lebanon
I know.
I don't understand your point then
There was none.
Most blatant pro colonial justification possible.
They now they can get away with everything
Oh like how Russians overran Crimea and then asked Putin to annex it. Sure. Sure sure sure.
No shit, if the only other option is being bombed into oblivion they'll agree to whatever is not that.
It is simply Netenyahu lying to prepare for the colonization of Lebanon
It doesn’t matter if another village in another country asks. They are part of a sovereign country!
Yeah, because they'd thrive SO much in a Jewish supremacist apartheid system 🙄
Fuck off.
Why should a Christian village ask Israels Hitler for help?
So did the Palestinians, I bet /s
Bibi is not as fat as Trump, but he's still a big fat liar here.
Lying about christians wanting iarael to annex them but being honest about wanting to colonize lebanon
I hate Netanyahu as much as the next person, but I sadly believe this. When the invasion of Lebanon started I contacted a friend of mine who is Lebanese (Christian) but doesn't live there. I wanted to let him know I was thinking of him and his family "back home". I don't recall his exact response but it was something along the lines of "yes, it's tough now but it's for the best".
Edit - I'm curious about the downvotes. Do you think I'm some sort of Zionist stooge trying to defend it?
As with every population, nobody is a monolith. I spoke to a Lebanese Christian colleague of mine and he's at the other end of the spectrum.
Of course. I was just blown away by his response, and this article reminded me of it so I shared.
