    “Violence against civilians will have consequences”. I wish I could believe that. I think most Israeli’s who destroy the lives of Palestinians will enjoy it without consequence.

      A handful of people can’t come to the US (unless they come as part of a UN visit, lol), but we’ll still give you complete and unconditional military support to drive those people from their homes!

    It’s a start I guess? Maybe? I don’t think the people attacking Palestinians care about coming to the US right now.

    I’d prefer to see the US withhold the billions of dollars of monetary aid it gives Israel every year. Maybe give it to Ukraine?

      I am getting a bit tired of the card the Israeli government pulls.

      “No you cannot commit war crimes against civilians because of WW2.”

    What do these people look like?

    For some reason my mind always imagines them as those MineCraft “settlers”

        Demographically, what is the profile of the average “settler”? Are they ultra-orthodox, Herodim or something? I know very little about Israeli domestic stuff

          Some of the settlers move to the occupied territories for religious reasons while others are drawn by a relatively lower cost of living and financial incentives offered by the government. Ultraorthodox Jews form one-third of all settlers.

          From the second article, you should give it a read.

          Yeah that’s the stereotype, that settlers are typically right-wing orthodox types that believe the entire holy land should belong to them. Though, the Al-Jazeera article says Ultra-Orthodox are 1/3 of settlers and many others are there for religious or financial reasons.

            1/3 is still a large proportion, considering that orthodox jews made up only 13% of Isreal.

        Warning: both sources are extremely biased against Israel. Take information read from them with a grain of salt. Better yet, verify the information against credible sources.

          Didn’t Israel kill the family of an Al Jazeera journalist covering in Palestine? I’d have a bias against Israel too after that

            After, before, since they’re inception. AJ always had a bias against Israel. The Arabic version is much much worse than the English version as well.

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. 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.
