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. 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 (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
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.

How blinkered do you have to be to see the Hamas attacks on October 7 as akin to the Holocaust, but not see that your own determination to wipe out the entire people of Gaza resembles the genocidal intent behind the Holocaust?
Well how nice that this now makes it different 😊 /s
It does make a difference. It's important context.
You can still denounce it. You can still make holocaust comparisons. But it's important context that shouldn't be left out. Because you're perfectly aware of the implication otherwise.
Yeah, I agree, it's good to be accurate. However, I doubt that that was the real intention of @ArtikBanana@lemmy.dbzer0.com. That's the point, hope it's clear now.
They weren't saying this for "accuracy" unfortunately... otherwise no one would have had an issue with it. It's the undertone that stinks.
And the "undertone that stinks" is anything that doesn't agree with your position 100%.
Sure, whatever floats your boat 🙄
You wouldn't respect a holocaust denier, would you? So why would I respect someone like ArtikBanana who is denying another genocide?
The Nazis at first didn't really care whether the Jews were expelled or murdered, they just wanted them eliminated from Germany. Some combination of expelling Jews and encouraging Jewish emigration was the initial plan.
For the life of me I wish I understood why it's so hard for people to see that genociding one group of people is the same as any other group of people and that Never Again is pretty much right now.
Look mate, the Israeli government and a significant proportion of the population (enough that these types were elected) are extreme racists - which is painfully obvious in the historical track record of how the dehumanizing way they referred to Palestinians, especially more recently in things like an Israeli government official openly saying in a press conference that Palestinians are "human animals" - so in their mind Palestinians are not people like Israelis are.
In such a twisted view, it absolutelly is morally acceptable to treat "human animals" quite differently from how you treat "chosen people".
It's the very same "untermenschen" thinking as the Nazis, just with a different target group.
What do YOU think their point is? 🤔
It's all Nazi shit man, stop trying to pretend there's a not-so-bad form that's essential context.
.
The ones who care are those who think ethnic cleansing is somehow less bad than genocide, and they realllllly want to show it for some reason, but not for "accuracy".
I'm saying I don't think that you discuss stuff in good faith.
Antisemite! /s
I believe firmly now that those who don't want anyone to compare anything to the holocaust are the ones that will enable it to be repeated.
Corrections:
He said that Palestinians should be ~~transferred~~ ethnically cleansed/forcefully displaced to the Palestinian ~~camps~~ ghettos (or maybe I don't even need to correct this one lol) in Lebanon first. Before ~~Gaza is flattened~~ their homes, memories, and livelihoods are forever destroyed.
Then what will happen in Gaza when Palestinians will be gone ?
