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.
-
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.

Germany arguably has good reason for a bad reason with horrific execution if that makes sense.
Given the history with Judaism they're overcorrecting and I think we can all kind of get that, it doesn't really make it right or ok but it's at least better reason than haha profit. Unless like literally everyone else stops first they aren't going to stop for fear of the potential optics.
I disagree, Zionism isn't Judaism. Zionism was created out of antisemitic reasons, European nations 'solving' the 'jewish question,' instead of enshrining protections for the rights of Jewish people in their nations; and has continued to fuel antisemitism as Israel attributes it's crimes against humanity in the name of all Jewish people, which clearly isn't true. Antisemites love that conflation
Germany isn't making that distinction nor are most countries at this point though that could be argued to be because of influence. I don't disagree with the sentiment it just doesn't change what is actually happening and why.
I agree, I think the continued support is more about geopolitical influence and American hegemony in the region. If the US pulled support, I'm sure many European nations would follow. Props to Ireland and Spain for standing out and not supporting this genocide
Even whilst supposedly making amends they've preserved the fundamental racist thinking that underpinned Nazism by going with "we have a debt to a race" rather than "we have a debt to the victims".
Because of that, they de facto just changed who they deem ubermenschen ("Jews are good") and untermenschen ("Muslims are backwards and violent") without ditching the actual XIX cenrury notion so beloved by Nazis that race dictates the character and worth of a person.
You see the same in many other nations, especially in the Anglo-Saxon world, but none the less such racism is especially poignant when the nation that created Nazism is militarily helping a new Holocaust backed by reasons which ultimately trace back to their own vontinued practice of ethnic-discrimination.
Zionism being defined as self empowerment and not "manifest destiny 2 : rumble in the Levant" while calling someone who didn't say anything particularly wrong an antisemite is let's say odd.
No one said it was as far as I can tell, they made a comparison. The numbers simply can't be the same because there aren't that many Palestinians left because military aged men have been getting murdered or disappeared there for generations at this point.
Referring to the Gaza war as a new Holocaust, is Holocaust denial, which is antisemitic.
Zionism is a national liberation movement of an oppressed people. That’s the core.
If it's a new Holocaust then the famous one has to have happened which by the by was not the first Holocaust nor only Holocaust.
Implying no other genocide could be a Holocaust is Holocaust denial boss.
I see you’re on the same train of holocaust denial.
Things can be bad without needing a holocaust or Nazi comparison.
Using Nazi and holocaust comparisons for Israel is always antisemitic in nature. It only serves demonization, delegitimization, hate mongering, and incitement.
The Armenian genocide was horrible but nowhere near the level of the Holocaust.
