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 (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.

Most moral army my middle fucking nut. Fully happy to genocide all Palestinians because of the actions of terrorists funded by Israel
A Napoleonic era artillery barrages could flatten Gaza in a couple of weeks. They're clearly not attempting to genocide all Gazans. To believe that requirea the belief that the IDF is the most incompetent military force to ever walk the planet.
They're not attempting to kill them all, but 1.4 million people have been displaced. And they want them to flee northern Gaza, and historically land in these cases is not returned to Palestinians.
That's a fair concern. But this happened in 2008, 2012 and 2014 where mass amounts of Gazan were told to flee certain areas (granted not this massive) and after their ground operations Israel retreated back across the border.
I would argue this is still genocide, just not at a rapid rate:
https://www.oxfam.org.uk/media/press-releases/starvation-as-weapon-of-war-being-used-against-gaza-civilians/
2.2 million people are unable to access a consistent supply of food!
And that's the fault of their government who started a war. In no other conflict, has there been the expectation that in a war between parties A and B, that A feed, clothe and care for the civilians in party Bs territory that party B militarily controls.
And that is the fault of Hamas for not properly preparing for this war they started. They had the initiative, they could have stockpiled the basic goods it's civilians would need. They chose not to.
And Israel. Israel funded Hamas in the past to weaken the peace-seeking PLO. And even now they allow foreign money to reach them. Can't have your boogieman going broke.
Lol gonna need you to cite this one because the PLO has denied every single peace deal Israel has offered, including multiple 2 state solutions
How so? The Oslo accords were called off by Israel. And the failure of peace talks in 2014 was confirmed by the US special envoy to be 100% Israel's fault. Camp David is a matter of debate and nobody really knows what happened in 2008 so I won't comment on those, but by my count that makes 2 times where Israel refused peace.
Nothing in your post is citation, and all of it is made up.

As for 08
Some light reading:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_peace_process#:~:text=2%20June%202014.-,Abbas'%202014%20peace%20plan,East%20Jerusalem%20as%20Palestine's%20capital.
The quote you’re using is from the 2010-2011 peace talks. The reason those broke down is as follows:
In regards to Oslo and the 2014 peace talks:
2014:
Oslo: Both Oslo accords were signed, however,
This led to the Camp David Accords where the main issues and points seemed to be the following:
To summarize the 2010-11 peace talks broke down due to Israel not abiding by the terms of the negotiation. The 2014 talks are debated with more blame seeming to be placed on Israel. The Oslo accords were signed but left unresolved and unfollowed by Israel leading to the camp David accords where the main issue seems to be the right of return for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were displaced. However, who actually ended the talks is still debated.
While you actually knowing the events is great, your analysis is really flawed by your biases.
Palestinians have nothing to bargain with. Refusing to even recognize Israel's statehood is a non-starter. It's essentially just a giant "fuck off" sign
Lmfao. It was Netenyahu that stopped negotiations when he was elected in 1996.
Also it literally says in the article you sent: "Both sides claim the other dropped follow-up contacts".
Source of where Israel funded Hamas?

Only a mistake in hindsight though
Not really, since they kept at it.
https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
Oh I'm not including Netanyahu's govt in this. They definitely tried to divide and conquer with predictable results.
Mate it's pretty fucking wild to ask when Israel funded Hamas and only then say you don't count the actual Israeli government of most of the last 30 years
That is when Israel 'funded' them. No one has supplied a source of Israel funding Hamas this century.
There's a difference between funding and allowing funds from Qatar and Iran to flow to Gaza
So then why not say that in the prior comment? You just said "I don't count Netanyahu's government" in response to an article about Netanyahu's government
This was the comment:
I've seen no source that shows direct funding of Hamas other than the precursor to Hamas that Israel allowed to build mosques and universities, in the 1980's...
I'm also not sure how the Israelis could have prevented Qatari money getting in
Yes, I know. I have read the thread. I'm talking about your comment in which you said that you don't count Netanyahu's government.
Because Netanyahu's govt used Hamas to split the Palestinians once it became clear that a two state option was not wanted on either side.
That still doesn't mean Israel funded Hamas.
Your source is one retired, self-acclaimed ex-military of Israel who has no proof but just says it is so?
Seriously, do all the claims of Israel funding Hamas go back to this one person?
