Hopefully this is a step toward dismantling the brutal apartheid regime that has colonised Palestine for 76 years.

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.

Israel, which said it would retaliate by recalling its ambassadors from Dublin, Madrid and Oslo, and withholding vital funds from the Palestinian Authority.
The Israeli government (and many but not all Israeli people) will seize on any excuse they can to punish the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian people at this point. So tying such actions to the recent decisions of Ireland, Norway, Spain, or whoever else is very disingenuous.
They want all the Palestinians to suffer, and preferably disappear forever. These punitive steps are just a means to that end.
Let them take their ambassadors, we have been asking for their expulsion for months. This is a win win for us.
I think it was smart enough to let them do the withdrawal instead of us doing the expulsion tbh. They look like they're having a tantrum now because of it.
You can't have a two state solution without two states. Calm down lads.
That Russian ambassador though.... I would very much like to see him kicked out. His justification of the invasion to Tubridy was disgusting to watch.
Ireland, Spain and Norway: thank you for your leadership
I ❤️ Basedland! This is being human, recognizing in others the same struggle you went through and want to lend a helping hand.
DUBLIN — When Fatin Al Tamimi immigrated to Ireland in 1988, she felt like hers was the only hijab on the streets of Dublin. There weren't many other Arabs or Muslims in Ireland at that time. "People thought I was a nun! They were always like, 'Bless you, sister,'" the educator and activist recalls, laughing. But when her mostly white, Irish Catholic neighbors learned she was Palestinian, she says they were immediately supportive. "They'd say, 'We know it all, we've been through that,' " Al Tamimi says. "I guess because of history, the way they were oppressed and colonized by the British. It's the same thing happening to the Palestinians." - NPR
The only reason why these countries are not immediatelly sanctioned by the Biden Administration is because it would start a Trade War with the whole of the EU which would really fuck up the US and cause even more EU nations to do the same things as these three.
Great to see from these three countries.
Do so before The IDF wipes the entire fucking place(And everyone in it)out, once and for all
Vacated embassies? Sounds like the new Palestinian state has embassies now.
Israel just had to poke at the hive. Because russia'z invasion was going great. Now it's time for consequences.
Reminds us of Trump and the consequences he is facing.
I wouldn't be surprised if Putin helped Bibi & Hamas kick off 10/7. It helps all 3 of their goals.
