A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

We've seen this before. Dehumanize a people to the point where everyone is considered scum and this is what happens.
This is literally one of the steps to building a fascist state. Israel is speed running to a fascist theocracy.
they already are. it's time for regime change
Every time they start talking about it something like this happens and everyone there "rallys around the flag"
Israel has never not been a fascist state. Religion is humanity's oldest lash. Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism is a heretical revolutionary cult against the political structures that each prior religion corrupted itself into.
A NYT letter to the editor signed by many prominent Jews, including Einstein, more or less blatantly called Tnaut Haherut Nazis.
Haherut is now Likud, and that letter was written in 1948.
From a comment in reference to this piece:
“In February 2014, the state of Israel held a memorial ceremony to mark the 20th anniversary of Begin’s death. The prime minister, then, as now, was Netanyahu.
“The newspaper Israel Hayom reported Netanyahu as saying: ‘[Begin] is a great role model for me, with his respect for democracy, courts of law and the media…… Israel and the Likud are inspired by the spirit of Menachim Begin.’”
Each of the abrahamic religions after Judaism
I'm no scholar, but aren't there only two and their various sects? Would have been shorter to just name them, unless it was to tie them to their Abrahamic roots and then I'm curious why you don't include Judaism.
You could argue it's all the same religion, different sects but the same exact God, just different names for it.
Or wasn't the exact same God who talked to Abraham in all of these religions?
I'm no scholar
I wasn't going for short, I was trying to communicate a specific idea. To answer your questions read the rest of what I said.
I did misread initially, thank you.
Just what Trump and the GOP is doing with immigrants in America.
I remember around 10 years ago, there were some videos of what the youth were taught in school, and interviews with young adults about their opinion of Palestinians.
To sum it up, they were taught they were filth, sub human, in ~grade school ages. Young adults "sympathized" that they had tough lives, but they should go elsewhere, anywhere else, and that if they didn't, they should die.
It was in the context of that anti missile defense, and living in Isreal with frequent missile/terror attacks, and how Palestinians were segregated, had long lines to enter the city, couldn't use the same roads, kids throwing rocks at cars, etc.
So yeah, this genocide is hardly surprising. They've been dehumanizing the Palestinians for generations, straight up indoctrinating their children. So the IDF murdering them like some rabid dogs was exactly the goal.
Holy moly, this sounds hauntingly familiar.
And that is all really ridiculous brainwashing, considering that all those people look very similar. You could take random Israelis and Palestinians and dress them up all in the same clothes, and then ask people which person was which ethnic group and they might not be able to tell them apart.
Same thing with the Hutus and the Tutsis during the Rwandan Genocide, or Turkish and Armenian people, except even closer than that probably. It's ridiculous.
JR, an artist that plastered large portraits of Palestinian and Isrealis in both cities. Groups tried to tear down portraits of the opposing group. They had to stop because they realized they really couldn't tell who was Isreali or Palestinian by their faces alone. This was in 2007.
This is my favorite Black Mirror episode because, unlike most of the episodes, it has literally been done before except we don't need the technology they used. People are cruel and stupid enough to just listen when you say other people are monsters without requiring much else.
The UN has also compared the rate of killing to Rwanda. Specifically worse than in any conflict since Rwanda.
Bibi: We have to pump those numbers up if we ever want to beat Rwanda
there is no amount of Palestinian death that will ever slake the bloodthirst of the I"D"F and the genocidal state they murder for.
TIL the word slake, thanks!
Zionists are Nazis.
YouTube link to video (non graphic)
These IDF soldiers truly can't help themselves from posting their war crimes on TikTok.
Holy fucking shit that is despicable.
They brag about killing an unarmed man cowering under a bed.
Then they congratulate the killer.
Then they go back to shoot at the corpse.
What. The. Fucking. Hell.
And I can't do anything about it except keep up some degree of internet activism, but that doesn't really alleviate that feeling of needing to do something.
I hope that video gets around and ruins the life of this Lior named person who did the killing. As in I hope he faces some motherfucking consequences for this horrible stuff.
Now you're Internet famous. See you in the Hague!
Woah, interdimensional communication! I just want to say you're lucky you get to live in the universe where justice is actually served to those that deserve it!
If you look up who is signed up to what part of the Geneva convention, I suspect you won't be at all surprised to see various countries in the news right now and which bits they're not signed up to.
ZioNazis
It was RIGHT THERE
NAZIONIST
Apparently the kibbutzim are quite bad for "radicalising" children into this kind of hyper-nationalist, fascist mentality. That's an ironic legacy for a series of communes, but maybe it's a byproduct of their insularity?
Neue NAZIs.
Ashkenazis
Where's the source for this happening? The article claims there was a video, but I don't see a link it.
It’s embedded, just press play to watch.

Isn't this a Black Mirror episode? Back when it was still pretty good
