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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Very little.
Notice that they haven't actually stated for what is the territory of Palestine, even indirectly by saying it is what was defined in past accords.
Now Israel is possibly an invader on the territory of the sovereign nation of Palestine - only possibly because it depends on what is considered the territory of the nation of Palestine, which this doesn't at all define directly of indirectly - this has created with a massive hole to allow claiming that Israel isn't in fact invading Palestine or at least that it's not clear, because Israel can just say that were they are is not the territory of Palestine whilst Palestinians say it is, and legally it hasn't been clarified who is right.
Now, ask yourself: are these people so incredibly incompetent in the field of diplomacy and international law that they didn't spot this, or is it a case that they designed this "recognition" to be exactly as it is - of the existence of a state without defining its territory, thus with massive holes - on purpose?
Even if Israel was deemed to be "invading Palestine", as far as I know in International Law, "invading a sovereign nation" isn't actual as bad an act as "committing Genocide" and Israel has already been deemed as commiting a Genocide by a number of entities, including the UN and is currently breaking the ICCs order to stop certain activities (though I believe the court hasn't yet rulled on their actions amounting to a Genocide or not, but they had issue orders for Israel to stop certain activities).
Now, if Israel isn't being made by the nations that have now "recognized the state of Palestine" to suffer consequences (for example, sanctions) for the greater crime of "commiting Genocide", how likely it is that these very same nations that refuse to punish Israel for that will now punish Israel for the lesser crime of "invasion of a foreign nation"
Again: remember, this is if they actually recognize Israel's actions as an invasion, and without an accepted definition of what exactly is the territory of the nation of Palestine, they can claim that there is no invasion or (more likely, IMHO) that "it's not clear".
To me this just looks like performative smoke & mirrors from politicians who support Israel whilst the public opinion on their nations is heavilly against Israel and their actions, hence why it makes sense that a nation like Britain which is currently doing surveillance flights over Gaza and giving the data to Israel, as well as arresting old ladies as Terrorism Supporters for demonstrating against the Genocide, woud be part of this - it's de facto an action which doesn't hurt Israel whilst being spinned to the British Public Opinion - that demands that "something must be done about Israel" (there was already a demonstration with 500,000 people about it) - as "something is being done".
