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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Whoever subscribes to "might makes right" ideology is a beast, and that's what's behind both Zionism and Western supremacy (which are basically the same thing). Also, they literally aren't Semitic, they're just Polish, Ukrainian, German, and other kinds of European who invaded the land and settled there. Semitic people exist, of course, they're the locals who have been targeted by Europeans for millennia.
Jews, including Ashkenazi, have Levantine DNA. Jews in Europe were not accepted as Polish, German, etc. That was the whole reason Zionism became a thing.
Antisemitism is a term coined specifically to be a more polite word for Jew hatred and Anti-Judaism. Semitic is a linguistic term, not an ethnic one.
They specifically do not, which is why Israel forbids DNA analysis. Their eastern European origin is the result of "pick a fucking religion" ultimatum to entirely separate people.
Israel doesn’t forbid DNA analysis. That’s simply a propaganda lie you fell for. There’s active research, as you can read about in this article for example. https://www.jpost.com/archaeology/article-860458
There’s ample scientific research you can look up. Even Wikipedia has an overview.
Way to slut shame the Israelites. I guess then everyone should have the divine supremacist right of "Thou shalt steal the land of those you must murder and destroy idols from". Civilizational constraints are so inconvenient, but fortunately now, everyone can be a genocidal chosenite, and we can end the civilizational principles/rules experiment.
Hey, I've sent you one DM. Can you please check?
Thanks.
The sons of Shem shared the land with the Caananites (sons of Ham (also Noah's son), though like Indians who never heard of India, their fellow Levant/Sumerian decendant tribes never heard of Caanan or Ham) and had extremely similar language to Hebrew. They shared the same god that Abraham named his IsraELite children, that Moses would later tell us that (no god before me) Yahweh had demonically impersonated, where Yahweh was one of 70 sons of El.
So Semite, is either just the Israelite descendants of Shem/Abraham, or the entirety of the Levant/Mesopotamia people if language based. The Ashkenazi are none of these, whether or not they went to Hebrew School.
