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 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.

Pope Leo said on Sunday that the only solution in the decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people must include a Palestinian state, reaffirming the Vatican's position.
Title sounded like he was supporting a single state solution with Palestine as the state, but it's the same two state solution that Vatican has supported for some time
Rename it Sky Daddy Land and let it be run by a council of atheists.
Then the Palestinians and Israelis will have a common enemy and will stop fighting.
Stop obfuscating this fight has little to do with religion its due to a settler colony and its expansion and resistance to it.
Yeah, but how do they keep track of who is the settler, and who is the native - hint: begins with 'r'.
Really obvious differences in skin color and culture
Race?
Rhymes with three pigeons
I can think of another one.
What if religion was separated from government, and all people were treated equally under secular law, as is the case in every advanced country where even non-cis-males are allowed to read freely and have a complex pluralistic civilization ?
IOW what if all the Sky Daddy people fucked off with their cosplay and let the adults manage things?
Ok great. So now Israel is just committing a secular genocide without the veneer of religion. I don't see that that's better.
WhenxSecular countries are supporting the terrorist state of Israel you know that it is not about religion
US support if Israel is arguably very much driven by religion as much as geopolitics
It's typical imperialism and western neocolonial mentality
It's definitely the excuse they use to justify it.
It's just surprising how many people fall for it, including those critical of it.
know what a state without religion looks like? palestine.
Again little to do with religion its colonialism dummy.
Uh... The Nakba was committed by secular atheists. Stop trying to pin this on religion.
Just put the whole region under a quarantine and check back in 100 years whether they have become civilized?
No. Not disengagement; quite the opposite. De-radicalization and modernization.
The way Germany stopped worshiping Hitler and the mythical Great Germanic Past. The way Japan stopped worshiping Hirohito and the mythical Great Japanese Past.
Both were quasi religious states, depending on a population steeped in a culture of credulity coupled with unchallengeable authority.
Related but not identical: North Korea, Iran, Putin's Russia, MAGA
Germany and Japan were subject to complete and total American led nation building. Douglas MacArthur basically wrote the Japanese constitution and modeled it on America.
Who do you plan to appoint as leader of this new project of yours?
Yeah that's the real serious problem here
There is no Force Majure. America that was, is no more.
Learn to swim?
Realistically, I don't see the conflict ending until climate change renders the area an uninhabitable wasteland.
Given how climate change seems to be accelerating, this is probably a few decades.
