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. 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.

so where do you get this from exactly? because the PA has been working toward a two-state solution, while the Israeli government has been strengthening Hamas to undermine the PA's attempt at getting a two-state solution passed, and yes, Netanyahu has said this openly, for years
The Palestinian's under the PLO had a charter to completely reject any two state solution until 1994, and two state negotiations barely lasted a couple years before violence broke out again.
So no, the Palestinian Arabs do not, and have never wanted a two state solution.
yet the PLO was dissolved and replaces by the PA in accordance with the Camp David agreements, of course Israel conveniently forgot they existed, so for about 10 years the Palestinians tried to do the whole peaceful negotiation bit, and got jack shit, until a terror group backed by Bibi won the civil war in Gaza, putting an end to the negotiations entirely.
so I ask if the Palestinians when't interested in a two-state solution, where is the PLO?
The PA also did not want a two state solution, they wanted a one state solution that they controlled.
what exactly are you talking about? are you just repeating stuff you heard that matches your notion of "all Muslims are evil and want to kill jews"?
None of their negotiations gave Jews a right to the land. And Palestinians tried a total of 2 years of peaceful negotiations, not 10.
And no, not all Muslims are bad, but the leadership in Palestine and Israel have never wanted the other religion to exercise any control in the region, and pretending Palestinians are completely innocent is idiotic.
ok, so first off, what exactly are you basing your "worked towards a two-state solution" on? because it definitely has nothing to do with any of the treaties or actions to radicalize said treaties by the Palestinian people.
And through your ignorance, purposeful or not, you straight up lie about the Palestinian government's attempts at a two-state solution, fucking Netanyahu literally supported Hamas to undermine the two state efforts of the PA, what you claim just doesn't match with any facts.
The PA only made efforts at peace for about 2 years, I ma basing it on that. 2 years out of the 75 that Israel has existed has had Palestine make legitimate attempts at a 2 state solution, not just a delaying tactic until they start attacking again.
And Netanyahu is a shit-sack as well.
again, you repeat the 2 year number, what are you basing that on?
In addition, seeing how the Palestinians actually followed through with their side of these negotiations(e.g. Palestine radicalize their first step of the Oslo accords while Israel only upped the settlements and martial law in response), I think it's HIGHLY disingenuous to call it a delaying tactic, bordering on a bold faced lie. Further evidence that they actually are genuinely working towards a two-state solution is that the Israeli government supports Hamas to undermine these efforts.
Simply put, congrats, you are a bigot because you seem to ignore facts while painting all Palestinians with the same negative brush.
After losing against Israel for nearly 50 years, even though Palestine and the Arab nations started the conflicts against them. After spending nearly 50 years breaking ceasefires after Israel granted Palestine land back. Only after that did Palestine try and negotiate for peace, and their demands were that Israel give up a ton of land, and they Palestine super pinky swore they wouldn't start attacking from it again like they did for the previous 50 years.
Bad deal for Israel.
technically Israel started the first war, this is what lead to the Suez crisis of the early Cold War.
the Palestinian position was that everyone go back to their own borders, tho if you consider all the territory legally gained via annexation (that Israel did, hence why they built permanent settlements in the Sinai Peninsula, and continue to build settlements) it may seem like they are having to "give up land" in the same way that Russia sees returning Crimea and the Donbas to Ukraine as "giving up a ton of land".
Tho one would say that if it wasn't for western aid to Ukraine it would have been a "good deal" for Russia to invade Ukraine, so are you on the Russian side of this conflict?
No Israel didn't, the Arab coalition invaded the day Israel was created. The Arabs started the war.
And the Palestinian position was it's all Palestine, Israel has to go.
And Israel took land after it was attacked by Palestine and the Arab league, Russia attacked first. So no, that's an idiotic false equivalence.
you mean the civil war that was the Palestinians wanting freedom from the israeli-british colonial forces?
or maybe the 1948 israeli-arab war? the one that the Israeli government rejected non-violent solutions proposed by outside parties, such as Truman? Instead, growing their militia forces with the aid of the brits. also known as the thing that ended in an ethnic cleansing of Arabs out of "rightful Israeli land"
or maybe you mean the war of 1956 where in an attempt to colonialize Northern Africa a join Israeli-British-French operation was launched to take control of the Suez Canal? (and failed spectacularly because both the US and Soviets opposed this)
or maybe you mean the war of 1967 where Israel publically stated they were preemptively attacking their neighbors, destroyed the entire grounded Egyptian air force in a few short hours and proceeded to annex the Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, Golan, and the west bank?
but hey in 1973 we finally get to an actual defensive war on Israels part.
this is what happens when you let theocratic nationalists make their own nation with backing from the brits.
The Palestinians who have never had a state, and most of whome only arrivesd in that land following the fall of the Ottoman empire at the end of WW1.
Land that was controlled by various Empires through history and is no ones homeland. And if you argue it's Palestine's homeland, then you have to acknowledge they stole it form others, including the original Jews.
The 1948 Arab Israeli war started by the Arab nations when they immediately invaded Israel following the end of the British mandate.
And 1967 was also started by Arabic military buildup.
The Arabs went in with a policy of drive the Jews into the sea, and followed on it for 50 years.
So I won't actually respond to this moron, but if anybody else wants to know why what they're saying is completely wrong reply to me.
Because you're a moron, I see.
Palestinians want to control the land, and most want to expel the Jews. That has been the case since the founding of Israel. Sorry you're blind to that.
