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.

There, the tourists “violently intimidated one of activists, who is a racialized woman, calling her ‘fascist’, ‘monkey’, telling her to go back to Africa and even threatening to kill her.”
Sounds on par for ethnic supremacists.
The "go to Africa" made me confused because all the people seemed to be white Portuguese. I saw nobody of African descent (and it still wouldn't be OK).
Maybe our nice tans were to offensive for those snow flakes.
Do Israelis not also have tans?
The majority of Jews and Israeli people are of European Caucuses descent today. Very few are descendents of the Semites. Ironically, the majority of Palestinians are closer descendents of the Semites than the current global Jewish population... Hmm...
I was thinking more I was thinking more of tans from sunlight. And guessing you get a decent amount of sun in Israel as you do in Portugal. It seems like the original comment was saying Israelis are more white than Portuguese. I was just wondering if that’s really true, or at least a common perception anyway.
Not as sexy as ours, evidently.
Not the ones in power for the most part. An interesting historical fact is that Zionism didn't really take off in terms of Europeans headed to Palestine until a few years after sunscreen was invented.
What does it mean to be racialized?
To acquire one unpaired valence electron.
Person of color, but only in a background where it has any significance. So a Chinese person is racialized in France, but not in China, and a German person is racialized in Japan, but not in Germany.
It's translated by Google from "racializado" I think. I think it's being singled out because of your race...or something...
Fortunately the bible only says to love your neighbour so you can really let loose when travelling.
the bible also contains accounts of god helping his people conquer land and uproot the residing population from it. I wouldn't use it as a moral reference.
In fact, let's be honest: there is no point in quoting any religious text, regardless of religion, when discussing morality. These texts are horribly dated and should be considered as historically interesting, but nothing more.
Hey I'm with you, my comment was supposed to highlight as much. Helping people conquer land is even one of the more palatable examples you can choose from when it comes to morally abhorrent things in the bible.
I mean, when there's no commandment against rape and the one for murder doesn't count when their god says it's totes ok bro, take their land and dash their babies against the rocks, they have no moral ground to stand on.
Religion is the language of the oppressors couched in fantasy to make you do their dirty work in the here and now for a payoff that certainly doesn't exist.
It also teaches you how to treat your slaves.
Could have very easily had said, "slavery is evil, stop doing it," but nope.
Makes you wonder how many fewer people would be Christian nowadays if it was outspokenly anti -slavery. Interesting thought.
The audacity of entering someone's country, trying to control what they do and say and then tell them to go somewhere else "where they came from". Who would've expected an Israeli of being capable of such a thing.
Sounds like Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch
israeli tourists should be banned from entering the EU, same as russian tourists. People from these two fucking countries should not be allowed in.
Isn't there a word for when people go to a foreign country and attack the locals? Feels like it's right on the tip of my tongue...
Terrorists.
Terrourists 😂
Invasion?
Why are these Nazis even allowed in?
because they disguise themselves as Jews
Careful, they might try to steal your home while they're there.
Coimbra is traditionally an academic city. The demonstrators were very peaceful. Had they done this in Porto, for example, it could've earn them a beating.
Portuguese peope are very good hosts, but you don't enter someone's "home" and tell them what to do. It's one of the most insulting things you can do as a visitor. And you don't tell us to "go to Africa". Honestly I'm surprised some old lady didn't came with a broom and sweep their asses into next week.
"They're not sending their best"
I’m just waiting for the follow up of this headline now. “Israeli tourists attacking pro-Palestine supporters killed in attack, told to go home”.
Video and pictures of the incident
"This is my place, my place"
"Your place is is Africa! In Africa! Not here"
Shouts the Russian Israeli in a Portuguese square to the Portuguese demonstrating there against the actions of the nation he chose to live in.
Wow, just wow.
The two question zionists need to be explicitly asked are:
If they answer no to the first one, they expose their complete bias and therefore unable to even argue their position effectively.
If they answer yes, then they have to explain why the genocidal traits of what Israel are doing are not genocide, which might hopefully make them more introspective.
