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.

I'm starting to think Israel isn't interested in a two state solution.
Netanyahu said a few days ago that a Palestinian state was a threat to Israeli security. And, you know, the Israeli right explicitly campaigns on not accepting a two-state solution. I know you're being facetious, but it needs to be made perfectly clear that this genocide is not a fluke.
and it looks like they are looking to kill off the Palestinians.
They had past a law last year never to accept it.
But the whole Oslo process and past 30 years were a lie already as Israel has expanded its ethnic cleansing and settlements ever since. This also isnt an issue of the "far right". The settlements and ethnic cleansings continued as much under "social democratic" governments. Zionism is a fascist ideology of ethnic cleansing and extermination and it is shared by all relevant Israeli parties. There is no Zionist left. They are fascists with token LGBT rights.
It´s interesting you mention Oslo in this regard. Hamas´ sabotage of Oslo brought Netanyahu to power, burying a two state solution once and for all.
Oslo wasn´t a lie for Rabin, Peres or the 50+% of Israelis supporting them. But Palestinian fascists managed to force the trolley onto the other track.
You do realize Oslo was explicitly meant to create "an entity less than a state" right? These are Rabin's own words btw. Like, it'd have been a pretty sizeable improvement over what we have now, but it was not a two-state solution. Also you're gonna need a source for that 50+% bit.
I think it´s funny people seem to have such strong negative opinions of the Oslo accords when apparently not being overly burdened with the actual details.
Everything about Oslo was explicitly aimed at untying the knots and removing the roadblocks that began to make a path back to a two state solution and thus to peace impossible after the first Intifada. It might not have jumped directly to the final end goal, but it consisted of the essential first steps to get there.
And sure, that included Rabin using language to soften the message to hardliners. Didn´t fool them though: they understood perfectly what it meant and murdered him for it.
Rabin was murdered by a Likud guy with Mossad ties after Netanyahu and others depicted Rabin as a new Hitler. Subsequently Netanyahu took over government for a few years.
The majority of Israelis evidently was against it. After all they backed the murderers of Rabin.
Not to mention that even the so beloved Rabin was a war criminal
He "took over government for a few years" because Rabin was murdered?
Sounds like you're very eager to leave out a few small details here and there lol
edit for those interested: Peres was up 60-40 in the polls 2 months before the election, until Hamas' massive bombing campaign managed to turn that around into a 49.5-50.5 loss on election day. Posters like Saleh are so heavily invested in pushing for polarization that they are more than willing to lie about the history that led us here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twenty-sixth_government_of_Israel
The twenty-sixth government of Israel was formed by Shimon Peres of the Labor Party on 22 November 1995, following the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin on 4 November. Peres kept the same coalition as previously, namely the Labor Party, Meretz and Yiud, which together held only 58 of the 120 seats in the Knesset. However, the government was also supported, but not joined, by Hadash and the Arab Democratic Party, which held an additional five seats between them.[1]
Although the Labor Party won the May 1996 Knesset elections, Peres was narrowly defeated by Binyamin Netanyahu in the country's first election for Prime Minister, meaning that the Likud leader formed the twenty-seventh government, which he completed on 18 June.

The twenty-seventh government of Israel was formed by Benjamin Netanyahu of Likud on 18 June 1996. Although his Likud-Gesher-Tzomet alliance won fewer seats than Labor, Netanyahu formed the government after winning the country's first ever direct election for Prime Minister, narrowly defeating incumbent Shimon Peres.
Together with Likud-Gesher-Tzomet, Netanyahu also included Shas, the National Religious Party, Yisrael BaAliyah, United Torah Judaism and the Third Way in the government, with the coalition holding 66 of the 120 seats in the Knesset.[1] The government was also supported, but not joined, by the two-seat Moledet faction. Gesher left the coalition on 6 January 1998, but the government remained in place until 6 July 1999, when Ehud Barak formed the twenty-eighth government after defeating Netanyahu in the 1999 election for Prime Minister.
