I really feel like this is more of a middle finger to the US than anything, but I'll take it.
¡Porque no los dos!
Not everything is about the US.
It kind of is when it's about Israel.
I wish that was true.
Mexico is really cashing in on the US's failures
Everyone is
Considering how the president represents her people, I'm not surprised. Mexicans do oppose to the Palestine genocide by the Israel military forces. It's obviously not unanimous, some pro-Israel genocide state people do exist.
Well this wasn't in my bingo card.
I mean, if Russia and Ukraine can both agree in recognizing Palestine as a state maybe the rest of the world (USA) needs to take a hint
The worldnews subreddit is absolutely seething right now
Part of what drew me to the old site in ye olde 2013 was that it was the largest platform that wasn’t shitty about this specific subject.
Funny to see this is now the standard expectation for that place. Look how they massacred my boy
Plenty of Hasbara in Reddit these days combing through any Israel- Palestine conflict.
As someone who grew up in Ireland, I know for a fact that Ireland is one of the first countries to support Israeli statehood and then the two state solution. As a matter of fact, one of Ireland's ministers is a Jew who later on served as advisor to one of the Israeli political party that will eventually rule the country: the Likud party. Unfortunately, with ultra-Zionism now taking hold on Israeli society, Ireland recognise modern Israel's attempt to genocide Palestinians so there is a rift between Ireland and Israel.
Fast forward to present day, when the Irish parliament drew up a bill to ban goods from Israeli occupied territories, comments in Reddit swarmed like ants accusing Ireland of historical antisemitism/anti-Zionism and perpetuating the myth that then Irish prime minister, Eamon De Valera, sent condolences upon hearing the news of Hitlers death. These comments have been heavily upvoted. However, they conveniently and purposefully forget said Ireland's history of supporting Israeli statehood and close political ties with the country's early days.
They have it more much difficult right now, because Mexico's president is Jewish, so they are basically calling her a race traitor
Glad to hear it.
Worldnews is going to declare any and all posts from Mexicans are single issue and bans any posts about them.
Thread locked in 3... 2... 1...

"Preliminary reports today indicate that the White House is moving to declare Mexico a terrorist narco-state, with threats to invade and restore democracy."
Viva Mexico !
Makes me wish I was mexican
I wouldn't mind moving since Mexico has a much higher quality of life than the US does right now.
I am Mexican, I deem you honorary Mexican so you may share the joy of having a not so shitty president.
I mean, I don't live in Mexico so she's technically also not my president but if you want I can also deem you honorary Canadian.
Órale, eh?
Gg Mexico, hopefully canada can pull it's head out of its ass and follow suit
Fuck yeah! That’s super cool, Mexico. Also, I’m sorry we’re being dicks to you right now.
How long does it take to get Mexican citizenship?

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.
