Israeli people have as much right to exist as Palestinian people. So let's not genocide the Palestinians, no matter how desperately Golda Meir claimed they're not real. Israel has a right to exist =/= Israel has a right to slaughter a culture. It's not fucking hard you cunts
It is really hard if you're only able to see the world in binary choices, which seems to be a common root of issues around the world
Does human have right to exist? If yes, then those who identify themselves as Israeli and those who identify themselves as Palestinians have the right to exist.
However, including Israel as a state and government in this statement doesn't make sense.
Its like someone going to another person house and take over a room then say I have the right to exist. Yes you have the right to exist but not the right to steal, and control the house. Now this state literally committing an ongoing genocide. So yes they state doesn't have the right to exist.
they do if they hadnt forcibly removed palestinians from the area since ww2.
Quite frankly, they don't.
They were invited refuge, turned violent and annexed the region, and have continued to be violent bloodthirsty pigs ever since.
Israel has a right to exist =/= Israel has a right to slaughter a culture.
That's the thing; under the UN charter, peoples have a right to exist, not states. Basically, what becomes of the region should be decided by the entire population living in it, but it seems like half of said population isn't getting much of a voice.
People who are now Israelis have a right to exist, just like everybody else.
The nation of Israel has no right to exist, same as all other nations.
Funny how racialized politics, autoritarianist tendencies and even a certain view of nation states as more important than people, did not stop when NAZI Germany was defeated and are still very much alive and acted on in Germany - the symbols such as swasticas and goose-stepping aren't displayed anymore but the fundational aspects of the NAZI view of the world, of the value of people and of the validity of the use of force to suppress ideas the powerful dislike, are still alive and well in Germany.
German government seems to be as shamelessly bribed and corrupt as Americas.
Fuck the speech police
Israel: a country so weak and pathetic it controls peoples speech.
The tought police will get you next
If Germans are serious about "never again", it should apply to any genocidal force and/or ethnostate. Israel is both. It has no right to exist.
Yeah, it really looks like Germany has learned the wrong lesson from the Holocaust.
* proposed law, which likely won't pass.
But, true enough, the proposition is insane.
Two wrongs don’t make one right, my fellow Germans!
And let me guess, the proposed law does not criminalize anyone saying "Between the Sea and the Jordan there will only be Israeli sovereignty" (Likud'77) or denying Palestinians the right to self-determination (there is no such thing as a state's right to exist under international law, contrary to the very real right to self-determination, enshrined in the UN Charter, that Germany is a signatory to).
These jewish-supremacist idiots are fuelling anti-Semitism, while propping up a genocidal apartheid regime.
A liberal democracy, apparently
Germany is going too far...
Too far right.
Too far right Yes, I'm sure the AFD will support this law.
There's a weird thing with Europe where the far-right is less supportive of the fascist world empire (since they're sovereigntists, while the fasicst world empire is supranational), while the center right and center left are all-in.
Okay Germany, but this time they might deserve some of the hate.
So called right to exist.

Albert Einstein's letter to the NY Times was 100% correct about Israel and Palestine. Is the German government going to trash his name too?
You Europeans give Americans so much shit; This shit would NEVER happen in the US. We can say whatever the hell we want.
Rings a bit hollow when Europeans are being denied entry because we don't like Trump and the president is trying to shut down independent media.
...we tend not to care about people who aren't United States citizens.
Or US citizens who aren't a certain color, or gender, for that matter.
Despite on what you might have read on Lemmy, most Americans aren't overtly racist. Alot of people want to reduce immigration, but that is because 80-90% of our total population growth is the result of immigration.
... it's not just about the impact it will inevitably have on our culture. As automation continues to take low income jobs, we will have a large surplus of unemployed lower class workers. There is a correlation between our low population density and our high standard of living.
Yeah I give you that, our border laws are insane
Not only that, as an American citizen I can go to prison for existing in public. The immigration officers are a secret police that could detain me on the spot for my gender expression not matching my government ID, and my skin is the right shade of brown to receive their racial profiling.
I'm the type of American citizen who is on the front line for this shit, but when there is no one left to speak up for you, you'll be next. They will take your right to vote by rigging elections and making the legislature irrelevant. They will throw you in jail for being a terrorist if you oppose fascism. They have shown open disregard for the Constitution at every juncture, and if you become a problem person, don't expect it to save you.
This is not a distant problem, it is knocking at your door. You can't claim America is "free" anymore. That era is over.
The US considers that no foreigner is entitled to passage in the country unless the government wills it. They've been milking this concept pretty much recently. But a US citizen can have as many memes they want on politicians and are allowed to enter and leave freely.
Can absolutely guarantee that if we implemented a similar rule, Vance and co would pitch an absolute fit
“So far, no federal law has been adopted.”
The law talked about in the article has also not passed. It is a proposal.
You can say whatever you want, but have to live in fear, that some government thugs in unmarked vans snatch you from the street and let you vanish in detention camps. Idk.
But, true enough, this proposed law discussed here is going too far. Fingers crossed that it does not pass (and it likely won't).
Is there anywhere that has free speech and a functional healthcare system?
Your occupation government demanded Germans to outlaw this type of speech in the postwar constitution.
I wonder if they've the gall to jail somebody for wearing a t-shirt which reads:
Palestine & Israel have EQUAL right to exist.
?
_ /\ _
That's just what total democracy looks like. Completely normal. In Germany, some political parties (left and right) are also banned to make sure they can't ever be elected.
Based on that time 3200+ years ago when they stole it.
Hier geht keiner in den knast für sowas, sind ja keine dummen amis, die ihre bevölkerung wegsperren
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.
-
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.
