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.

I see things differently. Condemning genocide is not an arbitrary test related moral purity.
And like Jewish Voice for Peace say:
as well as
I remember liberals being super angry about conservatives requiring all Muslims to "condemn terrorism."
Did any western country apologized for their colonial past aka terrorism
kinda one time at least: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apology_Resolution
(If I understand you correctly. I rather hope there are other examples, it would be a weird thing for America to lead the world in.)
And I remember Iranians and Chinese people being refused entry to places because of things their governments did
Please share because I'd like to learn. I can't think of a single Chinese or Iranian artist who was banned from a performance or display in a European country.
Not gAlienLifeform, but you really couldn't search “Europe bans {Iranian,Chinese} immigrants?”
Neither of those articles have anything to do with this. He is not immigrating to Belgium.
He was invited as a member of the Munich Philharmonic, then the invitation was rescinded because the organizers didn't like the optics of a Jewish Israeli conducting at their festival. I personally find that problematic, and a standard that other artists are not held to, despite war crimes or atrocities committed by their Governments.
Read my first point again.
I’m not arguing about Lahav Shani. I’m arguing against European states barring Iranians & Chinese folks just because their states do XYZ.
I plead no contest on Belgians’ collective decision to cancel his performance based on his political views.
We're talking about an Israeli, not a Jew. One who has a prominent role in the cultural life of that country. As a "liberal", I would not have had an issue with questions being asked if some high profile Saudis were invited to a festival in October 2001.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
You are missing the point. When did he say that he doesn't condemn genocide?
It seems like you are on the attack and defame technique. Pretty hypocritical.
The article literally says that the concert was not canceled because of any of his statements or views. It was cancelled because he is a professional musician in Tel Aviv who is Jewish.
I ask you once again, if that's not true, then what did he specifically say or do to warrant the cancellation?
It's not sealioning. People are claiming that he refused to condemn genocide, despite nothing of the sort in the article. It is fair to ask someone to explain or defend something that they specifically claim is factual, which has no basis in reality.
