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.

Israel won't care until the west stops funding them
Stop supplying them with weapons
Stop condemning them but still giving them money
Prosecute them for the war crimes they're committing, and make them pay
They know that nobody will actually stop them, because they can claim to be victims of antisemitism, a drum they will beat forever, regardless of whether it's valid or not
The rest of the world is now cowed because of a bronze age fairytale
Stop letting them attend your universities and engage in tourism. When wealthy Israelis cannot go clubbing anywhere you might actually see change.
I'm lucky
I don't live in America
Even that won't be enough. Research the "Samson Option". Basically, if the West abandons Israel, they'll just blackmail us into compliance.
It was a country created to give the west a permanent influence in the middle east
It made sense to put bullies and thugs at the helm, and nothing had changed since then
Israel is not a legitimate state and never was
But do any of these and the ADL will jump all over you.
And what if they do? It's not like they have an army. Let them bleat, and call them out for being mouthpieces for a genocidal state.
Who give a damn about adl who defended Musk use of nazi salute?
It's so weird. There's still so much shame in Germany for what they did during the second world war, yet now they are actively supporting genocide again and have propaganda laws concerning Israel, as Israel and zionism are now under the anti-antisemitic law. Well done Germany, I guess you never change.
Germany has always been a big supporter of Zionism: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
This is from before the Holocaust started, so I doubt the underlying reason for their support is guilt for the Holocaust.
Germany is ashamed for committing genocide 80 years ago yet now they are doing it again by sending weapons to Israel. And they are covering it up by criminalizing news about it.
I'm not saying their guilt is the reason for doing it again, I'm saying it makes no sense as they always said they would do anything to prevent it to ever happen again.
There's no shame, there's guilt pride. They are jumping right to that, not giving you an option of telling them they haven't repented yet or maybe that they are repenting the wrong way, or not repenting at all.
It seems really rare to meet an ashamed German.
They are not ashamed of Namibia, just like Belgium is not ashamed of Kongo. That whole "genocidal colonialism is past us" thing was wishful thinking, it was quickly assumed to be already fulfilled and now Europeans judge you for reminding them what their ancestors did and what their nations are doing now, just by Israel's hands or Turkey's or someone else.
If it had Zero Effect then Israel wouldn't spend so much time and money trying to stop it from happening.
Laschet, the chairman of the foreign affairs committee in the Bundestag, Germany's lower house of parliament, said the new conservative-led government's "quiet diplomacy" and "clear words" to Israel were "more effective than constant resolutions and pithy slogans."
Yeah right. The fuck they are. And in effect he's saying the opposite of what the headline suggests.
It is also blatantly false. Whenever Israel made some concessions in slowing down the genocide it was after a public threat by allied governments.
Germany has been sabotaging any effort for peace and is now claiming it would have been the one responsible if there is any success. It would be laughable if they weren't complicit in committing genocide.
Cut off funding and impose sanctions before Germany becomes complicit in another genocide.
They already are. Germany should stop arming israel and impose sanction to stop their complicity
I can't find anything from the article warranting this headline.
