- 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.
-
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.

They voted Hamas, Support Hamas and sustain it. It was Palestinian civilians who spat onto naked raped bodies of women. Palestinians got what they chose and deserve it. They are no poor people but supporters of s criminal system.
Live 30-40 years in a place where an occupying nation walls your cities, treats you as prisoners, denies and steals resources, and we'll see which kind of hate you will harbour against your aggressors. You will just see red. I'm not condoning what they are doing but I get why they do, they have been suffering for so long that they want the aggressors to feel the same, and at this point, for them, anyone in Israel is the aggressor. A cornered rabid dog bites anyone.
1937, 1947, 2000, 2001, 2008. These are the years on which the Arab side of Palestine was offered the choice of gaining statehood, but they said no.
Well, yeah, they take half your belongings and they then tell you to accept what you have, I don't think they will accept it. I don't believe for an instant that the statehood they were offered covers the land they should have. Is this one of the proposals? What is that divided country.

Now, this is the 2008 proposal? It looks hummilliating.

~~I don't know if the second image is correct, but given that it is known that israel has been taking land from palestine, what was offered in 2000, 2001 and 2008 would be even less than 1947, and that one looks super bad too, so I really get why they didn't accept that mockery of a proposal.~~
~~Edit: look at the 1995 map and tell me that excomunicating the country in such manner (water pipes, electricity, anything that requires having the country conencted simply doesn't work) isn't anything but horrible: https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/INTERACTIVE-Ethnic-cleansing.png?w=770&resize=770%2C770 .~~ I have read more and it seems like this is some sort of propaganda, so although the progress of the control zones is kinda correct, the proposals were not those. Don't check this map. I any case, this source seems more credible and the map is really, really fragmented, my point still stands: https://www.nzz.ch/english/israeli-palestinian-conflict-how-the-political-maps-have-changed-ld.1664125
Again, not condoning their actions but... fuck, I really get why they are doing it.
This statement might be valid for the peace plans of 2000s. I don't think it can be applied to the original suggestions in 1930s and 1940s, since they were getting to own their land for the first time since Britain's colonisation. That might have been the time to accept compromises, especially given the Palestinian Arabs' relations with the Nazis during and before WW2.
And of course afterwards, it was the Arabs who launched the first war against Israel in 1948.
Since colonization, before colonization they were a country called Palestine.
Here's a map from 1400 showing Palestine.

There's gotta be some limit how far to the history we should be looking at when deciding who gets to live where.
Israeli were expelled in like 500ad, the nearest claim would be pre ottoman Syria which was Palestine.
LMFAO, we've beat you like dogs and taken 99% of your land, accept this peace offering... Or else.
Again, that's not what 1937 and 1947 were about at all.
Are you talking about elections held over 10 years ago? Hamas is an authoritarian militia, nobody would trust them to hold honest elections.
