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.

Proving how much anti-semitsm israel spreading is by using Judaism as a shield for their crimes
so now you're justifying anti-semitism?
just like neo-nazis giving excuses for their anti-semitism.
anti-semitism existed for centuries before israel
No I'm explaining the cause of anti-semitism. Which is israel. Israel keeps using the good Jewish name as a shield for their Genocide.
Only since israel started using Judaism as a shield for their Nazi behavior did this false correlation start.
Arabs have no problem with Jews. It was in Europe that Pogroms were a regular occurance.
Baghdad farhud 1941
Allahdad 1839 pogrom
Mawza Exile 1679-1680
Damascus Affair 1840
Granada Massacre 1066
1834 looting of Safed
Fez massacre 1033
Yemen
"In the late 1160s, the Yemenite ruler 'Abd-al-Nabī ibn Mahdi gave Jews a choice of conversion to Islam or martyrdom."
(893) "Under the Zaydi rule, the Jews were considered to be impure and therefore forbidden to touch a Muslim or a Muslim's food. They were obligated to humble themselves before a Muslim, to walk to the left side, and greet him first. They could not build houses higher than a Muslim's or ride a camel or horse, and when riding on a mule or a donkey, they had to sit sideways. Upon entering the Muslim quarter a Jew had to take off his foot-gear and walk barefoot. If attacked with stones or fists by youth, a Jew was not allowed to fight them. In such situations, he had the option of fleeing or seeking intervention by a merciful Muslim passerby."
Egypt
"In 1300 Sultan Al-Nasir Qalawan ordered all Jews under his rule to wear yellow headgear to isolate the Egyptian Jewish community. This law would be enforced for centuries and later amended in 1354 to force all Jews to wear a sign in addition to yellow headwear. On multiple occasions the ulema persuaded the government to close or convert synagogues. Even major places of pilgrimage for Egyptian Jews such as the Dammah Synagogue were forced to close in 1301. Jews subsequently were excluded from bath houses and were prohibited to work in the national treasury. This repression of the Jewish community would continue for centuries."
and more
"In 1656, all Jews were expelled from Isfahan and forced to convert to Islam because of a common belief that their Jewishness was impure."
"in 1661 they were allowed to revert to Judaism, although they were still required to wear a distinctive patch on their clothing."
muslims made jews wear patches before the nazis did.
THE BRITS took over Baghdad and then did Pogroms. Let's blame the Arabs!
Don't look up what European colonialism had to do with Jewish persecution either that's going to be very inconvenient.
I also clicked on the Damascus Affair 1840 link. Since you didn't, I'll help you out.
Spoiler alert: It's Europe again:
And what about all of those other examples you have conveniently overlooked?
In classic Hasbara fashion this person took a list of Wikipedia links that sounded convenient and did not read them
I read the top and the middle article at random which were fully BS and actually disproved the claims. The quotes to disprove them were provided
A person can't link 50 examples and pretend I have to debunk every single one. Two is plenty.
Next time someone provides a list a good idea for them is to read it themselves to make sure they can actually use it as argument.
"According to Iraqi government and British historical sources violence started when a delegation of Jewish Iraqis arrived at the Palace of Flowers (Qasr al Zuhur) to meet with the Regent Abdullah, and were attacked en route by an Iraqi Arab mob as they crossed Al Khurr Bridge. Iraqi Arab civil disorder and violence then swiftly spread to the Al Rusafa and Abu Sifyan districts, and got worse the next day when elements of the Iraqi police began joining in with the attacks upon the Jewish population, involving shops belonging to it being set on fire and a synagogue being destroyed. Many Jewish girls were gang-raped and children maimed and killed in front of their families."
"Shalom Darwish, the secretary of the Jewish community in Baghdad, testified that several days before the Farhud, the homes of Jews were marked with a red palm print ("Hamsa"), by al-Futuwa youth. Al-Sabawi also instructed Jews in Baghdad to pack suitcases and to wait to be taken to "detention camps" "for their own safety"."
"Two days before the Farhud, Yunis al-Sabawi, a government minister who proclaimed himself the governor of Baghdad, summoned Rabbi Sasson Khaduri, the community leader, and recommended to him that Jews stay in their homes for the next three days as a protective measure. He had planned for a larger massacre, preparing to broadcast a call for the Baghdad public to massacre Jews. However, the broadcast was never made since al-Sabawi was forced to flee the country."
planned and done by muslim iraqis.
not to mention all of the other massacres and anti-semitism cases i've linked.
but it's pretty clear by this point you'll justify any case of anti-semitism by arabs / muslims.
Yes now don't ask yourself the question of why the word BRITISH is in that first sentence.
Once the Brits install a government it is not commanded by Arabs.
someone here didn't read.
the ones who initiated the pogrom weren't part of the british government. they were part of the coup government who took power from the british
nonetheless you're ignoring everything else i linked, like the persecution of yemenite jews.
or the persecution and discrimination against isfahan jews in iran and how they were forced to wear badges under islamic rule. centuries before the nazis.
You're right I did miss some info. It was Nazis and Britis. But the Pogrom happened under the Brits.
it's at the ramp up of WW2 and everyone wanted to control the oil. So Baghdad got a nice amount of Nazi propaganda. And their government overthrown of course.
Now the 1300 one could be true I haven't read it yet. But there I am very much noticing a theme of Europeans showing up
Many of these "Arab" ones were very much pushed on the Arab Jews by Europe.
rashid ali was an iraqi muslim, so was yunis al-sabawi, so were al-futuwa youth that marked jewish houses before the farhud and so were the iraqi mob and police that massacred and raped jews.
arabs aren't infantile human beings with no agency or responsibility.
you wrote that these things only happened in europe. iraq isn't europe.
either way i gave other examples without any kind of european presence. and there are plenty more.
"A curse upon the Jews" must mean something different where you're from.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_the_Arab_world
Jeez wonder why anti-semitism was virtually non-existent before the 20th century. And then suddenly all Arabs became anti-semitic.
Did someone start some kind of hostile ideology that wanted to take over the Arab world using Judaism as a shield?
Even random Moroccans in a cafe can tell you what actually happened
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Are you for real?
This link isn't for you, because you are clearly arguing in bad faith, but for anyone who doesn't actually know better:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_antisemitism
In the Arab world after the Romans were expelled. Which is what our discussion is currently about.
The only bad faith is you trying to find random gocha's.
