Is it for the hostages the Palestinians took or the ones the Israelis took?
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.
-
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.

in honor of the 132 hostages — 128 of them abducted on October 7 and four who have been held for nearly a decade — still in terrorist captivity in Gaza
Nothing about the Palestinians in captivity in Israel.
It could also be for the closeted queer Palestinians routinely blackmailed by Israeli intelligence into acting as spies.
I genuinely read the headline and thought "Good on them for standing up for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians imprisoned in Gaza", and then I realised the truth.
If you call it administrative detention you're just allowed to take hostages without getting any criticism.
I legit thought this was from c/theonion
I immediately thought this was the Onion. Sigh.
TIL they have a pride parade in Tel Aviv.
They love branding pride as something Israeli, but outside of Tel Aviv the country is terribly homophobic, in particular with the current fascist government.
It is a propaganda ruse to be more palatable to western liberals
So countries aren't allowed to have differences between the city and the countryside? Same could be said about many western countries.
Tel Aviv is not the only Israeli city... Thinking of the area in a classical rural-city divide doesn't work anyways, because you don't have the "lived in my village seen nothing else since 10 generations" families, given how most came to steal the land just two generations ago.
Tel Aviv is not the only Israeli city...
And I never said that. It is the one with the most liberal international reputation though.
Thinking of the area in a classical rural-city divide doesn't work anyways, because you don't have the "lived in my village seen nothing else since 10 generations" families
The rural-city divide is not about people staying in the same place for generations, otherwise the us wouldn't have one. It's about progressive and traditional values. And Israel does have geographical differences in that regard.
Anything else?
Link? This headline doesn't say anything useful...
Thank you for the update.
If only their beloved prime minister would agree to a ceasefire
Netanyahu isn't that popular among Israelis. Far less popular than the actions in Gaza, for example.
This is on the level of Spacey's coming out story.
