    David Ben-Gurion the founder of Israel wrote in his diary in 1948 that he wants the northern border of Israel to be the Litani river in Lebanon. This was always the goal and they won’t stop.

    Rewrite for truthiness: Israel declares itself above international law - announces it will keep stolen land because “God” loves them most. Such a bunch of cunty fucks.

    It’s called annexing, not “taking over”, It’s just violent robbery at a national scale. Stealing another country’s land because might makes right to these psychopaths.

    A few years down the line, Israeli settlers come over in all this unused land, and a few years after that, a new buffer zone in Lebanon is needed to protect those settlers and so it goes

      Global climate change will make everything uninhabitable and kill anyone who hasn’t fled long before then.

            Hezbollah participated in Iran’s defensive war against Israel. They “started” it in the sense that Britain started WWII. Also, you know, Israel was committing ceasefire violations on a regular basis and still had Lebanese territory under occupation.

              And Hezbollah was committing ceasefire violations by rearming and rebuilding positions below the Litani.

              So Hezbollah has valiantly thrown themselves at Israel’s flank to help protect the honorable theocratic regime in Iran. I’m sure the people in Lebanon being displaced and killed because of it will do so with a smile

                No, they started a war of aggression with the goal of rendering Iran a failed state, in order to further their goal of total regional domination and expansion of israel’s borders. Anyone with half a brain (i.e. not you) can see that they won’t stop after Iran, so it’s now or never.

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
