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.
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.

"Big thing too big, politicians only think small, not big. Me not want to say what I really think".. neither do I Andy, because you'd have me kicked out of the country just like your predecessor. Same shit different asshole.
I guess the pile of dead children is probably too big for him to acknowledge now. Where do you find such morally empty sad disgusting bitch ass fucking losers?
I'm somewhat suspicious of the way the Guardian didn't actually publish the interview itself, but just their journalist's writeup of it. We're not told what the question he answered actually was, just what it was "about", and then the headline writers of the outlets quoting that quote take it a step further into implying that he's a full-on genocide denier.
Another fucking coward.
Coward
Israel is doing exactly what it was made to do, why would the USA and UK betray their own creation? Especially since it's working.
So.... It being called or not being called a genocode is the divide to where killing civilans matters? Interesting
The UK were instrumental in giving birth to this settler-colony by issuing the Balfour declaration in 1917, taking Palestine over after World War 1, arresting and executing Palestinian nationalists during the Arab uprising in 1936, and training the Irgun and Hagana Jewish terror gangs and then promptly high tailing it out of there when the going got rough. So its no surprise that British politicians are hand in glove supporting this current genocide.
Not that the 1917 Balfour declaration was well written or overly centered on justice-- "The Balfour Declaration" was merely a very short letter from a british secretary to Lord Rotheschild after all (to curry favor), not an official policy document or government statement-- but zionists pretended it was more of a policy declaration than it was. Israel immediately violated what protections the Balfour letter imagined.
Balfour specified that "nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine".
Zionists immediately launched into violating civil and religious rights in minute #1 of the Israeli states existence and theyve never stopped for a single second of that states existence. There has never been an Israel there that wasnt based on hatred, racism, and vicious oppression that massively violates civil and religious rights.
You also said the UK trained Irgun. I think you are mistaken. Irgun was primarily trained by instructors from the Polish Armed Forces in 1938 and 1939, with supplementary instruction received at the Military Engineers School in Fascist Italy. The training was facilitated through partnerships forged by Vladimir Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Zionist movement. Training Irgun was a nazi project. Irgun then became the IDF. Heres an interesting read on that: https://fpif.org/running-war/
Irgun was attacking the Brits with terrorism attacks right before Israel was formed. Heres a timeline of those many attacks against the British.

I'd argue that Israel was as much or more a nazi creation as it was the UK.
If you call our Israeli influence across national boundaries you are called an antisemite and a conspiracy theorist. But here we are, planting zionists in all the worlds leadership positions despite in being unpopular with the voters of "democracies"
hey guys, this labour leader is not better. Let's allow "Reform" to win so that they can do the same thing AND purge britain of all the brown people and gay people.
Maybe you can get your straw man to vote for labour!
It's just diet genocide not the same thing.
The UN has called it genocide. I don't even think we can joke about diet genocide anymore. I'm not really sure what other international authority on this type of stuff needs to call it genocide for people to stop tiptoeing around it.
The UN is a joke tho.
Tells me everything I needed to know about him
Splendid, another twat.
It never gets better, the next one is always worse
He wouldn't be the next in line if he did
Very enthusiastic slaughter of civilians will do too. Hello Starmer v2.
Sure, and 9/11 was just a navigation error.
More like a navigation success, amirite?
It's what we in the bizz call penetration testing.
What a stupid asshole.
A second Keir, and just as genocidal
But good at talking unlike Keir
Wanted to say the same. From the frying pan into the fire. Labour will get wrecked in the next elections.
Only for the similarly Israel funded Reform to win, because while we keep fighting on whether the next candidate is anti-Israel enough, Reform manages to unite the dumbfucks of the country.
And if Brexit has proven anything it's that the damn country has way too many dumbfucks who'll gladly throw away everything just so a guy who blames the "right" people for the country's troubles gets to be PM.
So, lesser of two evils is the game? If that's the game we're playing, than will you be voting for Reform or Conservative? Because we can't vote for third parties like Labour. That would be throwing your vote away. The two top parties in the UK right now are Reform and Conservative. If you believe that red lines don't matter, and that all that matters is choosing between one of the two parties that will win, then that means your choice currently is between Reform or Conservative. Labour is a third party. Labour is not a valid choice for anyone trying to be strategic and choose the lesser of two evils.
So, will you be voting Reform or Conservative next election? Or suddenly will the lesser evil no longer apply?
The only way anyone can support Labour right now is if they reject the lesser evil approach. Of course, if you do that, then you have no place whining about the red lines other voters have.
I'm sorry that I draw the line at genocide.
Same here, we are the worst. Basically terrorists for resisting fascism and genocide. We should be ashamed of our racism.
anywho.. should we make tshirts? bbq maybe?
So why you are giving reform and easy win? Labour is to blame of reform wins
i mean, people could try voting Green, no ? fascist or fascist lite it is ffs
Fine, call it a "shadow" genocide, package it with the Epstein files, and let's get the ball rolling on ridding the world leadership of pedophiles!
Or, I'm guessing, we won't.
Or maybe just call it a war?
What a disgusting excuse for a human being.
At least, not until they're all gone. /s
