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.

No I believe that they were originally from that spot between Egypt and Israel until they moved to Egypt and then to Israel after they committed genocide and killing the people that lived there before them. Then they got booted out of Israel and lived other places. They have less claim to the land than the people that were there in the 1800s. Have you not read the Bible?
Given that answer, and that Palestinians don't currently live in the bits of the region that Israel occupies (whether legally or illegally) it seems you understand that if you leave a place you don't have an eternal right to move back there, but that nevertheless for some length of time you retain such a claim.
I think that's the key to understanding why it can get a bit complicated...
It is only complicated because of after ww2 the allies decided to carve up land that they did not own and did not ask the people who lived there where boarders should be. They also kicked out those that lived in Palestine and gave it to people who had not lived there in over 400 years. When outsiders who don't live in an area make decisions for those that do shit goes wrong.
People say this all the time but this is not the reason it's complicated. There were already hundreds of thousands of Jews living in the region by that point - Zionist migration to Palestine started in the 19th century, and that had been the cause of tensions for decades already. Hundreds of thousands more wanted to leave the Europe that had just tried to murder them again. If the Allies had just decided to bugger off and leave them to it the result would have been far from peaceful. As it was, they tried to achieve a compromise through the UN. They failed at that task but not because they "decided to carve up land." Britain in particular refused to implement the partition plan recommended by the UN special committee because it was not acceptable to the Arabs.
In 1947 jews made up 32% of the population in Palestine 630,000 out of 1,970,000. In 1948 jews made up 82% 716,700 out of 872,700. Somebody must have moved over a million people out of Palestine to make Israel. Forcibly removing people that had lived there since it was owned by the Ottoman Empire would make them angry and wanting their land back.
Zionism among jews who never left Palestine was not popular, Israel couldn't exists with only the local jews alone. European jews who lost the connection to the land had are the reason why Israel was created and had zero right to the land
So do you think that now, in 2025, Jewish families who moved to Palestine in 1925 have no right to be there?
I never said that. I said the Zionist foreigners back then has no right to impose a state on the local population . Their descendent can't be displaced because they where born in Israel
It's like saying that European settlers in America had no right to take control on most of the land back in the 15 centuries is a call to expel all current Americans back to Europe
ok
This isn't ancient history, this is so within our memorable lifetime. Palestinians were slaughtered and forced out within living memory and a lot of them are still alive and have the keys to they're stolen homes.
Jacob from New York does not have the same claim to the land his ancestors occupied thousands of years ago, as the Palestinian who built the literal house he stole after living on the land occupied by her ancestors for all recorded history.
It's not complicated at all.
You left out the part when Israelis continuing forcing Palestinians off their land to this day.
It's a bit different when you're forcibly removed from your home, no?
Yes, but I think that supports restarting from the 1940s, not from the 1700s. By 1947 there were hundreds of thousands of Jews living in the territory that now forms Israel and Palestine.
They were moved there by European colonialists who didn't give a shit about the natives who already lived there.
"Moved there by European colonialists"? Which colonialists were these who were picking up European Jews and dropping them off in Palestine?
Jews mostly moved there due to getting sick of being repeatedly pogromed in Europe. So if by "moved there by" you mean "repeatedly forced out by" then kinda.
After WW2? Are you kidding? Read a history book
