What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

The institution later said it never intended to get 'political'

they should just post that israel gets a pass for genocide, since that is apparently how it goes

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 37 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

It's actually quite a bit worse than the headline. They deleted the post saying 'never again' applies to all people, and explained that some people might have thought they included Palestinians in "all people" when they said that, and they officially said they didn't want to give that impression.

“We are against genocide”

‘I can’t believe you hate Israel, you antisemite!’

This feels like a rather large self-report.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

Feels like the point is to be overt. It is dominance theatre, an effort to demonstrate to protestors that nothing can stop them.

It would be a shame to let them have their way.

Never again*

We are done as a society. When being against genocide is considered "political" there is no going back.

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Being opposed to actions of a state(or for them) is inherently political

personally I'd go with something like: 'When being against genocide is considered controversial/anti-semitic there is no going back.'

[–] duhlieluh@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 hours ago

it does not have to be political to be against murder at all. just because it has implications in politics does not mean the topic or opinion itself is political.

the fact that a state is comitting the act is obviously political, but that does not magically make the opinion "murder bad" a political stance.

advocating for or defending genocide is an inherently evil thing to do. i think that is natural law.

Who exactly is not included in the quote "never again"? Make it official. What group of people is it OK to genocide?

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 18 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Insert the meme of the goose pursuing the Holocaust Museum angrily demanding "who doesn't it apply to, Holocaust Museum? WHO DOESN'T IT APPLY TO?" Here.

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 3 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

Only really applies to the the Zionist assholes reading this now I suppose it is obvious

Thankfully, the museum itself is more important than the Israeli government, they made the right decision here.

The zionist approved version of the post
