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.
-
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.

This is my proposal to end the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Egypt will be given the West Bank enlarged by land equivalent to the Gaza Strip. In return, Israel will be given the Gaza Strip and land at least 3 times larger than the West Bank in the Sinai Peninsula. Some of the land will be adjacent to water so Israel can build desalination plants. The Sinai is inhospitable, and Egypt doesn’t have the technology to develop it, but Israel does. With its new land, Egypt can give it to the Palestinians, make it a state within Egypt, or whatever it wants.
How about we abolish the idea of ethnostates at all and a policy of reparation amd reform is put into place as an actually democratic state is created. And Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, and Netanyahu are schekht. They aren't kosher regardless of ritual, but maybe it'll purify them at least a little bit.
Ethnostates should not exist, but countries want to maintain a cultural identity. That's the reason large influxes of migrants are causing resentment in Europe.
Are you aware that Bedouin exist? That an area not being solid fields and cities on a map doesn't mean people can just be resettled there without consequences? How Palestinians feel about Egypt, by and large?
There are Bedouins in the Sinai but not many. Israel can employ them. Do Palestinians prefer to be ruled by Egypt or Israel?
edit: Actually this isn't worth dignifying with a response in the first place.
Ah yes, more ethnic cleansing because "hey, they're all Arab anyways". Some of the most racist shit I've seen today.
What? Under my proposal Palestinians would have a homeland although under Egyptian control.
A homeland under someone else's control isn't a homeland.
Yes, it is. A place that is rented is a home. Palestine could be a state within Egypt.
Nah egypt return nothing. Israel return everything they occupied after 67
Egypt isn't returning anything. It will be exchanging land in the Sinai for the West Bank and land equivalent to Gaza.
The west bank is palestinians, rgypt has no right to get it. Israel is illegally colonizing and occupying other people land, they have to return it all. Israel want to get it all with their grester Israel project.
Under my proposal Egypt is getting the West Bank in exchange for giving Israel a portion of the Sinai. How do you plan to get Israel to return it all?
Again israel want to steal more land. Colonizers was always forced to return land
How do you plan to force Israel to return land?
Resistance, bds and continue to push countries to stop defending Israel.
The US won't stop supporting Israel. My proposal would give Palestinians a homeland although controlled Egypt.
Again israel want to colonize more land from arab countries. Never in historty settler colonial Power left without being forces to. Your proposal is dumb
Under my proposal, Israel wouldn't be forced to move but enticed to move by being offered more land in the Sinai.
Again israel want to steal more land , not replacing some land with other. Are you a troll or what?
No, Israel would get a piece of the Sinai in exchange for giving the West Bank enlarged by an area equivalent to Gaza to Egypt.
Again .Israel is a settler colonial power that want to steal more land. They will accept nothing till they are forced to. Your idiotic proposal not only it will not be accepted by israel but also not by palestinian and egyptian. Palestinians want their own indepedenent state and egypt economical situation can't manage millions additional people
Israel could accept my proposal because it would be given a large piece of the Sinai. It could develop the land and become a more populous country. Egypt would have peace at its border and avoid Palestinian refugees displaced by Israel. Palestinians would have a homeland although controlled by Egypt. Palestinians survive now, why would they be an economic burden to Egypt? Israel won't agree to an independent Palestinian state and who will make it change its mind?
Israel will not accept your dumb proposal because they want to take everything by force. Why would they accept to return the west bank in exchange of sinai when they believe they can keep the west bank and still take the sinai?
They're not going to take the Sinai. Had they wanted to, they would have done it. Israel has the most powerful military in the Middle East.
They will. Right now they didn't end the full extermination of Gazan and the west bank. Egypt is still useful for them to act like jail guard for gazan. Because the peace deal between iarael and egypt, israel ca close the rafah border at will.
I dont think Egypt wants the palestinians, unfortunately
I don't think Palestinian want to be ethenically cleansed to egypt especially when israel want greater israel which would include egypt
If Israel takes over Palestinian land, they're going somewhere. My proposal would give them a homeland under Egyptian control.
If we return Palestinian lands to Palestinians, Israelis have to go somewhere, as well.
They would return to Israel, but how do you plan to get Israelis to leave? Under my plan, Israel would get land in the Sinai.
I'm sorry, but your plan is just letting Israeli perform another Nakba, and that's horrible. If that's the level of planning you're coming up with, we might as well just have the whole world militarily force Israelis out of the area. Making Palestinians lose more of their land is the last thing we want.
There are not many Bedouins in the Sinai. Israel can employ them.
