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.

No doubt this stemmed from here https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/policing-thought-french-bill-renewed-forms-antisemitism-accused-silencing-israel-critics
Israeli people seen to have embedded themselves in almost every (large) countries politics. It's also being noticed and will no doubt cause a massive push back.
Is this what happened in the lead up to WW2? Obviously without the existence of the state of Israel
No, the Jewish people did not exert nearly the same influence as Israel does today despite the propaganda of the time claiming otherwise.
Is there any way to verify that now? My understanding is that Zionists bankrolled the war to accelerate the creation of official state of Israel
To be frank this theory you are positing is absurd.
Did a disparate group of people connected by religion have the same influence as the entire modern state of Israel? Absolutely not.
You are the one linking it to an entire religion. Zionists have long predated Israel and have had significant power. That's literally why Israel exists!
How is that your understanding? What information or sources did you base that on?
I'm out and about right now but I'm surprised you don't know about the Haavara agreement and the ongoings of banks at the time
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haavara_Agreement
https://www.nytimes.com/1995/02/22/business/worldbusiness/IHT-deutsche-bank-admits-it-helped-hitler-confronting.html
Not the most fab sources but I'm travelling and have barely a bar of signal
Are you fucking sick in the head?
Hell no they didn't. Hitler and crew didn't need any help massacring everything that moved, and they were backed by German moneyed interests (you know, the people that stood to gain from his rule), not a worldwide Jewish conspiracy. In the first place, WWII didn't contribute nearly as much as you'd expect to the creation of Israel; if anything it made the British acquiesce to Palestinian demands to secure their support. WWII was the culmination of European great power politics; besides, interwar Poland was one of Zionists' most important patrons, and its loss almost destroyed the whole project.
Zionists were at work well before WW2, which is where the Nazis were actively helping set up the beginnings of Israel
Zionists took the wealth of Jews in Germany and did not let them take it to Palestine. This funded efforts leading to and including WW2
