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.
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post 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] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

In the 30's, the Nazis prosecuted all the Jews, but let (some) them live in camps.
In the 20's, Israel (made up predominately by Jews) is prosecuting Palestinians, and they'll be killed just for being alive.
I see no difference between these two. I really hope the world gives the justice Israel deserves and gives the land (all of Israel) to Palestinians, but this is not a perfect world. Nor is it a good world. Fuck, I hate it here.
The treatment is the same, Israel is definitely fascist.
I think the difference would be their long history of conflict, and especially suicide bombers, which killed
over 700 people between 1994 and 2005
What Israel is doing is definitely evil, but if you want to know how they got here, I think it's the people blowing up buses and cafes and such, for about 20 years...
If a group of thugs walked up your street, beat up every family, and said that everything you own is theirs now while the government looks the other way, what would you do?
Probably just strap a bomb to my chest and blow up their wives and children?
I assume you're trying to say that suicide bombers were a good and justified idea?
I would want to kill that "group of thugs" too... Absolutely.
Israel is completely in the wrong and has been ever since it was created.
Don't twist my words.
I don't think that blowing up random people is a moral thing to do ever. I also think it has helped the Israelis dehumanize Palestinians, which is what I was talking about here.
That's how useless the PA is
C’mon what is Pennsylvania going to do?
Thinking you're hating on the wrong people, amigo.
they're collaborators, op. compradors.
The Palestinian authority is providing security to Israel while letting Palestinians getting brutalized by the settler terrorists
Cool. Maybe we post an article about that and make that comment there, then. Kinda doesn't make a lot of sense here, does it?
The propaganda is more effective when it's everywhere
... then draw a through line to it. Blasting out a sound byte without context isn't going to win hearts, especially if it's under something that seems to demonstrate the opposite.
Winning hearts isn't the only goal, it's a kind of larger movement driven by slogans that gains enough cultural momentum to subsume new members. The comments like that are just a kind of virtue signal to bolster the existing converts until new ones happen to fall into it. Like if you see enough half-truths everywhere you look without looking into the claim you'll start to believe it to some extent.
