Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Read this and then reconsider:

Sounds like Israel should spend less money committing genocide and more money helping victims of it.
I'm sure one third of everyone lives in poverty
What a weird reply. Average poverty rate in Israel is 16.9%:

Almost twice as high points towards significant hardships for Holocaust survivors.
Global average is 46.9%, by the way (but Israel is relatively rich, so it doesn't make sense to compare it to most of the world):

Maybe they should stop all the genocidin' if they want to get out of poverty... can't squeeze money from a stone
