Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

So does this mean Israel is winning? Does this mean they're on track to accomplishing their goals? Once they're finished here they'll just immediately crown themselves eternal hegemon of the middle east and everything will be okay for them?
Everyone who supports Israel deserves to be oppressed and live in fear every fucking day of their lives. Trap them all into slums with no water or electricity, do to them what they've done to Palestinians. It's only right.
A lot of videos, articles, and academics were exclaiming this is the end of Israel. But the US is determined to see this through because any breaks are an admittance that most of the government, legislative, administrative, executive, elected, appointed, and mid level officers were complicit and enabled genocide.
This is a fight over logistics, and Israel has US resources at its disposal.
They plan to get Hamas to surrender, occupy Gaza, cleanse the rest and hide the evidence and investigators, journalists, activists will be barred from inspections. Census, forged.
Fuck this. Now this is giving me the impression that the Resistance is on the way to total and utter destruction and that Israel is literally untouchable because of their benevolent god-kings the fucking Amerikkkans. Israel has nothing to worry about as long as the America's got their back right? They can just cruise to victory at this point? All the Zionazis and fucking demons have every right to be smug because there is no possibility of defeat?
All I can think about now is just taking revenge on an individual level, sock every Zionist scumbag I meet in the face, maybe encourage others to do the same, organize groups and drag them onto the streets and just beat them senseless, they deserve worse than beating, but a beating's all I can think of. Hell going to prison or getting killed for it might be worth it just to make these fuckers suffer.
I think that is their rationale; I didn't mean to imply that I believe this but it is on the back of my mind that this is a grim possibility.
Don't destroy your life to spite theirs. Spite their life by keeping consistent course of reminding them that their ideology demanded genocide and demanded it be normal. Don't let it be normal.
I'm not sure how much that would matter. These freaks are absolutely proud of committing a genocide, and if they win, then that's all that would matter to the wouldn't it?
There will be no justice for them. The best we can work for is a world wherein such tragedies no longer occur. And that will require organization, not well meaning but impotent individual action.
