What is global news?
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.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
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.

Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

It's quite something. I have supported Israel for all my life (and I am an old fart).
But now, if Israel was to disappear from the face of Earth I wouldn't give a fuck.
They cry 'antisemitism' at any criticism (of the state), I truly don't know anyone around me who takes word antisemitism seriously anymore, or cares for it. These idiots completely ruined it.
They don't understand that they will reap what they sow, eventually. I suppose these psychopathic, narcissistic cunts (talking about their leaders) just don't care about future generations.
And we call ourselves "intelligent beings" π
They really have, huh? Now it's been diluted to mean "critical of Israel's government." It's like how "terrorist" in the US means "critical of the US government" now.
Here in the Netherlands there is two kinds of antisemitism now - the regular kind which still is terrible and the 'what Israel calls antisemitism' which doesn't hold any meaning anymore. They've called everyone anti-semitic by now. The UN, the ICC, many major pilitical parties, jews protesting against genocide, the dutch police after investigating crimes comitted by Israeli citizens. You are right and we should be wary to take Netanyahu's diluted definition serious, because there still is real antisemitism and if we're not careful the (in my pov justified) hatred of the Israeli government will transgress to jews who have nothing to do with the genocide of Palestine. And yes, we should similarly rejects Trumps definition of terrorist.
I too am an old fart who always supported Israel. However, at this point I'd go further than you. If Israel was to disappear from the face of the Earth, I'd consider it a good thing.
Israel wasn't really much different at any point in time. The only difference is that now they are doing it on a bigger scale.
While that's true, they had me suckered for a long time.
Kudos to you to see through them.
