I couldn't find anything on it when I looked it up, sounds like fake news

It's clearly a screenshot from Instagram

The part about the DPRK only recognizing Palestine and not Israel has been true for decades, the death penalty bit is up in the air though. Haven't found any confirmation on that, just a news article citing KCNA without linking a source.

Fake news Instagram screenshot

Search gives this unknown site saying it is true. https://gofrixty.com/north-korea-imposes-death-penalty-for-promoting-zionism/

They claim the source is "The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA)" though they don't link the report itself so I'm not sure if this is true or false.

The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) released a statement calling Israel an illegitimate state, deepening the country’s already strong opposition to Israel.

North Korea doesn't recognize Israel though.

Ig it's memetic in the literal sense of this is the smallest possible unit of culture to convey the info. But yeah it's not really funny it's just news (good news ofc but news nonetheless).

Well the poster has "entertainment" in the name so it‘s definitely satire.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago

The DPRK has been anti-Zionist for decades. I don't know if the death penalty is accurate, but the DPRK only recognizes Palestine, not Israel.

This comment section is disgusting.

Yeah so many people simping for a genocidal rogue state that casually breaks international law. One that vows to kill every single member of an entire ethnic group.
