        As a leftist, I seek anyone’s right to practice their faith or lack thereof freely and safely, yours, his, satan’s, doesn’t matter.

        I can condemn a murderous act without condemning an entire culture for the acts of one person, no more than I’d demonize every white person for Trump fucking kids or every Israeli for Benny’s love of bombing hospitals.

          In Germany, 1 or 2 years ago, the political party ‘Die Linke’ (translates literally to ‘The Left’) held a summer fest to which they invited Hamas-Supporters. 'Nuff said.

            'Nuff said to reveal you as either naive enough or disingenuous enough to be pushing nonsense Israeli narratives designed to improve public perception of Israel by increasing islamophobia in the US,UK, and EU.

            “Hamas Supporters” has nothing to do with what you originally claimed and is a disingenuous description of people opposed to the genocide in Occupied Palestine.

    This shows Merz is correct in restricting immigration. The AfD will certainly exploit this tragedy.

      The AfD will certainly try to exploit this by pretending there is a causal chain that leads directly from immigration of any kind to tragedies like this. No need to do it for them already before they even started.

      PS:

      Police announced the attacker was a German citizen, born and raised in the country.

          Oh fuck right off with this shit. Last time when some fuck in Germany started measuring people’s generational blood, he had to paint the wall with his brain in the end, and that was the only good thing he did.

            Merz’s immigration policy is based on needed skills not generation blood. I’m curious as to how Abdul Ballout’s parents were admitted into Germany.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
