World News@lemmy.world•Statement on the situation in Iran | IAEAEnglish
22·7 months agoThank you for your input. Even tho I find this to be totally faisable, from what the cradle article provides, I cannot verify much:
- fars looks like it’s an Iranian outlet I personnaly don’t know if I can trust or not, regardless of mbfc
- the informed sources are not named
- I didn’t manage to find the documents mentionned*
Apart from that at some point it mentions that Grossi said in Times of Israel that “We have seen some reports in the press. We haven’t had any official communication about this.”, but it is about Iran stealing Israeli documents.
Anyways, if you or anyone has more on this, please share.
Edit: *I mean deducted, or something

World News@lemmy.world•Macron calls recognising Palestinian state a 'moral duty', says Europe must harden stance on IsraelEnglish
30·8 months agoI would say, it’s much longer than 40 years.
This is what the United Nations, use as starting point:
Palestine was among former Ottoman territories placed under UK administration by the League of Nations in 1922. All of these territories eventually became fully independent States, except Palestine, […]

World News@lemmy.world•Spain scraps purchase of Israeli bullets after internal pressureEnglish
4·9 months agoYes, you are right. In Oct 2023 they said they won’t do military business with Israel. But in 2025:
However, on April 17 as Spaniards geared up for the Easter holiday weekend, the government filed paperwork confirming the deal on the government tenders website. The purchase, worth 6.6 million euros ($7.53 million), includes the acquisition of more than 15 million 9-mm rounds from Israel’s IMI Systems, owned by Elbit Systems (ESLT.TA), opens new tab and represented in Spain by Guardian LTD Israel.
It’s only only after
pressurethreats that the government decided to do as they had pledged in 2023:The decision drew a sharp rebuke on Wednesday from coalition partner Sumar, with one of the groups within Sumar, Izquierda Unida, threatening to withdraw from the minority coalition government.

World News@lemmy.world•Rafah no longer exists. This is part of Israel’s plan to permanently occupy Gaza.English
8·9 months agoThis is not exactly what you asked for, but it’s the closest thing I can think of. The Forensic Architecture site has some accurate info for Gaza, Palestine but they date back to 2024. Still, I think it’s worth keeping an eye out for any new investigation they might do.

World News@lemmy.world•Germany threatens to remove Russian ambassador in row over WWII commemorationsEnglish
35·9 months agoNot too sure how effective this is tho, as a solution.
It seems to me like a diplomatic escalation in the sense that banning the Russian ambassador from attending this commemoration event gives Putin something to instrumentalise anyways, at least for internal consumption. In the same time this move does not apply any kind of actual pressure on Russia. So I honestly don’t know what good can come out of this move.

World News@lemmy.world•EU names seven countries as safe in plan to speed up migrant returnsEnglish
1·9 months agoI think I just understood our main point of difference. Maybe.
For me, the problems in the middle-east / West Asia for example, have been created due to colonialism. More specifically, because eurpean colonisers carved up the area when the Ottoman Empire started to crumble. In a way, I look further back in time to find the root cause, which is not that long ago, if you think about it. Btw, I also consider the US power-house as a problem that derived from european colonialism. Similarly, Australia and Canada even if they don’t seem to have the US power ambitions on global geopolitics.
This is why I also see migration as such a difficult issue, but as you might have noticed I didn’t talk about solutions. The prosperity of western societies was created and is maintained due to the exhaustive exploitation of other parts of the world. I believe before the west addresses that, there can be no solutions, and and-aid legislation (best case scenario that is) cannot help the healing of such deep wounds.

World News@lemmy.world•EU names seven countries as safe in plan to speed up migrant returnsEnglish
1·9 months agoThat is because you are describing the EU as an union of colonizers,
Not at all. Yes they started with their neighbors. You mentioned a couple of examples, another would be Ireland and the UK. Still, some common things tho between european colonisers was their sense of superiority and their brutal practices towards indigenous peoples and their environment.
On the one hand, the current refugees are not coming to Europe from old European colonies, but from Russian ones.
This is not my understanding, for 2 main reasons
- Practically such a huge amount of the world has been colonised by europeans. Btw check out the maps in the wiki page of the colonial empire.
- About the Russia thing, I don’t think so. I found these stats that present a different picture about the countries of origin. See our world in data (sort by Refugee by country of origin). If you have some info that changes significantly this picture, please share.
Edit: I moved around some sentences to make it more coherent. Hopefully.

World News@lemmy.world•EU names seven countries as safe in plan to speed up migrant returnsEnglish
3·9 months agoI also believe that migration, refuge status and asylum are very difficult topics but I don’t agree with the framing you make because it seems to me you present the issue as something that came out of the blue.
For me, the context mainly derives from European colonialism, since this is how global inequalities have been established in the first place. European countries have exhausted the resources from formerly colonised places for their benefit. We also need to examine if this so-called “post-colonial era” has really shifted towards decolonisation or to a neo-colonialism in practice.
Without using taking into consideration these aspects, I don’t think we can have a meaningful conversation on the topic.

World News@lemmy.world•Israeli defense minister says troops will remain in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria indefinitelyEnglish

World News@lemmy.world•Israeli defense minister says troops will remain in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria indefinitelyEnglish

For Gaza, not so sure because it is part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory by Israel, for many decades now.

World News@lemmy.world•Europe pins trade hopes on Italy’s Meloni, its Trump whispererEnglish
1·9 months agoI don’t like the Washington Post neither. After reading a few articles on this topic from other outlets that are compatible with this community’s rule about MBFC, I chose to post this one because it’s content was relatively ok imo.
Maybe I missed a better article? Sure.
At the same time, kinda tragic of the state that western mainstream media are? I would argue, totally.

- 2 journalists were reported missing.

World News@lemmy.world•UN chief demands evacuation of 2,500 Gaza children at 'imminent risk' of deathEnglish
6·1 year agoTo where? Where will they go? Who will take them?
(To) Hospitals
How will they even be let out?
According to the article : “Under this ceasefire agreement, there is supposed to be a mechanism in place for medical evacuations. We’ve still not seen that process spelled out,”













I also think that the Israeli attacks are related to Iran’s nuclear program but I don’t think they are related to this alleged leak. Here is a 25 min long al jazeera podcast for more on this:
Why is Israel attacking Iran now?
