World News
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Because the Palestinians were displaced from their native land?
So that justifies hamas committing atrocities?
so that justifies the bombing of civillians?
Answer my question first.
Both sides are terrorists, yes. Glad we could agree on this.
You still don't answer the question. Is terrorism justified?
I’ll answer that.
No it is not justified.
Can I understand why Hamas would want to do this, sure , because I have empathy by the bucket load and can understand that having your land taken from you over decades and nothing changes could leave them to believe they have no choice.
Is it still wrong? It sure is.
Does that give Israel the right to use white phosphorus on the most densely populated place on Earth? I think not. What do you think?
Thans for at least an answer.
Oh, you asked me a question...
So I haven't checked the whole story on the Willy Pete. I can't conceive of a reason to use it, frankly. The reason the US used it in Fallujah, Mosul, and Raqqa was to clear canopies sometimes put over the streets in that part of the world. I wouldn't think it's anymore terrifying than airplanes dropping JDAM and such. I'll take a look.
I don’t know why my comment is not showing, nor your reply (only shows as a reply in my inbox but not on the post). You didn’t answer my question?
I've edited and answered. This sub seems to have a problem with me
It's probably because you're a dickhead.
Youre not the first and probably not the last. But congrats
Last to call you a dickhead? Nah, I doubt that very much. I suspect you've got at least a couple of thousand of those to go before you get close to the end.
Do you ever become less boring?
Idk, if someone came and took over my house and told me to fuck off I'd probably be pretty pissed about it for awhile.
Answer the question. Is terrorism justified?
I graduated a long ass time ago I don't respond to "answer my question first!" when I make a statement.
One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. I would respond very poorly to someone coming and taking my home, even 50 years later.
So, how would you respond to the same situation?
I'd answer the question or be gone,
I answered yours, now answer mine.
How would you respond if someone showed up at your home and said "oh this is mine now" and took it?
Tries historical rhetoric and fails so falls back on last week's tragedy. No one is defending the civilians murders by Hamas, Israel created modern Hamas.
Let me help you with the answer to my question. Nothing justifies terror acts that Hamas did. NOTHING
No one here is justifying Hamas you absolute goober
Unrelated to the Palestine situation, when I meet these argumentative losers on lemmy and block and report. I want to keep this place from becoming a cesspool and I recommend you do the same.
I'm watching very closely. I recommend you investigate the difference between Hamas and Gaza
Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields.
Yes
Because both sides are overly devoted to the same religion that worships the same once-fertile land that is now just almost useless desert?
