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.

If Israel wanted to end this they could. They'd get their hostages back and they'd get to mourn their dead.
Instead they immediately moved to starve millions of people to spite, what Wikipedia claims is (ie. a likely exaggerated) 20,000 Hamas members, of which Israel can only count one to be officially killed by their actions so far.
They're now talking of a "final solution" for the "palestine problem". Half are already homeless, trapped beside the border crossings that israel bombs if not to their liking. How long until Israel is either allowed to enact their "final solution" or instigates a regional conflict between countries trying to prevent that?
Hamas could end the suffering if they cared about Palestinians, by surrendering.
Hope the millions who will die in the following days make you feel fulfilled that you chose this mindset. History will not absolve you.
History should have teached Palestinians a lesson or two about aggression and terrorism. They should have understood they will only hurt themselves with those.
Real estate. Gaza is full of prime beachfront property. What exactly do you think the object of ethnic cleansing is?
You asked why and I gave you the answer in the simplest terms possible. You educate yourself. European colonizers have spent the last 500 years destroying people around the world. We have an idea of what this shit looks like by now.
Except Israelis are not European colonizers. They've been there as long as the Arabs and many Muslim recognize that.
The more I’m on the internet, the more I notice comments that start off like this are usually wrong and the poster is insecure.
Your arguments should be able to stand on their own merits. Insulting as though you're already correct just makes you look weak and unsure of yourself.
As you get older, this becomes clearer.
Excuse me? The dude asked a question, I answered it and my reward was to be insulted multiple times. That mother fucker doesn't deserve a pot to piss in.

Dude Israel is run by religious extremists. If they gave a fuck about peace they wouldn't have sabotaged every attempt at a peace deal with Palestine.
If they didn't want to wipe out Palestinians they wouldn't support and protect illegal settlers.
The motivation of right wing Israelis has been clear from the very beginning. They believe that land belongs to one religious group only and they won't stop until that belief is fully realized.
The more I'm on the internet, the more I notice comments that start off like this are usually wrong and the poster is insecure.
Lol, okay buddy.
land?
imagine being this guy lol
A lot of ha's in a thread underneath a picture of a bunch of dead kids. Maybe tone it down chucklefuck, simp for israel in a meme thread.
It's alright pal, yablewit.
To drive Palestinians further off the small amount of land allotted to them?
Same shit they've been doing with their settlements, but at a quicker pace this time.
Best be quiet when adults are speaking
