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.

You don't remember what happened do you? Can you name one atrocity that the brotherhood did in Egypt?
Irrelevant. Are all Palestinians in the Muslim Brotherhood? Unless they all are, it doesn't matter what the Muslim Brotherhood did.
It seems like you're doing a racist "you can't trust a Palestinian" thing to me.
How is it irrelevant? It directly caused Egypt's current policies.
You keep refusing to answer my question. You are not here in good faith.
I'm arguing in good faith. You're ignoring the atrocities committed in recent memory. People in Egypt lost family to the Brotherhood's actions and they're unwilling to forget that.
You still haven't answered my question. So no, you're not. If you were, you would have answered it the first time I asked it.
I did answer it.
No you did not. For the last time: Are all Palestinians in the Muslim Brotherhood?
No of course not all Palestinians (or all Gazans) in the Muslim Brotherhood. But the risk of Hamas sneaking through is too high for Egypt to tolerate.
Sort of like how the risk of Al Qaeda sneaking into the U.S. was too high to tolerate after 9/11 and that's why we should deny all Muslims U.S. citizenship to this day, right?
That's an opinion a lot of people had in 2011, ten years after the attack. And the Muslim Brotherhood killed more people in Egypt in its reign of terror than AQ did in 9/11.
Once again, you didn't answer my question. I didn't ask what opinion "a lot of people had." I'm not talking to them. Why do I have to keep asking you questions multiple times?
