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.

This is a simple oppressed people fighting back against Zionist settler colonialists.
Staying in a fascist ethnostate is a choice that Israelis make, and it's fucked up that the children's parents do so.
Simple people is correct. You might want to look up Hamas's approval rating.
Both sides here are evil. We're just debating which circle of hell they're going to.
The brave Palestinians aren't going to allow themselves to get ethnically cleansed without a fight. Both sides are not evil only the israelis are.
Rah rah...GOOOO TEAM!!!
Taking hostages and bombing civillians is not fighting back against the settlers. If the actually did it they would attack the settlers and no innocents. The IDF and israel government are committing a genocide against palestinians but at the same time Hamas is attempting one against israelitea. They are the same level of monsters, just one is stronger than the other.
Their attacks were extremely targeted at IDF soldiers. Hamas civilian casualty rate is far lower than the avarage American rate. Let alone the israeli rate
Only 29 of the 1200 killed were children. It's very clear they avoided killing them.
Meanwhile israel has genocided 6000 children already.
Gaza is literally a fascist ethnostate while Israel is the most ethnically diverse country within thousands of miles. And Hamas's method of "fighting back" is murdering thousands of innocents and rejecting any form of peace. You explicitly support terrorism?
gaza doesn't have the autonomy that comes with being a state - the borders and ports are completely controlled by the IDF. Its also about half children by population. Its essentially more similar to a concentration camp for ethnic minorities than it is a state.
Gaza has all kinds of ethnicities and doesn't discriminate between religions. There are plenty of Christians living there.
Meanwhile israel is a Zionist apartheids ethno-state where people of one religion have more rights than others.
There were about 3000 christians in 2007, now down to 1000, or less. That is under 2% of the population.
Christians in the Gaza strip were victims of targeted attacks, bombings and murders. Hamas approved.
Plenty of christians, my ass. A bit more and you'll be yelling about a lively and safe LGBTQ community.
This website is plastered with antisemitic propaganda. People will believe whatever they want to.
