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.

Too bad the grievances of these specific terrorists is that if you don't become muslim they'll kill you.
This isn't some fucking oppressed minority group just trying to be a good lil' bean and live their lives. They're radicals that want to genocide people and convert the world to islam by force and threat of death of you don't.
Do you think you should engage with domestic right wing US terrorism? To ask the christo-fascists why they are doing what they're doing and to please stop it? No, they're insidious because they will die believing they're 100% in the right and that you trying to prevent them from a full takeover is being "intolerant."
Fucking insane you people sit here defending the middle east's version of conservative Christian nationalism. Fuck all religious nutter butters, they're the crabs in a bucket trying to revert us to the middle ages so they can have their way with society.
That's funny. They sure seem to leave the Christians in Gaza alone for having forcible conversion as a policy.
Oh right, I forgot. You're full of shit. These guys aren't Al Qaida. In fact they've consistently shut down any attempt at AQ coming into Gaza.
They aren't even saying they want Israel to be a Muslim sharia government. They just want Israel to leave Palestine alone.
The Christian population in Gaza has declined by 2/3 since 2009, when there were about 3,000 total. Today there are fewer than 1000.
Hamas has made a huge push to either get them to convert or leave, and have killed dozens.
And why compare them to al Qaeda? Why not the Taliban?
They have a formal alliance with the Taliban, and both are the governments of their state. Both have pretty much the same platform as well, and both are officially opposed to AQ because AQ competes with them for power.
You just can't stop can you? Two seconds of googling reveals the Christians that left after the blockade blame the Israelis, not Hamas.
