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 just hand waved a bunch of shit and replied with "No You." This position holds no water.
Idk man, they remind me of Hezbolla. Terrorist organization with social programs. They wanted the destruction of Israel and on multiple occasions used the phrase "exterminate the Jews".
Hamas is an evil organization, by evil I mean genocide, apartheid, terror, and fear being their governing styles. They're just less successful at their genocide than China is.
I don't know what to tell you, but not Hamas or the Israeli government are interested in peace, in fact many members of the current government were anti-arab terrorists beforehand, and now some guy who got his kicks murdering Muslims in mosques, and praising soldiers who openly execute children as heroes is in charge of the police, and a "settler"(see imperial expansion) in charge of the military, and of course the "Palestinians aren't even people" PM they have.
this is what racism and ethnostate bullshit brings
That’s well put, and I couldn’t agree more.
supporters of Hamas or the Israeli government got mad
But they have no power. They are in a glorified prison and that prison keeps getting smaller. They want to exterminate the people keeping them in that prison. How on earth does that make them anything like one of the 2 most powerful countries in the world trying to make a genetically homogeneous china?
Israel unilaterally left gaza around 20 years ago.
I’ve given you as much of a response as your comment was worth. Have a good day.
Heaven forbid you examine yourself. I can have good day because my country has a military and government to protect my human rights. I'm sure yours does too. Palestinians don't. The only thing they have left to fight for their own humanity is terrorism. But that's not simple, so lets just call them evil.
I’d suggest taking your own advice, buddy.
I did and it turns out Geopolitics is just as simple as Trump says! Thanks for setting me straight, I thought that a thousand year conflict was complicated but if I just call one side evil it gets so much simpler. Thank you so much, buddy.
The purpose of using more words than 'no you' is expressed in the comment.
