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.

The sheer gall to bomb a hospital. Fucking sick. I’ll be calling all my representatives tonight to ask them if they really want to continue to enable these war criminals with military aid. The inhumanity is exhausting
They know they fucked up. That's why they're spreading FUD about it being a Hamas rocket or a Hamas HQ or whatever.
If Hamas had rockets of this explosive power, they would be launching them at Israel every day.
How much explosive power?
So the iron dome can make bigger explosions in the sky?
Fuck netanyahoo the war criminal but it’s wild how sure you are that this is how it works lmao. The iron dome hits those rockets with rockets. A bigger ordinance is still gonna go boom when that happens.
Do you have any clue as to what you’re talking about??
Spoiler: if they have an R next to their name, they most certainly do.
Not since I moved thankfully
Hamas put their headquarters in the hospital
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Shifa_Hospital
That’s the one where patients went to after the bombing. The one hit, according to the article, was the Al-Ahli Hospital.
Do you people just like lick up whatever the IDF tells you

I’m just saying. Hamas is a terrorist organization known for lying. They have a clear reason to do so here, and the evidence suggests they are in fact lying. This isn’t to justify a war, it’s to say that they are misleading here.
Do you people just lick up whatever Hamas tells you
The IDF claims this was caused by a mid-fire of Hamas rockets. Both sides have provided the exact same amount of evidence, zero. Maybe wait before hoping back on the anti-Israel bandwagon.
except Israel has already run exactly this playbook in 2014, and yes, they did bomb a hospital.
Check the updated news. Was a misfired rocket by Islamic Jihad
That is one sides claim, the other side claims the opposite. We do not know facts yet and its not helpful to pretend we do.
If we don’t believe the IDF, then maybe we shouldn’t believe Hamas either. Yet this is the 5th post I see claiming Israel bombed the hospital (which is just the statement of Hamas, a terrorist org killing civilians on both sides), with hundreds of upvotes and enraged comments.
you seriously think palestinian islamic jihad is more trust worthy than IDF?
and do you realistically think they will release statemaking them look bad?
surely hamas has claimed responsibility for taking creddit for bombing their own hospitals in the past and NOT blamed it on israelis right?
this instance is biased as fuck.
You seriously think the Palestinians have rockets that can single-handedly destroy hospitals, killing hundreds of people? Can you link me to a single other instance of a rocket doing similar amounts of damage?
No, you can't. Because this is much more consistent with the damage caused by modern munitions manufactured by the US and provided to Israel.
You are biased as fuck.
It's not biased to say "facts are good". I don't think anything, I don't believe anything. I wait for facts and try not to disseminate misinformation. How about you?
Israel isn't known to be honest either. Just look at the killing Shireen Abu Akleh.
Yes and I trust neither side. IDF is historically untrustworthy.
It's the fucking IDF, I would trust Satan if they contradicted him.
Imagine thinking the IDF is trustworthy at all.
You think Israel will say "Yeah, we bombed the hospital and killed hundreds of people"?
The Palestinian Islamic jihad is the second most powerful terrorist group in Gaza.

Islamic Jihad of Palestine specifically. They are in fact a group somewhat separate from Hamas, and even more extreme.
