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.

And you are on almost every single post saying some of the most deranged shit on all of Lemmy about this conflict.
Every day I know I'm going to see something from you that is going to up the ante on justifying human suffering so you can get your rocks off.
Then block me - it is as easy as that to stay in your echo chamber.
You conveniently forget that Hamas brought all those deaths on the Palestinian civilians. Hamas NEEDS all those pictures and videos of dead civilians, so they chose to put their launch sites/storages/command centers in or near civilian buildings - and of course they dress like civilians.
You seem to know exactly what a morally upright person like yourself would do, if it was in Israel’s shoes. So tell us: What would YOU personally do, to stop the still constant terror attacks by Hamas and also to free the hostages?
Someone call @dumdum666 a whaaa-mbulance, so he can go get all that pro-genocide crying checked out. Please do make sure to consult which hospital is a safe/non-military target before the driver leaves though. Otherwise things could get awkward...
… writes the armchair activist, probably from an US american suburb, that condones Hamas Terror attacks against civilians, as long as they are Israelis.
So maybe you should come to the Hospital as well?
We don't use the hospital here for different reasons. If I'm an armchair activist then what are you?
What I am? Someone that is quite intolerant of Intolerance and Hate. Of which you are spreading quite a lot.
I'm not the one excusing civilian murders pal. How am I spreading hate?
Maybe you should also check your karma, speaking lots who's the more sane human being in this case. A bit of self reflection would do wonders.
Why don't you try to put yourself in the shoes of a regular Palestinian for a change. Living in a makeshift tent with 20 more people, having to struggle each day to find water and food and every day this challenge becomes more difficult. Knowing perfectly well that every day can be your last day. Not having access to electricity and the Internet. Your kids traumatised asking you when all this bombing would stop and unable to give them an answer. Every day some of your friends, and acquaintances are dying or are being injured. You lost the roof over your head, your house has been destroyed by Israelian bombardment, with all your belongings lost, apart of one suitcase for you, your life and the children.
So honestly tell me, would you still defend Israel in this case? Because if you say yes, you would only prove what a hypocrite you are! Because there isn't a single human being on this planet who won't feel utterly miserable and desperate!
If both sides are interested in stopping the shit they'll both support a ceasefire. How do governments communicate again? I always forget
