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.

Reminder that hundreds of Palestinians were murdered during the 9-year "truce" from 2014-2023. Not to mention the land stolen and the homes, farms, and crops destroyed in the West Bank during that period.
now do missiles fired
Israeli deaths are already shown in that graph. I know it's hard to see, try zooming in.
do missiles fired
Sorry, but I couldn't find the statistics on rockets fired by Palestinian children. Just some assholes named Hamas, maybe Israel shouldn't have helped to create them.
I did find this though.
Oh great, then glad you support israel in taking down hamas.
Count the rocks thrown or what lmao
In 1993, a Palestinian child threw a rock at an IDF soldier bulldozing their home and that apparently justifies the mass slaughter of civilians today.
You didn't answer them. Why don't unsuccessful attempts to blindly and indiscriminately murder Israelis count?
Did I ever say they don't count? The point is that both Israel and Hamas violated the "truce", making it a stretch to say there was an actual truce prior to October 7th.
Israeli civilians and Palestinian civilians suffer as a result of the exchanges between the IDF and Hamas.
Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about their civilians.
Both the IDF and Hamas do not care about killing civilians to achieve their goal.
But the IDF has been doing this for far longer than Hamas and helped to create them in the first place.
This is as terrible an argument as when republicans point to maps showing huge swathes of land colored red as if it's land that votes instead of the smaller blue areas of land filled with way more people (i.e. actual voters) and claiming that republicans are underrepresented. Lives are what matter and it's clear who is doing more killing.
