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.

Yeah would be really bad if they were actually doing a genocide then
@100_percent_a_bot Yeah, 30,000 dead , destruction of culturally significant locations, educational facilities, cemeteries, unrelated civilian infrastructure with no plans to restore any of those things while committing ethnic cleansing
Israel is committing genocide, just it was done by Nazi Germany to their ancestors, they just haven't hit the millions of fatalities... yet
You must be some kind of neurodivergent, right? There's no way anyone who's somewhat well adjusted (or at least well medicated) is this unhinged and this historically illiterate. No, even mathematically illiterate. Israel has killed like half of hamas already, while maintaining a combatant to civilian death ratio somewhere between 1-3 & 1-4. This is remarkable since hamas is doing their best to get their own civilians killed by colocating ammo and fuel dumps within civilian infrastructure (warcrime btw) and running their command centers within hospitals (also warcrime). The idea that Isreals military is conducting a genocide is laughable, considering they could have murdered everyone within there within weeks, yet they somehow don't.
@100_percent_a_bot Ah, when you starting losing you start attempting to insult the winner of the debate, it's obvious you're lying. Nearly 30,000 dead is indiscriminate, and intentional.
Remember, Israel isn't killing Hamas.. they're making the next generation of radicals. Just like Nazi Germany did.
Also, all of the Palestinians are forced to live in their Israeli made concentration camp, that Israel is now bombing.
Your problem, is that your lies aren't working anymore.
I don't recall insulting myself. And no, you're lying when you say that Israel does indiscriminate bombings and just willy nilly killing civilians. Not even the ICJ case you're probably soying out over tries to allege that. If they were, there would be at least half a million dead by now.
The people in Gaza are already radicalized and have been for years - jike nazi Germany before the war. That's btw a way better nazi comparison. Just like nazi Germany, the hamas regime is now bombed into submissions and despite everything I'm hopeful that things will continue like with post ww2 Germany with hardcore deradicalization programs in cooperation with the surrounding states.
