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 can't possibly believe that.
I thought "X is Hamas" is a fairly well established meme on Lemmy by this point.
Like I said elsewhere: Poe's Law. There are people who actually believe that sort of nonsense unfortunately.
Edit: In fact, someone just replied to me agreeing with you, except they're serious.
I mean yeah isn't it sarcasm?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law
Oh, but they do Squid. Their comment/post history tells the story.
That's not true. You should look again at their comment history. Their comment above was making fun of Israel's tendency to retroactively label whoever they kill as Hamas.
Bullshit, I went through their post history and it isn't zionist. Stop that.
Why the fuck are you lying about something we can all so easily verify?
You're either perpetuating the deep sarcasm or you ain't reading right. 😅 If the former - applause.
Well that's depressing.
It's also untrue. Check their history for yourself. They're critical of Israel and sympathetic to the people Israel is bombing.
They're lying to you.
Can you link to your evidence for these two points? I may be out of date but the last time I looked there were much lower numbers being accused by Israel, and none of the accusations confirmed independently.
I don’t see how peacekeepers interacting with both sides of a conflict is proof of anything. By that logic all in troops interacting with Israelis should also be removed, and the UN should just take a shoot anything that moves near the border approach.
I would like to see corroborating evidence or I will delete this as misinformation.
It is linked in this thread.
Your first link is something that Israel claims about their enemy. Why should I trust that from any nation currently engaged in an offensive war?
The second link is from some anti-UN website and can be dismissed outright.
The third mentions one single person. You claimed over 100.
Sorry, "trust me, bro" is not a valid source. I would not advise you to continue posting misinformation.
Lol. What are you talking about? "Trust me, bro" huh???
Anyways, They have fired 9 people directly involved in the October 7th attack.
Nine people is not 100+. This is your last chance to stop spreading this misinformation.
Edit: Never mind, you put a post that was deleted back in the thread. You're gone.
Didn't basically everyone resume UNRWA funding after looking at the evidence? You'd think they wouldn't have done that if the allegations were credible enough.
