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.

But i was told repeatedly, that Biden/Harris were only toeing the line bc. of the election and once it was over, they would change things?
Turns out the whole ordeal was yet another piss poor maneuver to lie to the people, just like that "aid pier" that ended up being used for IDF instead.
Biden and Harris will do nothing to stop Israel. They made a whole fuzz, now to have this very explicit "red line" not just to stepped over, but rolled over with a bulldozer. There is no red lines for this administration.
They haven proven once and for all, that they are no better than Trump for the Palestinians.
spineless shortsighted blue maga is the reason we are in this position and is going to get worse.
or maybe you are part of dnc whose gravy train got affected.
If one party looses because of their support for AIPAC they'll move away from AIPAC.
There are already talks to annex the West Bank, they are about to find out how friendly trump is to Muslims, I mean they did hop on stage and endorse him…
Lol, tell me that in 4 years.
Your whole movement is nothing but 🤡.
Are you trying to say that people who are anti-genocide are clowns for being anti-genocide?
No, they are clowns for thinking that not voting for Harris thereby enabling a Trump victory will be a better outcome.
May Palestine get everything coming to it that their actions enabled.
It was the Harris campaign that made the decision to not break from Biden on Israel, at the cost of at least a +6 points gain. That's the fault of the campaign's calculations to ignore those voters, take them for granted, and instead run to the right with Liz Cheney and having the most lethal Military. That single policy change would have secured her the swing states needed to win the election. Biden is a Christian Zionist, the genocide and de juro annexation of Palestine is exactly what he wants.
I voted for Harris and told others to do the same. It's still on the campaign to earn votes to win. Blaming voters is just sowing division when we need unity and solidarity to fight against Fascism.

The United States Administration is the one enabling Israel unconditionally. What a gross way to justify the genocide, by blaming it on the people who are anti-genocide.
Cool wall of text. I’ll stick with my original statement.
Your whole movement wants/needs to learn about politics and human behavior.
You expect blind loyalty and obedience in support of your beliefs and values but refuse to be anti genicide...
What would have Biden and Harris lose if they stopped the genicide in Palestine? Would they have lost Republicans votes? How about Zionest votes? How about the Evangelicals votes? No. So they told millions of people Arab, Muslims, and Far left people to fuck off and then want to cry about what? Not being liable in the genicide? That our genicide was more just because it was going slow?
Every Arab and Muslim coalition in the DNC warned them that if they didn't change course on Palestine they wouldn't get Arab and Muslim votes. So who's fault exactly?
I don't get this either. Like, they tell people to vote Harris, despite her having a shitty pro-genocide policy. Instead, she could've said "enough", stopped the genocide, and I could be telling people to suck it up and vote for her despite her being against genocide. Which world would be a better place? Of course the one where Palestinians get to live.
But apparently that's something that's unthinkable
Yup all these train track memes and people complaining about Arabs and Muslims not supporting their values, while automatically assuming the Palestinians will be killed regardless.
Like there was nothing to lose and everything to gain if Harris had a left facing platform. But they told their base to go pound sand... After voting for them of course.
