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.

WTF does NATO have anything to do with Israel or Palestine?!
WTF would leaving NATO have any effect on Israel or Palestine?!
WTF are these people even on about?
NATO isn't helping Israel... (while some NATO members might be, that's not NATO)
It's not NATO's job to get involved with with Israel or Palestine...
They're being manipulated online by someone who wants to dismantle NATO.
and who could that be, I wonder... hmmm... /s
PS: I kind of despise NATO, but I see the necessity versus the current Putler regime - thanks to Putler being fucking stupid enough to overreach and become the unquestionable aggressor in Europe.
What's wrong with NATO?
You clearly haven't read any news in the past 40 years...
That is a non-answer. You suck.
Not international really. Mostly just things happening in my country and neighbours.
Well - if you are not following the news, I doubt there's much for me to be gained investing my time to give you a (biased) summary.
Alright. Thanks for the reply though.
Newsflash: people are generally fucking dumb and have ever only the vaguest idea of what they are talking about.
Russian propaganda had its way to them
The idea is to dethrone the US from global power because people are sick of us having our boot on their necks.
But the alternative is China wearing the boot and they've proven they would kill every non Han in the world
Idk why you're being downvoted, you gave a pretty fair description of the situation. Even the Han bit, China doesn't have any anti-discrimination laws and they're more than 90% Han Chinese.
While I hope we can get our shit together in Europe to form a strong alliance that does not depend on the totalitarian US come next year, I'd say that 1) your statement is ragebait bullshit and 2) killing the non-whatever-ethnicity seems very similar to the Gravy Seals policy of the orange fat fuck and his MAGA dipshits.
The Uyghurs were all put in camps idiot. The ones who refused to abandon their culture are still in the camps or dead.
China is 92% Han and growing, the CCP has chosen to embrace an ethnostate
Learn to process reality
Look who you are calling an idiot, dipshit. Just because I call your generalisation bullshit doesn't mean I am not aware of ongoing genocides.
"Genocide is bad, but.."
Sorry that's all i heard, you making excuses for genocide
We already established you have zero reading comprehension.
The vote was for NATO to demand that the conflict come to an end by September 2025. It is an advisory vote, NATO has no authority.
As you can see, the vote succeeded. NATO's position is to the conflict to end.
Now the protesters want Canada to pull out of NATO because what? NATO agrees with them?
Huh no it's the result of a UN vote about the end of palestine occupation. You can notice the US/UK/Germany/Eastern Europe axis clearly aligned with US interests.
That map is not the flex you think it is. I see 12 members of NATO voted for and 15 abstained. Only the US, Canada and Czechia voted against. If anything, it says that NATO is not as monocephalic as most tankies like to portray. Canada is the one giving NATO a bad name on this vote, not the reverse, lol.
In the last UK election, an old-school tankie named George Galloway ran a party. One of his candidates, a former professional cricketer IIRC, called for the UK to pull out of NATO to better control immigration. To his credit, he withdrew his candidacy and dropped out of politics a week later once it became apparent how far out of his depth he was.
Galloway's more a wide-spectrum troll than a tankie. In his last campaign, he was putting out contradictory campaign materials in Muslim and non-Muslim neighbourhoods.
He was at one point a self-described Stalinist, which is probably as tankie as one can get. He also doesn’t seem to have ever encountered a dictator he didn’t hail as a liberator, though that’s consistent with the usual tankie/campist brainworms (“all evil comes from Washington, therefore anyone who opposes Washington is a hero of the revolution”).

There is a very good reason the Irish care about Neutrality. The Montrealites are not so different.
Edit: Thank you Chairman Meow for telling me about this: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-blocks-nato-israel-cooperation-over-gaza-war-sources-say-2024-08-01/
LOL you really thought nobody was going to check the dates on those articles? Hmm, I wonder if anything happened in Palestine since last October.
NATO has not changed its position, that's the thing.
It has, it was forced to by Turkey: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-blocks-nato-israel-cooperation-over-gaza-war-sources-say-2024-08-01/
All joint exercises and meetings were stopped and nothing w.r.t. aid for Israel was approved. All vetoed.
Damn, TIL. Thank you.
And for the first time in my life, thank you Erdogan.
Holy shit, can't believe I actually have common ground with Erdogan.
Broken clock and all that
Too bad he can't do what he preaches e.g. Kurds.
