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.

So what are Republicans and the Trump administration doing to stop Israel?
Absolutely nothing - on the contrary, they even supply the weapons with which these shameful murders are committed.
And Trump and his band of criminals are not even alone in this - my home country, Germany, is also aiding and abetting these terrible war crimes.
I simply cannot understand how a country like Israel, which is actually completely irrelevant on the world stage, not only gets away with genocide, but is even supported by many of those countries that otherwise always play the moralizer.
The only way I can explain this is that the fascist regime in Israel is taking advantage of the fact that this country is a leader in surveillance and espionage technology. Other than by blackmailing foreign state representatives, I simply cannot explain why so many countries persist in supporting all these terrible atrocities - in democratic countries even against the will of the people and at the massive expense of votes.
I'm aware that this is conspiracy theory, but I simply can't explain it any other way because it is so incredibly absurd and shameful.
I mean, Bibi has long been the subject of an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Courts.
It is of course quite clear that no government official in the USA is interested in this, but the fact that European countries, which recognize this intuition as binding, are also thinking about how Netanyahu could be invited as a state guest without having to arrest him immediately is simply telling. And then also supplying weapons to a war criminal?
How?
Israel is not irrelevant on the world stage. They are a major intelligence asset. Nobody comes close to what they can do. And America knows this. They have been enabling Israel all these years hoping to keep that asset on their side. The second we turn on Israel they become a mercenary operation for our enemies.
There’s not really any way to win with Israel. They are assholes. They shouldn’t exist in the first place. And we continue to play nice with them while they kill everyone around them and threaten anyone who dares question them.
Thats the utterly BS mystique zionists like to cultivate. You have no proof at all of it-- You're just parroting hasbara propoganda.
All I see day in and day out on the news is vicious Israeli war crimes, indiscriminate violence, and land theft for 80 years and the anger caused by it.
If the Israelis DO have any intelligence, its unreliable due to their rampant of torture, and it'll be about their enemies (not ours), and visciously slanted by their insane worldview and transparent attempts at manipulation of the west to their advantage.
Israels enemies are not the enemies of the west. All we care about in that region is oil and shipping lanes. Israel wants to steal land and kill muslims. The west has every reason not to care about that, and no gain to join in it.. So we arent even strategic allies. Israelis are rich barbarian cultists who buy influence. We need to dump them, despite their so called "intelligence".
The US government has been supporting and arming israel for decades, haven't you learn already?
They kept Harris from office, thus saving all Palestinians!
If Harris were in office, there would be people dying in Gaza right now!!
Quite a lot.
Trump us destroying the international standing of Israel's strongest ally, this should count for something.
So Trump is a real friend of Palestine, you should say thank you.
He also has put super high tariffs on the components to build most of Israel's weapons!
What about this is new? America has allowed Israel to do this for decades. I guess it helped you feel better deluding yourself that this is somehow Trump’s fault, and not the American agenda as a whole that has bipartisan support.
Who was president when Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered in cold blood?
Sycophantic partisanship. Great job.
It's a uniparty with factions. Call it for what it actually is.
I meant their kneejerk reaction to blaming Trump is partisan, not the genocide.
