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.

Nice dehumanization and victim blaming you got going there pardner.
Everyone touched by the middle east's volatile religions is a victim.
They all deserve sympathy and understanding, not just the ones involved in this most recent atrocity.
Broaden your view a bit.
Same with you. When they attack it's "yeah but the overblown atrocities they've faced over the decades" "look what they've done to them over the decades"
Meanwhile in reality land Israel housed, fed, provided medicine allowing their population to grow from 500k to 5.5M. They let them continue after Palestine launched a full blown invasion to destroy Israel from the world in 1948. Even after losing they let them prosper all these decades.
The article is about abuse in Israeli jails. You are spinning some kind of elaborate argument to trivialize it, you are literally blaming victims of prison abuse for the abuse they suffered.
When reality is some kind of elaborate trivial argument. I don't spin anything I literally point out what has factually happened in reality since 1947. Of course they tell a sob story as they face the consequences of their own actions. Even through it all they still support Hamas. 80% think Hamas did nothing wrong October 7th. So why shouldn't we victim blame? Will they accept peace? Doubt it. If they want war so damn much then that's their problem why is it mine?
80% of them even dislike America according to this 2014 paper. Their biggest financial backer. Y'know the one who provided food and medicine to their exponentially growing population all while our own country faced our own crazy ass problems somehow we found the money to provide them aid. And 3 of every 4 of them dislike us. Okay lol. I'm suppose to feel sorry or something?
I wonder why they dislike America. Your comment makes America sound so helpful for Palestinians.
Yes true. The billions and billions we sent them in aid was no help. We have never helped them. Somehow they kept themselves fed and taken care of.
Prison beatings and torture. Rape by baton. Deaths in custody. In statements by people who were in administrative detention (ie not convicts) since 2022.
You call this "a sob story as they face the consequences of their own actions".
You have no credibility.
I think they should have stopped while they were ahead.
After the blatant misanthropy in your previous responses, I don't give a damn what you think. You have no credibility.
That's cool. Reality is quite credible though.
The Israeli imposed closure on Gaza began in 1991, temporarily, becoming permanent in 1993. The barrier began around Gaza around 1972. After the 'disengagement' in 2007, this turned into a full blockade; where Israel has had control over the airspace, borders, and sea. Under the guise of 'dual-use' Israel has restricted food, allocating a minimum supply leading to over half of Gaza being food insecure; construction materials, medical supplies, and other basic necessities have also been restricted. This has been a deliberate tactic of De-development.
