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.

To you, me, and many of us, they're a terrorist group, but to those who get stepped on by the Zionist for decades, who have their home bombed, who land got stolen, who families and relatives got killed, they are their only hope.
To all of the groups that matter, they are a terrorist group.
Then they aren't living as a government that deserves statehood. If a terrorist group is the one leading the country, that becomes the definition of that country.
good way to say "they deserved to be wiped out, innocent or not", which isn't something shocking coming from war criminal apologist.
Just like War mongering state of America and War Criminal state of Israel?
Hamas isn't their hope. If they were lead by a peaceful and sane govermant, instead of terrorists, Gaza would've looked so much better today.
Hamas doesn't care about Gaza and it's people, the leaders are corrupt and living abroad, the money that's meant for schools and services and infrastructure goes to their pockets or weapons, and the biggest prisoner of Hamas is Gaza itself.
Easy for you to type out such comment in your own comfortable chair, but for them, if Israel didn't force them out of their own land and treat them like sub-human for decades, they won't resort to rely on extremist.
Want them to make better decision? Give them their land back, pay reparation fee, rebuild their destroyed facilities, in return disband and deradicalize. It took decades for a lot of wartorn country to get back on their feet and it's no difference here. If you truly think Israel can wipe out Hamas with their bombs and violent, then you must've missed what happened to Afghanistan.
Afghanistan was actually doing much better than it was under Taliban control. Women had rights, and weren't living in fear. Reforms were happening. The whole country was moving in a positive direction.
Until Trump fucked all of that up and made a deal with the Taliban to regain control again.
Israel definitely could have treated palastinians better, but not in matters of land... Israel didn't force them out of their land. It was founded legally and went on to win territory in wars in which it was the defender and offered innocents to stay and gain citizenship.
Later on, the palastinians didn't agree to several 2 state proposals which Israel did agree to, thus relinquishing again the keys to their own future.
Israel invested and invests into their infrastructure, which they don't manage well usually, like the water treatment plans Israel transfered to them when exiting Gaza.
Afghanistan's story is not the same as that of Hamas and will not end the same, I hope as many innocent people of either side come out on top and have a chance at a peaceful future, with Hamas buried and gone.
Gaza and Israel could normallize relations and Gaza could prosper.
The sheer amount of mental gymnastics here is astounding.
I wonder why 🤔🤔🤔
Context you seem to leave out is wars of defense.
defence
/dɪˈfɛns/
-military measures or resources for protecting a country.
"the minister of defence"
-fortifications or barriers against attack.
"coastal defences"
i don't see anything about defence with winning territory.
They are their hope? By mudding over 1'000 innocent people? Well, looks like they fucked up. But I assume this is what Hamas wanted to begin with, since they don't care about Palestinians at all.
Yep. Two group need to cease to exists for this war to end, Hamas and the Zionist. Both group goal is to eradicate each other, kinda like that two giant from Xenoblade Chronicle.
Except the only real guilty party there is Zanza, and they do end up living peacefully with each other once Zanza is removed.
Hamas is Zanza.
Hamas are the only group that can stop this, yet here we are, they do not even release the hostages! Israel could only stop this if they are destroyed. The same way Ukraine can not end the war with Russia, only Russia can do that.
Nope, because the same way as Russia vs Ukraine, Russia and Israel is the main perpetrator and the oppressor.
