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.

It wants to eliminate Palestinians, not Hamas. Hamas is the villain they use to justify their genocide.
Israel can decimate every living soul in Gaza Strip, it will take a few hours and will cost less than one day of Iron Dome projetiles.
Israel does not trying to commit a genocide, or it would have already done so.
Decimate means to kill one out of every 10, and Israel decimated Palestine long ago. They're finishing the job now.
The reason they don't kill everyone all at once is that when the dust settles they need to be seen as the good guys. It's not about technology.
My mistake, I will clear it up. Israel can kill every human being in Gaza.
Israel is making money by selling weapons and thecnology, Israel does not need to look like the good guy, but like the deadlier guy.
If the truth of their genocide becomes clear to all, they will be eliminated just like the Nazis they emulate. They'll never be deadly enough to stop the retribution. Their only option is to push propaganda until their projections are seen as reality.
So much words with no base in reality
Every fascist accusation a projection.
Read about concentration camps in China. Count how much shit in your home was made in China. If the number is above zero, you too would have traded with Israel that killed all Palestinens.
That's a false equivalency, and a rather dense one at that.
Only in the eyes of a Jews hater
Israel is Jewish like America is Christian, as a hypocritical cover for nationalist scum.
America is a contient, do you mean the USA? The USA constitution does not define a Christian federation.
Israel however is self-defined in it in-writing constitution as a Jewish-democracy. As such, the Jewish holydays are recognized by law, Hebrew is the main language and Jewish symbolism was used for state symbolism such as the menorah.
You are so ignorant, no wonder you only have hate inside.
You are mistaken, so I'm a fascist with a meaningless opnions. Goodjob exposing yourself as a deapthless, hate filled tard.
A WW1 era military could level the Gaza Strip with WW1 era munitions. Arguing that Israel, with a fully modern military and munitions system, is trying to genocide Gazans but just can't for some reason is arguing that Israel's military is the most incompetent military to ever have existed.
The reason they can't just level Gaza is that when the dust clears they need to be seen as the good guys. Think for just one second, even if it hurts.
After an event, proportionally the size of 44 9/11s I think they could get away with anything really.
