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.

A few days ago there were already more Palestinian children killed by just the current Israeli bombing of Gaza that the total of Israelis killed by Hamas' attack.
Must have been "sympathisers with a terrorist organisation", same as the ones who will be killed and arrested when the IDF finally enacts their Gaza invasion and anexation plan. /s
What are the humanitarian aid measures done by Israel to help the affected civilians in Gaza?
They send in air packages in form of rockets
Israel are activelly reducing the Palestinian needs for food, water and power (which Israel itself created) by killing them.
Israel mesures: 🤷
You make some strange and easily debunkable claims here.
If "all Palestinians" cherished Hamas there wouldn't be a Fatah or a PA.
The Israeli right wing literally supported Hamas over Fatah in order to justify continued violence and land theft against the Palestinians. Hamas and the settlers (who are now the Israeli government) are literally feeding off each other.
The main reason this attack succeeded was because the Gaza border was unmanned, because the current Israeli government moved the military to the West Bank in order to protect the settlers there while they commit attacks on the Palestinians there. Despite the Israeli military describing some of the actions of these settlers as a "progrom".
The "Muslim fundamentalists of the Levant" comprise Christians and other groups too, including Jews before this entire conflict started. There had been Jews in the Levant for millennia, despite it being under Muslim rule for 1400 years. Jews were still banned from Jerusalem under the Byzantines, until the Muslims conquered it and allowed Jews to return to the city. Jerusalem had a Jewish majority when the British took control of the place.
I find this idea that the hatred is exclusively due to anti-Semitism to be the stupidest one Israel tries to put out there. Had Palestine been occupied by Bhuddists or atheists, you think they would not resist, or hate their occupier? Was the Viet-Cong motivated by anti-Christian values in fighting both France and the USA? How stupid are you?
I love you lemmy, this is why I'm here tkutkutku
It's a good thing we have you around to let us know what all Palestinians think
Not all terrorists blow themselves up. Some have a victim hood complex and lash out from imagined persecution because their life has been too privileged to accept the thought of loss.
Source: MAGA
Acktually, a MAGA did blow itself up!

Collective punishment is a crime against humanity.
Fatah is still in power in the west bank, you make it sound like they disappeared.
That statement is literally fascist. Not figuratively, not allegorically, not approximately, but precisely fascist.
You realize this argument is just as fascist as "all jews across the world want to control the global finances"?
No but you see that's their fascists saying things, not our fascists saying things. If ours say things they must obviously be true because they don't like them.
Apart from the centuries of coexistence before Israel came along.
What's your resolution? Kill them all?
That you generalize all Palestinians this way is racist, and nowhere near true.
Here are polls showing that even 70% of Palestinians in Gaza wants the Palestinian Authority to take over power from Hamas:

Even in the 2006 election (the last held in Gaza) Hamas didn't even get a majority of votes (they got 44.45%). They were the largest party, and because of the electoral system they won a majority of seats.
