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.

Why 700? Why not 701 or 698?! Gaza is controlled by Hamas. Gaza's authorities are Hamas. Everything they say is blatantly false and only serves their purpose, which is to annihilate anyone who is not a Muslim. The fact that so-called news agencies use them as a source highlights the issues with the media in this day and age.
Then why are there churches and Christians in Gaza? 🤔
Shhhh, we're trying to build a narrative here.
Maybe instead of one side being paragons of honesty and one side lying religiously, they just both lie as and when they feel it benefits their cause?
Bro there are literally Christians in Gaza.
Gaza is 99.8% Sunni Muslim. There are 2-3,000 Christians there. It is an ethno state for all practical purposes.
What does it say for the death toll that some of that .2% have already been killed by air strikes? Some even in their places of worship.
Just here correcting fake facts. Have all the sympathy in the world for the victims of war mongering religious conservatism.
I continue to just have sympathy for humans regardless
Yeah, same
Again I will say that I think you think that ethnostate means a country with a majority of one group of people...
Israel is an ethnostate because their constitution means that anyone who is not a Jew is a second class citizen if a citizen at all, and only Jews are allowed to be citizens.
Gaza has a majortiy of Muslims but never rejected "citizenship" to Jews or Christians. This is not the same as an ethno state.
For the love of fuck use Google before saying nonsense. Just because the word sounds like it means this, it doesn't.
Israel is akin to Nazi Germany in its ethnostate-ness. Hope that makes it clear now.
I'm not sure this is correct in respect to Gaza.
The requirements for citizenship under pre-hamas in Gaza is your father must be an Palestinian Arab. There is no naturalization process that allows you to bypass this requirement. That is the definition of an ethnostate.
While I can't find any record on if Hamas changed the law, I highly doubt they did considering their political stance.
Citizenship requires that you are a country. Israel has taken that away from Palestinians decades ago.
I was pointing out that this statement you made:
Gaza has a majortiy of Muslims but never rejected "citizenship" to Jews or Christians.
Is very, very wrong.
Sure thing buddy.
Do you understand what ethnostate means?
Yeah do you? Even North Korea isn't 100%. Not about to argue absolutist definitions in the real world with an internet edgelord.
how do you define an ethnostate?
