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.
-
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.

This is significant. Starvation, nutrient deprivation, on a developing brain that young can and will likely lead to all sorts of development problems with physiology and psychology.
This is NOT just damn how sad that kids are hungry. This is the welfare gap, poverty, class repression also in action. There are long term consequences to prepubescent children not getting enough food
What can I do?
ETA: NPR - How to help humanitarian efforts in Israel and Gaza
Dont worry, before they will suffer the consequences of malnutrition, they will be bombed to death or shot.
If you're American, write the white house and tell them you will not be voting for Biden until he cuts off military aid and sanctions Netanyahu until real aid is allowed into Gaza.
Protest or write to Congress or talk to people you know. Doing anything is better than doing nothing.
Probably nothing. Even if you were rich enough to send a few trucks with food/medicine, it wouldn't gain entry. And all world governments are sitting around watching it, so not sure what ordinary citizens could do that would help these people in time (yes people can vote, but it won't be in time for a lot of these people, especially not if Israel gets to keep doing whatever in the meantime).
If you live in America, not voting for Biden or Trump is the most impact you can have.
Not voting will have a huge impact, good idea!
That'll put the Muslim ban guy right back in there so he can deport protesters to Gaza and then help Israel "finish the job." Mike Johnson wants to brutalize protesters with the National Guard. Lindsey Graham wants to nuke Gaza.
After that's done they'll be able to help Russia finish off the Ukrainians.
Biden is putting the Muslim Ban guy back in the white house already. His chances of winning are abysmal. If it wasn't for libs trying to do everything to support Genocide the third party movement could have been running a huge campaign by now.
Mike Johnson, the house speaker saved by the Democrats Mike Johnson you mean?
It's pretty sad that virtually everything used to fearmonger for Trump is now already done by Biden. Uniparty'd a bit too much.
Look at all the delusional shit you have to buy into to think throwing a vote in the garbage is a good idea. You literally have to claim both sides are the same. That's the position of privileged children sheltered by mommy and daddy's money. Meanwhile, IRL, a red SCOTUS is removing more and more rights from us.
Hang on let me just check which huge third-party campaigns have succeeded in previous elections. Oh, wait, none have ever been successful at anything other than splitting a vote. None have ever been huge, because the majority of voters understand basic mathematics and how FPTP works.
Please do tell how much morally superior Biden is in supporting Genocide than Trump. Those Biden red lines are truly awesome.
I did. Get a clue and realize that even though you are sheltered by mommy and daddy's money it is going to be worse for everyone else. Or continue urging people to do the same thing the Republicans are urging them to do while pretending you're on the right side. Up to you.
Imagine the Nazis going "You dont support Hitler, which means you are spoilt by mommy and daddy's money".
You are so privileged that you are able to say both sides are the same, and, holy fuck, pretend that Dems are the Hitler out of the two available choices. Just unbelievably privileged. Must be nice.
Thank you for this entire exchange. I didn't have the energy that's for sure.
It truly is exhausting to see them so delusional. There is no explanation other than bad faith authoritarian influence. The only question is if they are one of the sources of the bad faith or actually foolish enough to believe any of it.
