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.

What the world didn’t need right now was another war. I hope this ends as swiftly and peacefully as possible.
This is not a new conflict, we just ignore usually this one.
This looks like a pretty sudden escalation though
Propaganda escalation in reports
If you think "we" are ignoring a conflict that is never out of the news in western nations for more than a few weeks at most and never at all in the Arab nations, what do you call what "we" do to the numerous other conflicst in Africa, the Middle East, Central and South-East Asia and South America?
Israel has officially declared war though and is planning a complete siege of the Gaza strip.
Bibi sure needed it to cover up the mass protests that were taking place after he rammed through judicial reform to keep himself out of jail.
Failure of Israeli intelligence starting to make sense...
Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute something to malice that can as easily be explained by stupidity."
I hope you're right.
Me too.
You think the five eyes and Israel missing out on the largest scale Islamic terrorism in history is somehow plausible? Thousands and thousands of fighters were trained and mobilized according to a cohesive strategy. There is literally zero chance anyone was caught off guard. This isn’t 19 dudes and boxcutters.
Conspiracy Theory. Then why not do it earlier, when the protests were still in international news instead of now when everyone intenationally already lost interest and turned back to watching the Golden Bachelor?
Put down the tinfoil hat
Palestine breached walls and took hostages. That hasn’t happened in decades. Israel is going to make a statement in retaliation.
So this isn’t going away anytime soon.
No usually it's Israel leveling buildings because Dan slept on the couch and might have thrown a rock at an Israeli when he was 7.
No way this ends swiftly.
Sadly it won’t. Peaceful options were already slim before this. It likely won’t end until Israel has destroyed Hamas.
Good, Hamas should be destroyed
The unfortunate part is that it will require lots of civilian casualties on both sides. It won’t be quick either. There’s no good in this.
