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.

We shouldn't conflate the people of Isreal with the extremist State of Isreal, we shouldn't conflate the people of Palestine with Hamas. Atrocities have been committed on both sides and each one is an atrocity, but the fact remains that the Palestinian people are living under an apartheid and therefore should be supported despite acts committed by extremists in it's name. This situation shouldn't be reduced to a simplistic one-sided team sport. Palestine still needs liberating.
It's spelled Israel
It’s difficult to not conflate them with hammas when 80% supprts them and celebrated the attack
Source, post-attack?
Just like in Israel..
Honest question: What would you do if you were born there?
Try to make peace with my neighbors and not commit terrorist attacks against innocent civilians?
It's pretty hard to make peace with people who are literally taking your homes. Perhaps if that wasn't happening, it would become a lot easier to make peace.
You can't justify it. There's no excuse for anybody to ever commit pure evil terrorist attacks that intentionally target civilians.
Understanding it isn't justifying it. Understanding it is how you prevent it from happening again.
seek refuge somewhere else.
You expect me to believe you would simply leave behind the place you were born and all of your loved ones?
Already did so actually and it wasn’t even comparable to the situation in gaza so yes , I would definitely leave … I don’t care if you don’t believe me.
Edit: actually you can search my comments from before the recent attacks and find a few that support the fact i am an expatriate.
Fair enough. From what country are you a refugee, if you don't mind me asking?
I'll get back to you once you dismiss the fantasy version of the discussion we are having and ask a question in line with what we have actually said
edit: in case you are really confused, you said you didn't believe I could leave , no one said i am a refugee...
I stop reading and ask for a refund for the book.
Where are you getting this figure from? I see ~29% from this poll:
https://pcpsr.org/en/node/955
conducted in 2023.
your source is about voting, voting implies approval but not voting doesn't imply lack of approval....
electing them as leaders is not the same as approving their actions. even then, from your own source 47% of the polled in gaza would vote for hamas. that is the lower bound of their approval %.
one source cites 75% approval : https://www.nbcnews.com/news/gaza-strip-controls-s-know-rcna119405
My source is a comprehensive poll covering a bunch of different topics. Most centrally:
which isn't even close to 80% no matter how you look at it.
Your NBC News one says this:
which is a very different thing than general approval...
