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.

Netanyahu failed to protect his people from rape, mutilation, and murder. His administration helped Hamas secure power in Gaza. He is a failure for the nation, as all fascists ultimately are for their nations.
Yeah but now he gets to externalize his failures which is a fascist’s dream
He is now making up for those failures in defense with a strong offense.
Funny way to spell war crimes.
And how exactly is he supposed to "make up" for all the dead civilians? Killing a bunch of Palestinians won't bring anyone back.
Hamas is holding kidnapped civilians as prisoners. Getting them back would be a large part of making up for defensive failures.
He is talking about crushing Hamas, not getting prisoners back.
Crushing Hamas, the people kidnapping civilians en-mass, is...bad? Is...not something that should be done?
What exactly do you think will happen to the hostages when Ol’ Netty starts crushing?
Goalposts on wheels.
Consider that prior shows of strength are exactly why things are where they are. Which then raises the question- is this really making up for any thing? Is dead enemies really enough to make up for dead friends, dead parents or dead children?
Or is it really just a perpetuation and escalation of the problem? A continuation of a pattern where they kill your friends, parents, brothers and sisters, and children, so you kill their parents, brothers and sisters and children, leading to more and ever increasing retaliation?
Yes, Hamas are objectively terrible, and are commuting atrocities and are terrorists. But, the Israeli government aren’t the saints here.
