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.

Military targets are morally different than civilian targets with or without collateral damage. Hamas are not the heroes.
Hamas knew what was coming when they launched their senseless terror. The blood of civilians on the Gaza Strip is on their hands.
Likewise, Netanyahu and his far right government has been provoking this intentionally. He has the blood of Israeli citizen on his. They did not expect an attack to be this successful, but I guaran-fucking-tee you they were waiting for and intentionally provoking an opportunity to strike back.
Both of them intentionally kill civilians. Both can get fucked.
If you're looking for heroes, start with the people working for UN schools at the Gaza Strip.
If you think Hamas does anything but to promote Israels extinctionist agenda by targeting civilians, you are tragically wrong.
It's not that one cannot understand that people in Gaza get desperate and start supporting Hamas - it's equally easy to understand how people in Israel become terrified and support Netanyahu and his allies. It's a death spiral.
Sympathize with the people, not their terrorist leaders. At least the people of Israel got to stupidly elect their leaders only a year ago - the people in Gaza had no such luxury. You can understand where the desperation comes from while also appreciating that it does nothing good to anyone, least of all the civilians in the Gaza Strip currently thirsting under rocket fire and a cloud of white phosphor. The only one it helped in the end are the Israeli far right who want an excuse to "complete the borders" of Israel.
What the fuck is wrong with you? Israel slaughters Palestinian civilians on any given day, so Hamas slaughtering civilians on any given day is a-okay?
This isn't mounting a resistance. It's shooting up a daycare because you were bullied in school. And now the daycare is carpet bombing the school in retaliation.
IT'S ALL FUCKED UP
That would fly if Israel a) hadn't been targeting civilians for 40 years and b) didn't respond by targeting civilians.
You really need to shut your fucking mouth when you clearly have no fucking clue what happened literally this week.
