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.

It is sadly the reality of the situation. Only someone fucked up can see that and the other videos from that day (example the slaughtered elderly at the bus stop etc) and think "Oh Hamas are the good guys."
I think the number of people who think hamas are the good guys is infinitessimal compared to the number of people who think Israel shouldn't be genocidal.
Do you think that's the case globally or mostly in the western world?
I think anyone everywhere would agree that Israel's response should be appropriate to the threat, which excludes genocide.
Sadly, I think most people in the western world just swallow the narrative which is that Israel are allies, therefore the good guys, therefore they can't be genocidal.
The western world is hardly a population majority. Do you think your statement about who is considered "good" and "bad" expands outside of the western world?
I'm so weary of this type of comment. Trying to draw me in to some snarky debate that will achieve nothing.
Can we just skip to the end where I'm a poorly informed idiot and you regale us all with your enlightened understanding of these complex issues?
I'm so weary of absolutist that can tell how it is and anybody questioning it is wearisome.
I don't know about you but I'll just skip to the part where I don't have to interact with you ever again. I wish you a day as pleasant as you are.
Epic burn. Well done. I'll be fretting about that one for days.
It's global in countries where people use forks.
what the fuck did I just read! Israel military should indeed kill children, shouldn't they? fucking bastard you are.
Heavily armed, full of advantages, but are there, behind their joysticks killing toddlers! What an army of piece of shit!
You might have misunderstood my comment.
