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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

I wouldn't blame these kids for taking extreme action later in life at the regime that killed their entire family. The only sensible option here is ceasefire.
Why would they do ceasefire though? Every time they have done it they've broken it.
Like it's been tried several times now. And it hasn't worked.
Just to be clear, you mean Israel has broken the ceasefire, right?
No, the country launching attacks and rockets, Gaza has been breaking the cease fires.
I also asked the other guy, but I couldn't find anything about a ceasefire that was ongoing in October 2023.
The ceasefire they signed at the end of their last conflict was in place.
Just because you understand very little about the situation there and can't seem to do your own research, doesn't mean you're right.
No, Hamas has repeatedly broken the ceasefires every time. There was one ongoing during October 7th as well. This latest one was broken by Hamas no less than 5 times, but Israel let most of those slide.
I tried to look up that ceasefire you were talking about but couldn't find it.
A very quick search of Gaza and Wikipedia gives you all the info you need. The last cease fire was put in place May 13th 2023 prior to Oct 7th. Prior to that there was one in 2019 that lasted for 48 hours on paper before being breached by Palestinian militants. There were limits skirmishes until April 2023 when more rockets were fired by Hamas and Lebanon. Israel launched operation shield and arrow and then that May ceasefire prevailed until Oct 7th when Israel declared Hamas action a full on declaration of war and decided to stop pulling the punches and just end this shit.
Wasn't the May 13th ceasefire signed with PIJ? Also why do Israeli ceasefires allow them to continue blockading Gaza again? Blockades are supposed to be an act of war.
The one Hamas broke on October 7th? It started after the last time Hamas broke the ceasefire by firing thousands of rockets at Israel, at which point Israel went into Gaza, did a little clearing of terrorist launch sites, then promptly agreed on another ceasfire.
