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.

Trying to disarm an aggressor is not the same as attacking commercial ships.
Like the Ansar Allah trying to disarm Israel?
Why isn't halting a genocide more important than interrupting commercial shipping to you?
A couple of targeted strikes on houthi terrorists is genocide to you? How about stop being disingenuous.
Are you just playing at being daft..?
Here are some hints:

Per your second article, "The Houthis say they are targeting ships which are Israeli-owned, flagged or operated, or which are heading to Israeli ports. However, many have no connections with Israel."
Emphasis mine. So what exactly do they have to do with the Palestinian genocide? Sounds like they're just clout chasing and distracting from it.
Yes Israel, the countries illegally aiding genocide and ships heading there will be totally honest about which ships are going to their ports.
Hint: numerous ships with no indication on their manifests have made their way to Israeli ports to deliver weapons.
... So why did you link those articles?
You think the Houthi attacks are anything other than a tactic to distract the west from Ukraine? Read between the lines.
Yes surely Russia is somehow behind the Israeli decision to genocide Palestinians.
Don't play dumb, that's not what I said. Russia and Iran had a hand in the October attacks by the Palestinians which started this war however.
The entire IDF failed against a few dudes on a paraglider because RUSSIA DID IT!
This is just tinfoiling.
Have you read anything about the attacks? The IDF failed for the same reason USA failed on 9/11, they had intel and ignored it
Ok so you're telling me that the IDF works for Russia now?
You too friend. These people are supporting straight up Nazism now it's getting insane that they fail to see this.
That's an excellent question the Houthis have yet to answer.
Houthis have been answering it for going on ten years now. Just ask the Saudi princes who got fireballed down at the F1 track last year.
You're going to have to expand on how that was successful for them and how it answers the question.
