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'm sure the Palestinians don't want to live next to people that want to do, and have done, the same and much more to them.
It will be rejected because Israel justifiably does not want Hamas to exist.
Israel will also use this to unjustifiably reject it to proceed with a genocide on civilians not affiliated with Hamas.
It will be rejected because Israel ~~justifiably~~ does not want ~~Hamas~~ Palestine to exist.
Israel had been killing people, occupying territory, and illegally expanding settlements since long before fore Hamas was a thing. If they didn't want Hamas to exist next to them, they shouldn't have been doing all that stuff before.
Israel doesn't want Hamas to exist? If that's so, why did they themselves fund Hamas? Why did they purposefully allow billions of dollars propping up the Hamas government?
@RapidCreek set you up for that gotcha and you bit.
It's amazing how fast some turn to whatabout on this issue. It is never OK to commit an act of terrorism. Raping, murdering, taking hostages is never a workable solution to any problem. Bin Laden. justified 9/11 in the same way.
It's not whataboutism to point out the fact that barbaric acts have been going both ways for a long fucking time.
Who is even arguing this?
No one. This is what propagandists do. They change the conversation until you get frustrated and quit.
And with 9/11 a lot of people have talked of blowback. Are you saying the same can be said about Israel?
No, I'm saying that terrisum on civilians can not be justified in a civilized world.
Hamas is evil, yes, but ultimately Israel isn't attacking Hamas. It's attacking Palestinians indiscriminately and hoping afterward that some of them might've been associated with Hamas. People aren't calling for a ceasefire because they like Hamas, they're calling for it because Hamas has nothing to do with Israel's attack on Palestine besides being a convenient scapegoat.
Isreal is attacking because of 10/7.
Israel is attacking now because 10/7 gives them the excuse. Again, they're not attacking the people responsible for 10/7, they're attacking everyone in that area, and hoping maybe they got one.
Ever since the dawn of man one village would attack another then those who were attacked would counter attack. An excuse is not needed.
You're dancing around the basis of my argument. They're not counterattacking Hamas, they're killing Palestinians. It's like if you punched me in the face so I killed your innocent grandma and called it justice.
What do you think the conditions were like in Gaza and the West Bank even on Oct 6th from the occupation?

10 Myths of Israel
Please save your stuff for someone else.
Israel has been attacking long before 10/7. This is a conflict that's been going on for longer than pretty much everyone here has been alive
Actually the US didn't have anything to do with bin Laden in Afghanistan. Clinton sent 36 tomahawk missles at bin Laden when he warned the US.
The CIA is an American agency that trained and funded Al Qaeda in the 1970s to fight with the Mujahideen against Soviet troops during the Soviet/Afghani war. The Bin Ladens are a ridiculously wealthy family with connections to both the Saudi and American governments. The US had EVERYTHING to do with the Bin Ladens in Afghanistan.
Al Quedia came to Afghanistan at the end of the war with Russia. The Taliban didn't like them, but bin Laden had money. The US did supply the Mujahideen but not al Qaeda.
