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.

The flour massacare: According to Bisan who is trapped in Gaza this was (one of the) the first deliveries of Flour to the north of Gaza. since a long while. The IDF used this to massacare Palestinians with.
Death count is not 104 according to Aljazeera with 1000 injured. The IDF shot at 1000 people looking for food. Israel are Nazi's.

Biden is the person that is making this possible by supplying israel with weapons they use to commit these massacres. Boycott your votes for Biden until he stops this Genocide.
Looking at your post history, it seems clear you're trying to make sure trump wins. This is all you do all day long, blame Democrats during election season, for something they aren't in control of. Knowing that trump winning would be worse on this issue mysteriously having zero effect on your message.
Because Trump will be so much better for the Palestinians.
Yup, it's only Biden, not the overarching position of all US foreign policy and basically every elected official past, present, and almost certainly future, since World War II. And definitely not the fault of Bibi himself.
Plus Biden is God, if he says the word, it stops. Bibi definitely won't seek other avenues.
edit:
You do realize how ridiculous it sounds that you are going to basically let the guy win who:
It's not "letting" if that's specifically their goal
Fair point. It's hard to tell in this day and age who is astroturfing and who is simply very seriously misguided.
Agree, but if you look at this dude's post history they are rabidly obsessed with blaming this on Biden.
Similar events have happened in the past with israel and American president's have shut them down with one phone call.
In addition to Biden not stopping the Genocide, Biden bypassed Congress to give israel weapons to commit more Genocide.
If Trump wins it will be the fault of the people that supported Biden doing Genocide so much that Biden did not think he needed to stop doing Genocide.
Nope. It will be the fault of people who didn't vote for the other candidate with full knowledge of how first-past-the-post elections work. You lot want to throw the baby out with the bathwater on this one, and it is knuckle-draggingly stupid. Maybe if Trump had come out and said he would unequivocally cockblock Israel from further action in Gaza, it would be one thing, but there is exactly zero evidence of this, and the rest of the garbage that comes with a Trump presidency is very much a known quantity. Including his stated intentions to end the American experiment as we know it.

The US is the single biggest supporter of the Israeli genocide. You genuinely believe the president of the United States can do nothing about this? That it's so incredibly complex that the US president has no sway over these decisions. You're going to drive me insane, I am going insane. I can't keep seeing shit like this.
Then go insane, shill.
Who am I shilling for? As far as I'm aware I'm not promoting anyone here. The sources are literally direct links to the UN website. These are not opinion pieces that can be argued. The US did this the US is responsible for its own actions. The president of the United States, head of the executive branch is responsible for their own actions. I'm so confused as to what you think I'm doing here
Are you suggesting that the head of the most powerful military in the world and the individual responsible for US international diplomacy who has the power to organize treaties and appoint ambassadors should not be held accountable for their actions?
Or is it that you think the US has no control over its client state that could hardly survive without its sponsorship? Because if that's the case there is historical precedent that it does. There have has been more than one occasion where Israeli overstepped far enough that the standing US president has to tell them to cut that shit out and they did. Sure maybe Bibi has turned Israeli into a rogue state, if that's the case so you really think we could't stop him? The US has invaded for much less
Let's presume, for a moment, that you are not being disingenuous. Let's also presume that Biden simply won't do the thing you want him to do, which is the most likely scenario. What is your endgame? We know what will happen: Trump will get elected. He will also definitely not do the thing you want. Now you have a president who will further embolden Israel to do as it pleases.
Care to offer an alternate endgame?
"A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or group of people when he or she does not benefit and may even suffer losses." By this definition, sitting out the vote when you want Israel to stop, thereby allowing an even more pro-Israel president to become elected, is stupid.
edit: It's been 13 hours and so far, crickets. As I thought would happen.
