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.

It's going to be disastrous for Israel if they keep opening up new war fronts, especially if it coincides with beginning to lose funding and military tech from supportive countries. How do they honestly see this ending? I feel bad for the Israelis in Israel that don't support this government or its two criminal "wars." Inevitably they who also suffer for these decisions.
Netanyahu doesn’t think that far ahead. He hopes to push these various groups into war, then he will cry that he’s being attacked for no reason and get Congress to throw tens of billions of dollars at him, and maybe swing the election to Trump as well.
They're taking another page out of Hitler's notebook.
Unfortunately those Israelis are just a tiny fraction. The majority fully support the war efforts. This is what's happening after a concerted effort to dehumanize Palestinians.
I feel bad for anti-zionists throughout history. They've been horribly threatened, attacked, encaged, robbed, genocided, etc. by zionists. But I don't feel bad for them if the state that they oppose fails. They have nothing to gain from zionists continuing with more genocide, terrorism, war, etc.
Yeah that's a better way to put it. Thank you.
Oh yes the biggest victims of this whole thing are the Israelis. Won’t somebody please think of them.
The problem isn't Israelis. The problem isn't Palestinians. The problem is assholes.
Israel seems a little asshole-rich at the moment.
At the moment? Wait until you find out about the last 75+ years of history.
Yeah, but they have those “not in my name” cats too.
So just by the sheer weight of their balls they are winning on mass
Well, TBF Palestine had more than their fair share as well.
The problem is zionism.
