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.

Oh so you are assigning blame for this genocide to Hamas. Insane. You're saying Hamas' actions justify or are responsible for Israel's response of literal genocide. No, nothing justifies genocide. You can't expect a civilian population subjected to the unfathomable daily violence of settler colonialist apartheid to not fight back. Fuck off with that shitty hasbara. This is as ridiculous as both-sides-ing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
If an ethnosupremacist Apartheid state that has continued to live-stream genocide for well over a year is evil, yeah, resistance against that apartheid and genocide is good. In fact, it's just and moral.
You already have the position that Israel's response is expected due to the actions of Hamas. If an apartheid state's inevitable response to resistance against that apartheid is genocide, then yes, that state deserves to be dissolved and the occupied, and especially victims of a genocide, have a right to resist and armed struggle.
No, again that is the Palestinian Authority (PA), which is a case of Counter Insurgency (COIN).
Because he a fucking genocidal Zionist who knows western counties, in particular the US, will give them unlimited material support, international support, and propaganda support for Israel's genocide. Became Zionism is not about the security of Jewish people or even of Israeli's. It's about the extermination of Palestinians, Palestine, and even beyond with Greater Israel.
Wtf? This take is fucking ridiculous. Islamphobia in the west is not the fault of Palestinians, nor Arabs or Muslims in general. Islamphobia is deliberate to justify the unfathomable amount of violence they have subjected the population of the Middle East to. It is state policy and used to dehumanize the victims of Western Chauvinism.
What makes Palestinians the 'kind of people that other nations fear,' exactly? Because by any metric of violence Israel has been far worse both before and after any violent act of resistance by Palestinians. Nor have Palestinians been the one preventing a peace resolution.
'their own senseless violence to radicalize the survivors against them.' You mean the survivors of terrorist attacks against Israel? The party responsible for this violent occupation in the first place? Without which these terrorist attacks wouldn't have happened in the first place? The sense is resistance. Unlike for Zionism, who's many magnitudes more terrorism they subject the Palestinian population to, the sense is to ethnically cleanse the inferior natives.
No. Western nations have supported Zionism, a fascist project, since it's beginning. Zionism weaponizes antisemitism. These countries weren't 'paralyzed.' They've supported the setter colonialism for many decades. They even continue to support the genocide by continuing the provide weapons, do business with, and refuse to sanction a state committing genocide, on top of the violent settlements and ethnic cleansing done for over 76 years. There are much more Christian Zionists than Jewish Zionists. They are not 'paralyzed by the a (false) accusation of antisemitism.' Their interests are ideological and financial.
Yes I assign blame to Hamas because they're the puppet that gives a tiny bit of legitimacy to the horrors Israel is commiting in the eyes of the West.
This does not in any way reduce Israel's responsibility in this at all quite the contrary. The fact that they use Hamas, and Hamas uses the Palestinian population in this way makes it much and much worse. If Hamas were a legitimate resistance they would go after leaders, real strategic targets and such not the attacks that are designed to cause outrage but have no value in advancing their supposed cause.
The only difference between us is that you fall wholeheartedly for the lie that is Hamas. You differentiate them from the PA, but they are one.
They are a legitimate resistance regardless of whether they meet your own imagined standard of what legitimate resistance is. Hamas is not being 'used' by Israel, for the same reasons the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising wasn't 'used' by Nazi Germany. Read Franz Fanon if you want to understand the reality of anti-colonial resistance. All you're doing is carrying water for Zionism, whether you recognize that or not.
That last sentence describes you perfectly. Damn it's sad.
