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.

They are not equal one is a tool of the other. I miss when we had Arafat and Rabin and hope.
The borders of the State of Israel, during the permanent solution, will be beyond the lines which existed before the Six-Day War. We will not return to the 4 June 1967 lines. - Yitzhak Rabin
During the peace process he didn't stop illegal settlements The "solution" wasn't going to happen when he refused to bring back all land minus Israel to Palestinians.
What is the point of nostalgia anyway . Both Arafat and Rabin are dead. None of israeli parties are pro decolonization
The only tool is the Palestinian authority with on ground facts. If we determine who is the tool by the number of people dying due to the occupier aggression than all resistance group in past occupied people was all tools
No a lot of the old resistance weren't tools, but they (Israël) have learned from that. So they have cultivated resistance that is shaped to look like the kind of thing the West fears (wether you call it Islamophobia or not, it works) . Secular, leftist groups easily got sympaty abroad while religiously inspired fanatics get easily classified with groups like ISIS or Boko Haram. And I'm not saying they are like thise groups just that they have properties that allow people to classify them in the same range, and that is by Israeli design.
If you want help in your war, get an enemy that other people don't like as well. Make them strong enough that they can really hurt, but not strong enough that they have a chance of winning and let them attack civilians and minor military targets but never the real policy makers. That is absolutely what Israel has done.
Violence in terrorism in resistance group has zero influence on how the west was backed
The western media don't talk about the colonization when there is no hamas attacks. Most of the western west pro palestinians also only wake up when palestinian resistance escalate
The plo and fatah was always secular groups they was labeled as terrorist groups because they did armed resistance and of course with some terrorism operation
Without resistance groups regardless of if it is violent or not, israel would still maintain the occupation , settlers would keep harrasing palestinian and the west would be totally silent
This is the dangerous status quo that you don't realize that your logic imply
