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.

If it was a democracy, it would be a catastrophe for whom?
Zionists have been occupying Palestine for 75 years. This is oppressor and oppressed. An internationally backed military super power and an indigenous armed resistance. This is asymmetrical.
Mandatory Palestine encompassed all the land Israel inhabits. That land was intended to be given to the Palestinians before Israel waged a campaign of terrorism against the British and used post-WW2 sympathies to gain it.
They are occupying Palestine.
Netanyahu is acting like Hitler in this case. Remind me how peace with the Nazi's was achieved again?
Isn't he trying to starve 2 million people to death?

Someone sure is ...
They're both genocidal maniacs that want to kill all people that don't belong to their group to expand their Lebensraum.
The Nazi's are the most fitting comparison for israel.
Anyone with knowledge about the Holocaust can recognize that israel does everything the Nazi's did. Murder people with more advanced weaponry. Violate all human rights. Torture camps, mass executions, mass child murder. Stealing of land.
They're only missing the cremation ovens.
What? Israel is currently committing genocide, even in areas they successfully occupied. Nazis are the most fitting comparison I've seen.
The choices at this point are a flawed one state uniting two bodies, or one state with a successful ethnic cleansing. Two state solution has been taken off the table by illegal settlements of the west bank and, soon, Gaza.
I don't accept that thesis. Yes extremists are going to extremist. However we've gotten really good at identifying and arresting extremists in the last 20 years. I think the common people would be perfectly fine with the idea, as long as the Palestinians and Israelis maintain a right of return but not a right of seizing property.
Correct.
The only way a one state solution happens is if the other state ceases to exist.
Which seems to be what the hardliners on both sides of this conflict are advocating for.
