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.

"and false allegations Hamas committed mass rape on 7 October."
Did the UN not state that there were grounds to believe rape did occur?
rape occurred. mass rape did not.
Evidence of multiple rapes exist. While I understand you may have a set number that you consider mass rape (I don't know what that number is) we have no evidence that the number of rapes were above or below that number.
What we do know is downvoting the discussion of this is supporting rapists. There is no denying that no matter how someone twists it. I would support a 2 state solution with an immediate ceasefire.
Israel has been in the wrong. Hamas has been in the wrong. Rape is always wrong.
Hey, you didn't answer but there is 1 downvote on my question. You're not downvoting the discussion of this and supporting rapists, are you?
40% upvoted on mine, so 60% of the people have downvoted it. Those numbers can't be hit with 1 downvote. Did you have a comment you are referring to?
Also it was originally to the comment I made which is at -5... Which had no responses, just people supporting rapists at the time.
Yes mate I said "my question". Not sure what you're on about talking about your comments... you seem confused lol.
I was confused I didn't see your comment at first, I responded to it a couple hours ago though when I found it. Without seeing that, figuring out what your comment meant was like piecing together Legos and Roblox. I just assumed there was a translation issue, as I often talk to people from other countries using translations in Discord/Exeragram and such. (online game that has a bad chat feature so we make due elsewhere)
Edited my tired errors: their/there and such
What is the evidence and where can I read about it? You're not talking about ZAKA, are you?
I think this is the comment you were referring to. Do you have a source that you trust? You could start by reading here, apnews may not be a source you like though:
https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-un-rape-oct7-hamas-gaza-fe1a35767a63666fe4dc1c97e397177e
Why wouldn't I like AP? Seems you have some preconceived notions.
I think I see what's going on- you don't know there's a difference between "evidence" and "reasonable grounds to believe".
But yes, I had seen this article. The thing is, if someone has been caught lying about something several times, they start to lose credibility right?
Especially the bomb squad moving the girl and then making allegations of rape. Did the bomb squad rape her? Did they undress her from the waist down after she was killed? There are reasonable grounds to believe that, but there is no evidence.
You should really look into ZAKA and it's debunked allegations.
Remember when Hamas beheaded 40 babies? Even Biden said so. The death toll on Oct. 7 included 36 children, so there aren't even reasonable grounds to believe that, let alone evidence. Plus an Israeli tank killed 2 children in Kibbutz Be'eri on Oct 7, so the numbers just don't add up. This is actually evidence of lying.
Without performing the proper medical tests in a timely manner evidence outside of people visually seeing it and victims saying it is all you can acquire.
I asked about AP because I just assumed everyone distrusts different sources. AP I have found to be usually pretty good so I chose them to link. If you didn't care for them I figured we could find another source you may find more trustworthy. I'll look more into your links later, but yes there were many lies about Oct 7th when it first occurred.
