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.

Swap the word Hamas with israel every time you think there's a great argument to post. Helps to avoid advocating for the murder of civilians like some crazy extremist.
An extremist would say that this can't end until one side kills the other, so might as well get it over with.
I don't believe that. I think as humans we have an obligation to try for peace without murdering half a million people. Unlike most people here, I want to believe that someday both sides can find a way to peace.
But if you insist that one side is good and one side is bad, then this can't end well.
You're also a racist that believes all Palestinians want to kill all Israelis.
You state this openly, and then post a link to a study that doesn't make that claim at all or anything resembling it and call it a source. Which, of course, isn't how sources work. This is how sources work: https://lemmy.ml/post/15906506/11178832 The important bit there is that the source actually shows what I said it shows because I'm not a bad faith liar that enjoys justifying genocide.
You're already insisting one side is good and one side is bad when you intentionally, and surreptitiously lie to try and get people to think your racist statement is true, hoping they don't actually click through to your so-called sources.
So, please, pardon me if I don't believe your bullshit pretending you want peace between the two sides.
Yes, "lemmy.ml" is how sources work.
No, sources link by linking to the thing you say you're linking to.
In this example, I'm linking to your disgusting racist lie in your post that you also appended a source to that didn't corroborate your racist lie.
I'm going to be curious to see if you end up editing out the proof of your racism eventually in the future.
I would argue that one side is fighting to achieve peace while the other side is fighting for the destruction of a population and the annexation of their land.
Remind me again who is rejecting the ceasefire offers.
Hilarious. Which side is that?
(The second part I won't argue. The inevitable annexation is deplorable.)
Hamas is has laid out a very clear and peace plan and has even agreed to a 2 state solution.
Objectively looking at the situation one cannot say that there are two sides which do not want peace.
Only one side does not want peace, and that is israel.
If Hamas hasn't given up their hostages, they must not be that interested in peace.
Israel said they will not stop the Genocide nor release the Palestinian hostages if Hamas releases their hostages. So not sure what you are talking about.
