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.

USA has the freedom to fly over Israel and airdrop food, build a floating pier to send boats, I suppose with Israel approval, but can't have trucks driven into Gaza. There is a very weird relation going on.
The US, and likely Israel, want no US military on the ground. The risk of an international incident is too high with Israels indescriminate bombing.
Thats why the air drops and the pier exists. Even US soliders driving aid trucks, or maybe especially US soldiers driving aid trucks, would cause huge issues for both countries, even as it would likely save lives overall.
One "accidental" airstrike on a US military aid convoy and you have real shit happening. Not to mention Hamas, fucks that they are, would be glad to kill some Americans if they could.
Its a 70+ yr mess, and ain't no one is solving it unless everyone involved is on board.
Israel wouldn't "accidentally" hit a US aid convoy, they know that would jeopardize military aid. The current gov might be genocidal assholes but they're not that stupid.
Hamas wouldn't just blindly kill Americans, they're also not blindly stupid and they know they'd quickly lose support from younger Americans. Plus that would piss off the Kremlin and they'd get an earful from Iran.
Why would Hamas care about losing support from younger Americans or what the Kremlin thinks? Their sole goal is to achieve Arabic unity by escalating Arabic-Jewish hostilities.
No doubt that many in Hamas want to undermine US military support for Israel, and young Americans protesting is one of the most likely ways that could happen. Their leaders are working with the Iranian government, which is coordinates with the Kremlin.
Armed boats and planes are a lot more difficult for Hamas terrorists to hijack and commandeer versus an unescorted slow moving heavy transport truck.
So far the only attacks on food trucks have been done by Israeli's with the IDF standing idly by, watching it happen.
If you have proof otherwise, please show it.
Armed boats and planes are a lot more difficult for the IDF terrorists to blockade and bomb versus an unescorted slow moving heavy transport truck.
I have no proof, fuck Israeli settlers, I hope they never see peace.
My reflection is on the USA Israel relation. Hamas is gonna Hamas no matter what.
Not when they're dead.
You cant kill an ideology with bullets, if you could I wouldnt be a feral Redneck. Id just be feral.
Yes you can. There's no future in violent radical panislamism.
Have you seen these new directed energy weapons? A shot that used to cost literally a few hundred thousand dollars now costs 13 cents.
No you cant, ideas can be revived. The only way to truly destroy them is to remove the fuel. Which in this case is Israel being bastards.
Where are the trucks right now?
