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.

Weird just a few days earlier they said Spain should look to the time of Muslim rule in southern Spain for atrocities against Jews. Which there weren't Jewish people and culture prospered under the Muslim rule and then got pogromed when the Christians took back over. Now they refer to exactly that.
It is weird that Israel is hellbent not only on revisionism for its own history, but other peoples history too. Or rather it is pretty straight forward as Israel is a fascist colonial entity and shares its interest in revisionism with the Nazis and other colonial genociders.
It's incredibly difficult to overstate how damn correct you are.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_age_of_Jewish_culture_in_Spain
7-8 centuries of Muslim rule, and Jews become renowned as artisans and philosophers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expulsion_of_Jews_from_Spain
The Catholic kings finish conquering the last bastion of Muslims in Iberia, and immediately next they tell all Muslims and Jews to either convert to Christianity or to flee the peninsula, because they aren't going to like what's planned for them next. A very different ruler in Europe welcomed them, however:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Ottoman_Empire
Basically, the Turks managed to help Constantinople regain some of the economic importance it had gained during the centuries of collapse of the Byzantine Empire because they welcomed Jewish artisans that had been kicked out of Iberia.
lol there were plenty of colonialist genociders before the US. The British empire, the Roman Empire, etc.
You complete lack of knowledge of the British empire is hilarious in the context of a discussion on colonialism.
The OG huh?
What’s OG mean you inveterate cunt?
What came before the US you dense motherfucker?
No one is denying that indigenous American people were genocided.
Everyone is pointing out that others did it first, to other populations, and the USA in no way can considered the “OG”.
You dumb fuck.
How is the US the OG???
The US isn't the original coloniser. Ghengis Khan did a bloody good job 900 years ago. Alexander the Great was Over 2000 years ago. The US is just shy of 250 years old. So how the fuck is the US the OG (Original gangster)...
I guess your history knowledge is pretty pethetic.. Either that or you don't know what the terms you're using means
Navajo weren't the original genocide, it also wasn't one of the biggest, History doesn't begin when the US was founded.
Albigensian Crusade (Cathar genocide) where they killed 1 000 000 people was back in the year 1209, it is one of the first documented genocides.
Enraging yourself because you don't have the mental capacity is hilarious. History didn't start 250 years ago with the US. If you had a proper well-rounded education you might understand that.
I suggest you go read a book within your ability. Try "Spot the dog goes to school". It.might be a little advanced for you but you can lift the flaps.
Its funny how its the only thing you want to talk about and no one gives a shit because your delivery is retarded.
No one will ever take you seriously if this is your way of responding to anything. I appreciate you might have some passion about it, but resorting to insults isn't going to strengthen your argument. Besides that, you don't listen and get stuck on a loop like a broken record.
Clearly you do. You can't help your impulsive self. I bet you're stewing in front of your phone/computer taking it out on anyone unfortunate to be around you.
Bro… you are so far off that you aren’t even in the same ball field
Do you know what OG means?
You know he doesn’t. Honestly I’m surprised he knows where the reply button is.
Go look up the definition for original.
Also resorting to insults shows your lack of capacity and you lose the argument immediately even if you're right.
Irrelevant to everything.
Not even close.
