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.

Nobody wants to see those kids die more than Hamas. It is pan-Islamism's strongest weapon against the world's western democracies. These kids are victims of a religious cult that put them in harm's way on purpose. The bomb is actually for Hamas, not the kids.
Yeah well terrorists don't get to dictate the terms of the engagement. Hamas has to go and the tunnels has to go too.
And if the people of Gaza want to put their kids on top of the tunnels and in the room with a bunch of Hamas members, that's on the people of Gaza. They could and they should surrender tomorrow and this war would be over.
They don't just get to declare themselves immune from attack because as a culture they've decided human shields is not just acceptable, but somehow honorable.
I haven't justified any war crimes.
That hasn't happened so no worries there. The bombings are very discriminate, actually.
Lol you're either a low effort troll orna right wing idiot
Please fuck off.
I'm a pretty left wing person. Two time Bernie alum. Kindly imagine that your opinion is not the only one and that perhaps you've been tricked by a sensationalist media that wants to reelect Donald Trump and a foreign media that is funded by actual far right dictators? Or perhaps I am not a troll, but a head of state of virtually any western nation, or a member of Congress from either party, or one of the hundreds of thousands of people who work in the foreign service or intelligence corps and just know more about this.
I'm sure you are Mr 'bombing children is ok'
That isn't what I said. Do you have just a lizard brain, incapable of nuance or depth? War is always wrong. Letting Hamas have a country is much more wrong.
Yes that is what you said. Maybe your lizard brain can't remember things you wrote less than a day ago.
There's no nuance when it comes to dropping bombs on refugee camps. You either done it or you didn't. Israel did. Idk why you try to pretend the opposite when their leaders openly admit doing it.
Nah you just have poor reading comprehension. Sorry I couldn't dumb it down enough for you to understand but I'm not your teacher.
The bomb you're talking about on a refugee camp killed two Hamas leaders. Unfortunately, it started a fire that spread to the camp and burned the flammable tents. Sometimes a bomb starts a fire when it explodes. Do you think that Hamas members do not know this, do you think that the people of Gaza do not know this?
Lmao please.
You fucking troll
So Nikki Haley is in agreement with Hamas and supporting the thing they want?
You are fucking disgusting. If Israel can only "finish Hamas off" by killing 500 000 children then Israel is fucking incompetent and needs to find a different way. There is no reality in which that is acceptable.
Obviously that would be unacceptable. That isn't what I suggest. 500,000 people won't be killed. They killed only 28,000 after eight months. What a joke to call that genocide. 99% of Gaza still alive, apparently not so insane as to get tricked into being human shields for terrorists. They knew what the tunnels were for when they put Hamas in charge and let them sink shafts through all their colleges and hospitals and apartment buildings. 450 miles of tunnels in an area only 25 miles wide. Sold out the foundation of the land to kill 1,000 Israelis, nearly all of them Jews. I'm sure the Hamas leaders get paid by Iran per Jew killed
Hey, maybe instead of seeing more dead kids, the people of Gaza could, I don't know, help defeat Hamas and maybe someday know hope and prosperity, rather than living in abject poverty under a "government" that is happy to see them die to Israeli bombs? Just an idea. Doesn't seem like the current course has worked well for Gazans. If I were the 99% in Gaza, I'd be looking for change, but hope and free will are other victims of Hamas's leadership of Gaza.
Nobody is going to miss Hamas when it's gone and it will be gone. Bet. Will you admit to being wrong about all this when the IDF does finish off Hamas, stops bombing targets, and ~98% of Gaza is still alive, ready to help rebuild?
E: To the utter know nothing that reported me for advocating killing children. Literally eat shit. How dumb could you be to read this and think I would be so disgusting as to suggest children should be killed? Sorry the news made you so sad. Really, though, reporting my post for saying war is necessary *even if *some kids get caught up in it, that's the same thing as saying children should be killed? No, dumbass, every one of those kids body's is on Hamas. Everyone of them was an unintentional casualty of Israel defending itself from Hamas's leadership. 15,000 reasons for Hamas to be destroyed, and maybe then the next generation of Gaza can have a chance in hell at actually living a normal life. Your happy to sentence millions of Gaza to live and die under terrorists because you are too sad about reality.
LMAO same in Ukraine civilian casualities are to blame on nazi ukrainian not russian sending bombs
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with a fairly and democratically elected government, who was the subject of an unprovoked invasion for territorial conquest. What a joke to compare the two. Russia is defending itself from jack shit. Russia is leveling apartment buildings and killing civilians by the dozen, and they aren't making any claims that there are terrorists inside the buildings or tunnels dug under them, they are making no attempt to warn anybody. They didn't ask anyone to evacuate. They're murdering people without cause.
Yes cause they are bad guys whereas Israël is good guys murdering for good cause. Quit being dumb its the same thing they murder for territory
Okay Ivan, you are utterly delusional.
Ok Joe Biden keep defending your unsinkable air craft carrier in ME
