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.

I can't even comprehend that I'm really reading headlines like this. While the US government cheers from the sidelines. It's unbelievable. Surreal. This is mass murder, massacre after massacre. This is complete and utter destruction. This is what erasing a whole people looks like. Destroying their culture, their homes, their infrastructure, their heritage, their safety, their history, their children, their health, their bodies, their minds, their dignity. It just never ends.
I don't think they're going to stop. I think they have pushed so far and wrought such utter devastation that Gaza is done for. That the Palestinian people and homeland will be completely destroyed. Israel has its sights on even bigger goals now that the world is (miserably) trying to prevent escalating. Gaza will never see a ceasefire while the US exists. Not unless the Israelis suddenly show mercy, and they never have before.
Maybe the most televised and publicized genocide in history. Brought to you by the US state department. Brought to you by zionism. Watching it for over a year has been a long nightmare that never ended. For families there, for children growing up surrounded by death disease devastation and disruption, the damage done is absolutely indescribable. Their are children who are the only living members of their families, who have lost their parents, every single cousin, every uncle, and every grandparent. Who just have no one left at all. And have the unimaginable weight of all the lives they saw cut short around them. There are 13 year old kids there who know they'll be murdered by Israel. They know because it is happening to everyone around them. It has been happening since they were born.
May history never forget the crimes of the zionists, the US government and the European countries that still support Israel against humanity itself.
