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.

This type of collective punishment against civilians is a war crime.
Maybe Israel should have consider that before declaring the people of Palestine, as a whole second class citizens and slaves and erected a part-time between the two. Fuck israel and I hope they die
every concession Israel offered was a joke. Which was also affirmed by the US, the EU, and the UN. Why did you conveniently forgot how this trio, (together with an at the time still sort of sane Russia) proposed The Roadmap For Peace, which required Israel to stop building new settlements in Palestinian areas - but Israel said no. because fuck the Palestinians.
the Olmert deal was opposed by the israelis themselves. and the Palestinians said no, because the Olmert deal was a unilateral action by Israel. the Palestinians wanted to follow the plan that the EU, US, and UN proposed.
the Peel commission? the one from 1937 you mean? you're joking right? you had to reach almost a century into the past to find an example that fit your narrative? never mind that everyone involved in that time is long dead.
you are spreading bullshit propaganda. Israel is an apartheid state and has been indiscriminantly killing Palestinians year after year.
"to the people actively using electricity to kill their civilians"
Right. So you're telling me they have data analysts that can precisely tell which buildings are occupied by hamas and which are occupied by civilians. You know, intel that would be worth a fortune for them considering that's kinda their enemy and it would be an incredible chance to get rid of them once and for all. Notwithstanding the fact that they'd have to have the ability to individually toggle electricity for every building, which, I have a feeling, does not in fact work that way.
There is no civilian infrastructure in a concentration camp. There are no civilians in a concentration camp.
Not having that data is exactly the point, if they had that sure they could specifically cut power. But they don't have that, and Hamas is mixing with civilians, so they're forced to cut power across the board
Those ideas originate mostly from those within reach of the IDF. They know what to do.
The second half of your comment refutes the first
By all accounts the attacks are over, what’s left are reprisals
I heard Israel declared war. It would be odd to deliver electricity to your enemy. Other campaigns target power plants. Short of expecting Israel to bomb their own plants, I would expect them to simply cut power if they can. Not saying they should, just pointing out it's a common thing in war.
no water, that’s not a reprisal? medical care compromised by no power, if you’re into reprisals I think you should say it, but until now you’ve been entirely dishonest about it
I might be wrong here, but i don't think Hannah is using Tesla cannons to bomb Israel. How exactly does electricity factor into their plans?
