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.
-
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.

And they elected him over and over again...
and who did the palestinians elect? (when they last had elections mind you)
yes how long ago was the last election in Gaza? and what is the average age in Gaza?
well you could have googled that, im sure you did but didnt like the result.
2006, Hamas. Median age currently 19.6 years (absolute tragedy).
Why is Hamas not letting free elections take place? Oh thats right, you guys LOVE authoritarian violent regimes
It's a literal concentration camp and you're worried about the elections in it? Ask the Israeli government why they funded them in the first place if you're concerned why they exist.
so a terrorist dictatorship which the people don't even have a choice to vote out, is cool in your books. got it.
yeah, I'm sure peace is on the cards with "leadership" like that
And the terrorist democracy is ensuring peace was never an option. The slow ethnic clensing that's about to be a full scale genocide should be more than proof of that, but go ahead. Critique the governmental structure of a prison camp where half the population is children that know nothing but violence and dehumanization from their jailors.
I hope you never have to experience half of their plight. Have some empathy.
you know there's a difference between empathy for the poor bastards forced to live in Palestine and supporting a bunch of jihaddis right? I have no idea how you can't see that
So ask yourself. Why did Isreal support those jihaddis and neutralize their competition? If they cared so much about democracy, seems counter productive no?
It's almost like this is specifically engineered blowback to their violent occupation being used as a justification to complete the genocide they've been slowly creeping toward.
