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.

Do you really believe that killing every member of hamas will stop the cycle of hate and violence?
I love that people can just add "factually" to things and they become true.
Factually, it'd only create more of them. We've seen this before. Killing them only pisses off their friends/family/others nearby and spreads it. The only solution is change coming from internally, which also has to happen in Israel. As long as a Zionist is in control killing Palestinians, there's always going to be conflict.
Ah yes. Eliminating the Nazi state really only created more German Nazis.
Since when was the goal in WW2 to kill every member of the Nazi? The actual goal is to stop the war. Attempting to purge Palestine of every Hamas member is destined for failure and only perpetuate the conflict in the long run.
Honestly, possibly. It didn't get rid of them at least. Many were hired by the US and Russia, and many fled in particular to Latin America, where they still use Nazi symbols today.
That's not to say the war was wrong or ineffective. It's a different situation. Many people stopped following the Nazis because they were shown the atrocities the state committed. Most of this was hidden from the populace by the Nazi party. That and them no longer benefiting from the party is what drove most people away, not losing a war.
For example, the French people fought well after the state surrendered in WWII. The state losing the war will not stop people from fighting if they believe in the cause, and especially if the oppressors keep harming them. This is more equivalent to the situation in Palestine/Israel, not the Nazis.
You do realize that every Hamas member has families and friends, right? You kill them and their loved ones now hate you, their kids will likely grow up into vengeful extremists and anyone caught in the crossfire won't view you positively either. Your method only works if you completely genocide Palestine, now there's no one left to hate.
What an insane justification for genocide
Remember when the people of Israel were extremely oppressed by an extremist party?
Your argument won't hold up. It's a dumb way to think, be better.
Remember when the world stood up and tried to eradicate that extremist party? That’s what’s hopefully going to happen now.
Living under the IDF is continued oppression and death
They should've taken the two state solution the multiple times it was offered, then.
except that by bombing Civilians they will inevitably create new Hamas-Terrorist.
