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.

Out of curiosity, did you react as emotionally when Hamas specifically targeted and executed 1500+ civilians in Gaza? Do you react the same way knowing that Hamas still shoots rockets with a goal to kill civilians? Do you? Do you understand that if it were not For Hamas goal to destroy Israel (apparently including civilians) nothing of this would not happen including blockade by Egipt and Israel? That people in Gaza could have lived more prosperous lives in democratic state if it were not for Hamas who usurped power since 2006 and kicked out political opponents from Gaza? Do you?
Prosperous lives my ass. 2nd class citizens is how they are treated. Look at the West Bank, no Hamas and yet they still get their land stolen from them.
Where did I say that I do not care about Palestinian lives? Seriously chill. And Hamas existed in force before election of Hamas in power. Why do you think Egypt blockaded Gaza too? It is Hamas who prevented and prevents people of Gaza to live their lives in peace with neighbors and without blockade from neighbors. (Which I already told in my previous post). I care about lives of civilians on either side, but you looks like have just spewing hatred for one side.
What about the West Bank? What about when Hamas signed ceasefires with Israel and it was Israel who didn't follow them? What about when Israel opposed the short-lived unified Palestinian government and its attempt at peace, then stonewalled peace efforts by the PA?
It's Israel's fault that they can't live in peace with their neighbors.
People like the person you respond to are absolutely biased and don’t give equal reactions to this situation, their original comment is brain dead af too as tensions are absolutely still rising and they will continue to rise as surrounding nations watch and consider joining the conflict. They are clearly anti-IDF, which is very understandable, you can see emotion dripping from every sentence lol. Fuckin moron.
With that said, “this wouldn’t have happened if Hamas…” bit is way the fuck off course. Israel fomented this situation over the many many years of Palestinian persecution. Yes these two nations have never been friends and the original placement of Israel there was always problematic as fuck, but Israel’s actions are a main reason of Hamas’ existence and motivations.
Palestinian oppression did not begin in 2006 with the rise of Hamas like you imply. Hamas is a disgusting piece of shit terrorist group hit they are not the sole or original cause of tension and hatred between these groups.
Pushing reductive narratives helps no one, and in that regard you are as guilty as the emotional moron you replied to.
That’s the point. These are human lives.
Do you decide whether or not to care about dead civilians based on their religion? Get off your high horse.
Talk about an emotional reaction!
