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.

Literally no new info. "We watched the videos on liveleak and while we don't know what happened we know it wasn't our team".
And what's this?
Oh come the fuck on. Who is still buying this shit? "Hamas beheaded babies! JK we didn't say that. But heres 42 minutes of footage that confirms it but we will only let journalists watch if we can strap them down like Alex in A Clockwork Orange. Here's our evidence we didn't attack Al-Ahli. Ohh that's been determined to be fake by a 3rd party? Well we actually have extra secret audio we didn't tell you about before"
Netanyahu is somehow "my girlfriend goes to a different school"-ing his way through this war and dumbasses are lapping it up.
The US has microphones at the bottom of the fucking ocean to listen for submarines and I'm expected to believe we don't have a single camera pointed at Israel/Palestine? Come the fuck on.
Occam's Razor, the simpler answer is probably the correct one -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyNLvL_8SeY
The beheaded babies thing was blown out of proportion. One official reporter on the ground interviewed some IDF soldiers who said witnessed many families slaughtered in their homes, some beheaded including babies. She asked him how many and he said around 40 in that village. She then wrote the piece contain the incorrect claim. I do sympathise with you in the sense that the pro-Israelis took that 40 beheaded babies thing way too far and they should, at minimum, retract such claims in their news outlets. Now, this one wrongly interpreted claim does NOT mean civilians weren't targeted inside their homes and slaughtered, tortured, burnt, you name it. Hamas did NOT target military or essential services sites (like their electric grid or water supplies). They targeted civilians who could not defend themselves. If that's not terrorism, I don't know what is... Did you see the clip where a member of Hamas is walking through that party place and is shooting each portable toilet to kill anyone hiding inside them? What do you think of that? There were many non-Israelis present at that event. Do they get to the right to criticise Hamas?
I haven't said it in a minute so I'll repeat it. Killing civilians is not ok no matter who does it. It doesn't matter that Israel kills 36x as many civilians or that the US gives Israel $3-$4 Billion a year or that Netanyahu funded Hamas or that Israel is a colonist apartheid state, it is wrong when Hamas kills civilians.
53.5% of children in Gaza have PTSD, is that not the result of terrorism? How about what's going on in Gaza right now? How about the settler terrorism committed by Israel? To be clear I'm not saying that what happened on Oct 7th was not terrorism, I'm not denying Hamas committed terrorism but it is hard to think they are somehow more culpable than the much better equipped Israel.
nope, source?
Sure? I'm not really sure what that has to do with the attack on Al-Ahli.
There have also been beheaded baby corpses found, though it is unclear whether they were beheaded before or after death.
