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.

If the Biden administration really wanted this, they wouldn’t ‘call for’ it. They would demand it and coerce those fascist fucks to comply. This is theater. It provides Biden a talking point to claim that he isn’t quite as ghoulish as a few Americans are starting to realize that he is.
Note that Biden and his administration are changing their tone, only AFTER major backlash from the Muslim community, the UN, EU and all the demonstrations going on. Turkey just cut ties with Netanyahu, yes everybody shits on Turkey, but at least they know how to give a signal.
*"Netanyahu is no longer someone we can talk to. We have written him off," Turkish media quoted Erdogan as saying.
Erdogan's remarks came a week after Israel said it was "re-evaluating" its relations with Ankara because of Turkey's increasingly heated rhetoric about the Israel-Hamas war.* Like, you know everyone has a right to an opinion?
Kids are dying every minute and all Biden can come up with is a plan to fight Islamaphobia? Bitch we don't need your plan, every minority group has learned to survive without you.
The world has changed, no one's buying this shit anymore. There is no fucking way Israel will come out of this war as a victor. Starving people to death, cutting off water, displacing them and then bombing them indiscriminately to death even before setting one foot on the ground and then claim victory? History will know them forever as the cowards they are. Not 'smart' but cowards.
Wouldn't surprise me if Biden threw a few aliens at us at this point to distract us from what's going on.
The only thing he can do now, is to pack up his warships or hell, just even threaten to pack up, to let Israel see how serious he is and STOP Vetoing UN humanitarian aid resolutions.
All hamas has to do is release 200 hostages. Seems very simple to do.
All israel has to do is stop bombing civillians. Seems very simple to do.
Doesn't get their people back. Doesn't stop hamas from attacking them.
So what does Israel stopping the bombing actually achieve? More years of terror inflicted upon the people of Israel from hamas?
You realise that once this is over Hamas would have a really easy time finding new recruits. You don't really expect all those people pushed to the brink won't radicalize, do you?
And then what? Do you seriously think that leveling everything around including civilian infrastructure and in the process killing and injuring tens of thousands is the solution?
Oh so your solution is to kill 2.4M people in the course, how noble of you. I hope your parents are really proud of how good a job they did as parents.
No the solution would be for the Palestinians to evacuate
Ah yes, of course! It's so much more humanitarian to evacuate 2M+ people out of Israel because Israel wants their land.
So tell me how you would feel if someone comes to your home with a gun and tells you that tomorrow you should move to another place with all your family? Seriously!
It's more humane to move millions away from hamas rule where they are used as human Sheila's and lack basic quality of life.
If someone comes to my home with a gun I will shoot them or die trying. I wouldn't allow them into my home and let them attack my neighbor. But that isnwhat Palestinians did when they voted in hamas
I was about to block you when I saw that your 222 comments have the astonishing -999 karma.
Perhaps it is time for you to look in the mirror and ask yourself if all the people here are wrong or there is something wrong with your moral compass, empathy, humanity, etc. I feel sorry about people like you.
Why would I care what others think?
Imagine gay right activists throughout the decades giving up because some people didn't like thier views. Or African Americans or women or Christians.
There it is. Genocide advocation.
Of they don't evacuate that js what will happen. Of they evacuate they will find better loves outside of hamas control and will have bo reason to become radicalized
With no right to return it’s still a genocide. Hamas doesn’t exist in the West Bank and Israel still steals their homes and guns them down.
You’re so painfully naive.
It wouldn't be genocide as the people would still be alive
there’s more to genocide than just killing people
And palatianians van move and still continue thier culture and religions without any issue. Unless you are claiming being human shields for hamas and getting bombed by iseral thier culture
I’m glad you’ve decided that your culture being kicked out of your homes is no big deal. I’m sure the trail of tears is more of a trail of inconveniences in your opinion.
Keep downplaying genocide you dense jackass.
Less years of terror inflicted upon the people of Gaza from Israel.
IMO Israel should also stop targeting journalists
Until hamas attacks Israel again and then Israel attacks again.
If hamas didn't invade and attack innocent people at the start of October then Israel wouldn't be bombing them right now.
Talk, negotiate, turn their own people on them by giving them basic human rights and treating them like real humans instead of what you've been doing to them for decades.
And maybe stop killing peacemakers, remember the photo of Rabin and Arafat shaking hands? That day gave us all so much hope. That was the right way to go instead of giving in to your own terrorist settlers and asshole Netanyahu.
Oh, and take a look at how Ukraine is winning public opinion and the war just by being decent, treating their prisoners of war justly, keeping civilian casualties at a minimum, not killing journalists, not start a disinformation campaign, ...
Isreal already handed back Gaza. Then Gaza voted in hamas.
Ukraine is wasting other nations money esp the usa. No aid should be given for war.
Israel supported Hamas. Funny how you genocidal liars always leave that out.
All I read in the Israeli media is that basically Israel has given up on the hostages. And from Hamas' standpoint, the smart thing to do is to hold on to those hostages for life, because the minute they let them all go, it will be a complete genocide.
You forgot that you have to give the enemy a way out if you want the hostages back. Right now they have nothing to lose and every man, woman and child Israel kills is in their advantage. They may lose their lives, but their lives weren't worth living anyway the way you treated them for generations...but Israel will lose everything in the end and they still can't see it.
You already lost.
The smart thing that hamas could have done is never attack.
Israel is never going to free hundreds of terrorists to get the hostages back because it will only embolden hamas. The only way fir Isreal to stop hamas is to eradicate it
