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.

2 wrongs don't make a right. I don't get why ppl have to pick sides on this.
Hamas is commiting war crimes by using these civilian facilities as shelter, and Israel and the US and comitting war crimes by bombing them. Both are wrong and whataboutism doesn't change that.
Support for Palestinians is not support for Hamas.
We are happily anti-Israel and anti-Hamas.
You should be anti-IDF and anti-Netanyahu. There are plenty of innocents in Israel who do not want to conquer Palestine.
Last I checked Israel was a democracy, and has had plenty of time to stop its actions.
If the Israeli people don’t like being judged by the actions of their chosen government representing them than it’s on them to change that.
Then why are they living in Israel?
Paying Israeli taxes. Helping the Israeli economy. Serving in the Israeli military which they're all required to do.
Heh. Kind of hard to make the 'civilian' argument when all of your civilians are required to join the military.
Because that's their home, and they were likely born their.
And Hamas has majority support in Palestine, so if the above is anti-Hamas but not anti-Palestine, then they should be anti-IDF but not anti-Israel.
How exactly does that work when all Israeli citizens are required to join the military?
Because it's only a 30 month service. The majority of Israelis aren't actively in the IDF, and the majority have never been anywhere near Gaza.
So they're absolved of all responsibility?
What a convenient system, lol.
Did they go kill Gazans? If not they are absolved. Just as Palestinians who aren't in Hamas are absolved of responsibility even if they voted for Hamas or sheltered Hamas terrorists in the past.
It's a logical system.
The thing is that I can very clearly see that Israel is bombing a hospital. But so far I haven't seen anything that shows that Hamas had a military base under it. I've been shown some weapons and vehicles, which could easily have been staged, and some doors and tunnels that may be connected to the hospital and which may have entirely peaceful purposes.
I have to say, also, that I'm no longer taking Israel at it's word, not since they were caught out lying about the almost pristine "top secret" attack plans and maps that supposedly were carried through 80-degree heat for several hours, through at least one battle, were "recovered" by Israeli soldiers who checked that the bodies were dead before searching them and finding the "battle plans", then carried around by the Israeli soldiers before they conveniently "ran into" some reporters who were allowed to take quick pictures of the "battle plans". Remarkably pristine those "battle plans", for everything they've supposedly been through, they're not even folded over next to the staple ...
Who knew bringing wounded hostages to a hospital was "terror infrastructure". They're not even really trying.
God what utterly braindead leaps of bad faith argumentation. Hostage taking: bad. Getting hostage's wounds treated: good. The article even says they were taken somewhere else afterward.
Do you realize how insane you sound? The person you're talking to expresses skepticism and uses their critical thinking, while not taking sides, and you're accusing them of being a terror apologist.
Here's a crazy idea: you can be critical of both hamas and the idf. Being suspicious towards information that can be instrumentalized and asking questions to one side at one point is not and endorsement of the other side.
uh did you reply to the right comment?
nowhere did I take any sides, and nowhere did I compare anything or bring up something else, so youre response makes absolutely no sense
I was just adding to your comment, as people try to figure out if it was really a hospital or not. No need to be fragile, it's called a discussion.
ah I see, sorry. I thought you were responding to me, and not adding to my comment
All good, i guess i'm just annoyed at people who are looking to know if it's realllly a hospital or not. Like that would change that they are both horrible (Hamas, Israel).
It wasn't aimed at people like you just adding context. I guess I could have just started my own thread haha, that was a bit confusing i agree
