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.

Executions ≠ shenanigans. Are you fucking kidding?
Edit: typo
Dang, so the IDF gets your blessing even though they're killing 10x as many civilians as a terrorist organization?
Even though they're killing more civilians than Russia?
Wow it's like you completely and utterly ignored his second paragraph entirely.
Those darn Israelis and their ethnic cleansing shenanigans.
Zionism is a mental illness at this point.
Trials in the Hague followed by imprisonment of all those guilty of war crimes. At this point that Includes most IDF members, their leaders, and the government.
Actually bring consequences to bear and let other Israelis know that this isn't acceptable. Israel also needs to be cut off from the teat of the American military industrial complex.
Same standards for Hamas, but that's a much smaller number.
Any further sabre rattling is met with quick and strong sanctions.
Basically the UN needs to do it's job, but that needs America not to veto.
Probably needs a UN peace keeping force.
...but Hamas is also a political entity and the government of Palestine. Sanctions would matter if Gaza wasn't already blockaded by Israel.
A bi national state modelled on the EU. Palestinian state delineated by the 1967 borders coexisting with the Jewish state. Single market and freedom of movement for all citizens whether Israeli or Palestinian. That way settlers don't have to be removed and Palestinians can work in the cities as they did before Oslo.
I'm not the person you're talking to but as far as i can see the only way to go is one state solution.
The constant attacks against Israel and it's increasing isolation only probs Zionists right. Jews can only trust themselves for their own defense and need a state for that (that's what Zionism is). People like you feed Zionism everyday.
You're conflating Jews with an extremist ideology that can only seem to exist through apartheid.
Ones terrorist group is another's resistance heroes. Which is which very much depends on the side you're sitting at.
Hamas is indeed a terror group and should be removed but it's hard not to see your bias. In sheer numbers, the IDF has killed multiples of what Hamas killed, in cruelty they're really the same, and Hamas has the "excuse" of 70 years or so of oppression, murder, theft, etc by the Israeli side, the IDF doesn't have that excuse.
The IDF is a terrorist organisation too and the only difference is that the IDF is state sanctioned and managed, whereas Hamas is not.
You, however, call what is starting to look like a genocide "shenanigans" that should be better managed whereas you outright call Hamas a terrorist group. Bias much?
Hey don't dare to call Hamas as cruel as the IDF. They don't torture their hostages nor shoot children. Nor do they try to kill people from other religions such as Christians living in Gaza nor do they try to steal other people's land.
They resist a genocidal Nazi regime and sometimes don't do it the neatest way but from their position of fighting against their oppressors they hold pretty high moral standards.
Hamas is infinitely humane than the IDF.
Was Native American raids on "Settlements" terrorism? Was Nat Turner's rebellion terrorism?
Hamas is evil and the acts they have done are evil. But they weren't created in a vacuum. Peace and a one or two state solution needs to be agreed apone by all with a right to self determination for the cycle of evil to stop.
It's time to put in a UN peacekeeping force and a transitional government for a single state solution. Israel has beyond lost it's moral high ground and should be treated like any other colonial remnant in the post colonial world.
You can't kill a terrorist group. The US spent the last 20 years proving that. You can only defend yourself and reform people/institutions to invalidate the ideology.
All israel would need to do for Hamas to die out is not commit genocide or ethnically cleanse Palestinians and occupy their land.
But people here forget that that's literally what israel is about.
When Hamas attacked I commented Israel would lash out with it's usual fervor, making sure that any Palestinians that didn't support Hamas wouldn't have a choice. And that the US world would back Israel, providing more ammunition to the Muslim extremists in the middle east to want to continue to fight the US. And Israel working at that time to a potential deal actually worked out with Saudi Arabia would get smashed. Hamas played the world like a fucking fiddle and literally everyone danced along with the tune.
Israel has been doing that for 70 years
I'm glad somebody else sees it, too. The Oct. 7th attack doesn't make any sense, except to provoke Israel to overreact and draw other groups and countries into the fight. For fuck's sake, Osama bin Laden straight-up explained this strategy to the world after the 9/11 attacks.
Shenanigans are things you can film with Yakkity Sax as background music. Boots Randolph doesn't provide the soundtrack to genocide.
You can't use that word!!! The Big Brains™ will tell you that unless Israel is targeting every single Palestinian on earth then it's not genocide!
/Wrist
Get fucked shitbag
Haha murdering civilians is good!
Israel seems to think so
Bad Israel and their shenanigans genocide
Bad Israel and their shenanigans genocide
You mean like how Israel should stop supporting terrorists like Hamas then using them as an excuse to commit genocide?
You really don't know what you're talking about though, this is an often repeated talking point which comes from pretty much nothing, do you have any evidence for it or did you half read a headline in a meme post without realising the argument being made is 'by allowing aid into Gaza it's proping up Hamas' because that's where that 'funding Hamas' line actually comes from.
Israel don't let enough aid through and they're the bad guys, they let aid through and they're the bad guys - they don't have a cease fire and they're the bad guys, or they have a cease fire and fail to totally remove Hamas so again they're the bad guys...
Iran funds Hamas and sturs up trouble as a way of maintaining support at home and due to their fanatical religious ideals -that bit isn't even sightly complicated, you don't need conspiracy theories
No sorry you're right, starve and murder all Palestinians that will solve the problem.
That's clearly not what I'm saying, I'm saying that supplying aid to Palestine is not the same as proping up Hamas so blaming Israel for their existence is absurd
They are are a resistance group, but that's not really imoortant: I agree that Israel is justified in getting rid of them. What isn't justified is almost everything they've done to achieve that aim.
Exactly like the IRA which Britain called terrorists and many others called resistance fighters. It's a matter of perspective.
Lol. Just restating your assertion doesn't make it true. The head of the Turkish state declared that Hamas are resistance fighters. Hamas are resistance fighters by name and are considered so by many in the middle east. The UNs Palestinian expert compared Hamas to the French resistance. You having really big feelings about the situation doesn't change the facts - it's ALWAYS the case that one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. Stomp your feet if it makes you feel better but the world will go on regardless
Whatevs. All you're doing is just restating your assertion. Youre entitled to your wrong opinion but I'm not interested in hearing it. Good luck to you.
JFC you really can't read can you? If you can't take a hint maybe you can take a block
