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.

Something they've yet to substantiate, as the Washington Post showcased yesterday. Conflating taking two injured hostages to a hospital on October 7th and tunnels that were built by Israel themselves in the 80's does not a base make.
But the IDF have clearly determined they don't need to show evidence of any kind and can make any claims they want, even when easily debunked by others, because there are no consequences for lying.
Hard to substantiate better than the very director of an hospital admitting Hamas turned hospitals into military facilities.
The proofs are there. Whether you refuse to look at them because of your blind hatred for Israel is another story, but it would be easier if you just admitted that.
Sorry, but no. A hospital director kidnaped and tortured by the IDF and made to make a statement under duress isn't a credible source of information. Just like how I wouldn't believe the claims of an IDF soldier kidnapped by Hamas if he said the IDF ate babies or something.
Lmao yeah I thought so, it happened to me a few times with Hamas supporters asking for proof when confronted with actual proof. You guys are a quite a crazy bunch I'll tell you that.
Holy crap that video is hugely damning to Hamas!
Doesn't matter to all the anti-semite folks here though, Zionist bad guy is bad and is the reason for poor Palestinians 'misery.
They're pretty insanely biased even in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Honestly I don't think people can be this blind in the face of so much evidence - seems intentional

They're just racists, not the brightest people generally. You can't resonate with logic with them since they follow an ideology, and not facts/logic.
The antisemites that plague this community dont like that video so they have decided it’s fake.
That's generally how they operate lol, there are a lot more videos including with the son of Hamas' leader speaking against his father but I honestly feel I'd be wasting my time posting them here.
