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.

Genocide is not just extinction but an attempt to destroy or erase a nation. Likud’s charter calls for the elimination of a Palestinian state and its leaders have talked openly about using the military to drive all Palestinians into Egypt and Jordan and eliminate the idea of a Palestine. That IS genocide.
Top satire, trying to use math to say it’s just a little bitty genocide.
Ah yes, using the Holocaust as a baseline is truly a big brain move /s
Thanks Ben Shapiro. Very cool.
Not enough dead children you yet?
I'm going to start killing 231 people who piss me off every day, because that's fine, right? It's not like I'm committing a genocide. By your own standards, I'd be doing something "VERY REASONABLE." [sic]
It's really weird that you think the worst genocide in human history (at least the worst one that I'm aware of) is the minimum standard for any genocide. According to your own standards, only 1 genocide has ever occurred. A quick look at the history books shows that's obviously not true. Countless peoples have faced genocide of varying degrees throughout history. If you think taking a mere 23 years to exterminate an entire culture/people from a specific region of Earth is some vast amount of time, I really have to wonder exactly what the fuck is wrong with you.
EDIT: In response to your edit, how about you directly respond to even a single person who called you out on your atrocious bullshit with "FACTS AND LOGIC" [sic] instead of just editing your post to whine about down votes. You are disgusting and deserve to step on stray Legos every time you stand up.
Your math is wrong. Israel has killed 1% of the population of Gaza (23,000 out of an estimated 2.3 million) in under three months. So at the current death rate they would kill the entire population in 12.5 years, not 23.
On the night of August 8-9, the Manson family murdered everyone who was home at the Tate house - Sharon Tate, who was 8 1/2 months pregnant, Jay Sebring, a celebrity hairdresser; Abigail Folger, a coffee heiress; her boyfriend Wojciech Frykowski, an aspiring screenwriter; and Steven Parent, an 18-year-old visiting the property's caretaker. This is the very definition of a murder. Therefore, no Jews were ever murdered because it didn’t happen exactly like what I’m arbitrarily declaring to be the very definition of a murder. There’s no legal definition of what constitutes a murder. There have never been any murders before or since.
This is FACTS AND LOGIC.
Seemed pretty obvious from the first para, but even your edit doesn't seem to be helping.
But Hamas only killed 1139 Israelis in their attack, not even getting to the 4000 per day threshold, so Israel should not even be allowed to counter attack at all.
