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.

What do you think the French resistance used to fight off Nazi invaders?
Kind words and warm baguettes?
The "settlers" often have armed IDF escorts when they take the land. And considering the IDF was still there, that might have only been hours earlier.
And that's not getting into how even as bad as this sounds...
The only thing we know is what IDF and the "settlers" say. They could have made up any story and what they're saying still makes them the obvious villains in the story.
They might have just walked up, executed these Palestinians, and then thrown some hand tools around them and cried victim.
That shit happens.
In 2024 why are you taking the word of "settlers" with no legal right to where they're settling?
Or the foreign military who have no reason to be in that foreign country to begin with except to help steal the land?
There's no justification for them to even be there.
The French Resistance wasn't stupid enough to take on an armed encampment. Then again, these were stupid kids. And it goes on. Missles still fly into Israel. Raids like this still happen.
So...
If someone showed up to your house with a foreign government's military. And they said they're taking all your belongings and to fuck off or they'll kill you.
How many times would you start a new life from nothing before fighting back?
Would you eventually just lay down and die instead of starting over? Or do you think eventually the foreign military will kill you first if you don't put your hands up fast enough?
What would you do in their shoes if this was such a terrible plan?
You can try to justify it anyway you want to. Doesn't matter to me.
Justify what?
Fighting to take their land back from illegal foreign invasion?
Why are you ok with the illegal seizure of land that as far as anyone can tell, literally just happened since the IDF was still there?
A bunch of foreign soldiers show up and point guns at you so if you don't die right then it's their forever?
I'm not trying to justify anything. I'm trying (and failing) to understand what you're going on about.
If the original land owners had brought their own military with guns, would that mean they got it back, is that the difference?
So anyone with a gun just automatically gains land rights?
