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.

Hamas being the wrong one? Certainly but they did NOT start it.
You, Israel did start it certainly. 1948, stealing the land, illegal settlements, driving 750 000 Palestinian out and murdering many. Not to forget the Apartheid that’s been going on ever since then.
1987 Hamas was created purely because of all what happened in these years. When peaceful revolution is not possible, violent revolution is inevitable.
Yes. What Hamas did and probably still is doing - is wrong.
It is also wrong what Israel has been doing ever since they became a “state”, an illegal state.
The land, the country belongs to the Palestinians. An occupier cannot become its owner.
You (Israel) is just as (if not worse) bad as Hamas. You the one who is killing thousands upon thousands of people. Genocide.
That many countries refuse to acknowledge that an actual genocide is happening, does not mean that it is not happening - because it is happening.
True story, when you drop your country on a bunch of indigenous people, it's a crime.
No need to relocate. Just make sure they're able to take part in the governing of their current country. Really, we already looked at this problem in the rest of the world when Colonialism ended after World War 2. Yeah that means Israel isn't going to be a Jewish country anymore but fuck around and find out.
Sure because Israel didn't blockade Gaza entirely in an effort to prevent Hamas from taking it's seat as the Palestinian government. And Israel totally didn't embark on a campaign of assassination and destroying civil infrastructure and personnel.
You're beyond gilding the lily at this point. You're straight up ignoring history and flirting with the idea that Palestinians don't deserve a government.
Yeah that's exactly what I'm saying. And come back to me when Austria is preventing Slovakia from actually governing or building any infrastructure.
Security Checks != Blockade.
Uhhh, that's funny because Israel completely controls the Gazan border. Even the Egyptian section is subject to Israeli oversight and the second the Egyptians made rumblings about letting aid in Israel sent troops to physically secure it and prevent that from happening.
Nope, it's a long standing agreement. Trucks crossing the border have to drive down to an Israeli inspection point before entering Gaza. Israel physically controlled the border until 2005. And this agreement is what keeps Israeli troops off the border.
And Egypt has an agreement with them such that any trucks entering have to drive down the border to an Israeli entrance before going to Gaza. Which gives Israel De Facto control. Israel has also announced they intend to take physical control of the border again, in violation of their treaty with Egypt.

I'm just going to tuck this post away for the next time I see some pro genocide poster saying the Palestinians started anything.
I’m not going to educate you through Lemmy, you got to educate yourself. Only then you’ll understand such important things.
I can’t write the entire thing, I’ll be busy my entire life time for your satisfaction.
The way Israel was made is a crime. What they’re doing is a crime, genocide.
EDIT: Checking your comment history, you are a Pro-Genocide & Pro-Israel person. My point, there’s no point arguing or discussing with you. You claimed in one of your other comments that Israel isn’t doing anything wrong and that all wars were started by Arabs. You are delusional and probably a Zionist.
Blocked you are.
I edited my previous comment, read it.
