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.

Jean E carrol personally said she was raped and it seems credible from the evidence. why would I not believe her?
Are there any israelis personally saying they were raped?
What evidence is there of Carroll's rape besides an eyewitness account?
There are multiple eyewitness accounts of rape/murder on 10/7. Furthermore, released hostages gave firsthand accounts to the UN of rape while in captivity.
But you only accept eyewitness accounts when they fit your narrative. That's why nobody should believe Hamas' denials.
Carroll herself claims being victim not an eyewitness. Did anyone claim being a victim of Hamas rape?
You clearly have not read the UN report as that is absolutely not what it says. No released hostage has claimed to have witnessed any rape.
UN:
What information can you read it for me?
No need, because the UN summarized it for me. Just as I believe there are 30,000 dead Gazans, even though I don't have a list of names and proof they are dead.
No doubt you too believe there are 30,000 dead Gazans, based on someone else's summary. Which as usual means you only believe facts that fit your narrative.
No you said firsthand witness what you just read wasn't that. It was someone that said they "heard a rumor while in captivity." They never witnessed it.
Reading is truly difficult.
The UN literally said they had firsthand accounts.
Reading truly is difficult.
First hand accounts of rumors they heard. Not of rape which what you claimed.
Which in layman's terms means "we spoke a hostage that said they heard someone say that there was rape but they never saw any rape nor were they sexually violated themselves".
I don't think you understand what "firsthand account" means.
Yes, the UN report says there are multiple eyewitness accounts of rape, on 10/7 as well as from freed captives.
If you didn't know, a "firsthand" account is a synonym for an eyewitness account.
No released hostage has claimed to have witnesss any rape so far. Only heard stories. If I'm wrong you are welcome to link it to me so I can chance my mind
Your cognitive dissonance is so overwhelming that you can't even accept that words have meanings.
You can spin imaginary tales if it helps you sleep. But everyone else who reads the UN report understands what they wrote. Those hostages saw rapes firsthand.
Hahahahaha
No.
Yes
