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.

Apparently Hamas transports them via ambulance, so depending on their exact reasons for doing that, the possibilities are all over the damn place
Savvy way to make ambulances in Gaza less of a target for Isreal, which will hopefully keep some injured Palestinians alive as well.
Don’t be fooled, Israel has killed a few of their own hostages, and, as the article stated, the “brig the hostages home” line is more of a cover for the ongoing genocide than an actual worry of Israel. They’ve had multiple chances to save hostages, and have repeatedly bombed places intel told them hostages are being held. Israel does not give a shit about the hostages. It’s emotional leverage to continue eradicating Palestinian people, razing their land, settling there themselves, and punishing everyone in Gaza.
The country that has repeatedly fired upon people receiving aid, shot their own hostages, slaughtered people waving white flags, carpet bombed “safe zones,” told civilians to leave an area only to shoot/bomb them as they ran, deliberately starved the people of Gaza, and shot in the foot multiple chances to get their own hostages back, believe it or not, does not give a shit about saving people. It’s all for corrupt ends.
This channel did a great video on the subject
would probably make them more of a target tbh
Yeah Bibi's basically all but come right out and said that the Israeli military is now killing the hostages themselves to prevent them continuing to be used as negotiation chips.
They're to be executed for the crime of the Israeli public seeing them as a reason to negotiate with Hamas instead of exterminate them without prejudice.
Well that explains why the IDF keeps murdering people in ambulances!
No they are just psychopaths.
