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.
-
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.

I think, you need to read a lot of history as to why Hamas exists and why they attacked Israel.
Your comment is full of ignorance or perhaps you are just an Israel-supporter that leaves out the entire history.
Does your history go back to PLO days? Intifada I & 2. You know, from your history that this has been going on for 40-50 years, right? This is just the current iteration. I think the OP was referring to that.
You need history to understand what is happening right now. Doesn’t matter how long ago it was, history will always be relevant.
Yeah? But, you need all the history, all the news, etc. Not just1 that which agrees with you. Otherwise you can't hope to be pragmatic
That’s true but where did I say that? I would like you to point the sentence.
The fact is, the first comment blames Hamas for the October attack. But they left out that:
Hamas was only made in 1987 because Israel has been doing horrifying things to the Palestinian people from 1948-1987 (still ongoing).
Hamas would have never existed if Israel didn’t stole the land, murdered many Palestinians and made an Apartheid regime.
The first comment and my own comment was about that.
Now I’m not going to have a full discussion with you. Not worth it. Want to genuinely have much more knowledge? Read the history - Books and articles.
The PLO preceeded Hamas, it's all the same thing. Life in Gaza is nothing new. Actually, oit wasn't too bad until lately. They have no industry, so not really viable. That's not really a Isreal's doing. Yes, Isreal takes ground which is not good. But, every time they attacked they feel the need for buffer zones. That's happened since the 1948 war.
