A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Called it, Gaza/West Bank #1, Lebanon #2, Golan #3. Israel's greatest hits.
But we need you to revert to the original headline, not the editorialized version or we'll have to remove it.
Current headline reads:
"Israel grabs land in Syria’s Golan Heights, warns villagers to stay home"
I've deeditorilized the headline
Thanks!
Oh wow fuck the new headline, they are still trying to do this shit....
Israel literally kept the Golan Heights as a buffer zone inside Syrian territory. It then annexed it and is now occupying new Syrian territory as a buffer zone for Golan Heights. Same in Gaza, same in Lebanon. This is an expansionist power which committs outrages against occupied Palestinians, then when Palestine's allies invoke their right to protect Palestinians, it steals territory.
And only America and Europe can change that by ending their support for its settlements and military. Instead they scheme to undermine all of its neighbors, play on their Sykes-Picot divisions to ensure no progress is made unless it has the Israeli stamp of approval on it.
Israel stealing land as per usual. Trump will "recognise" whatever land they decide to colonise.
How can this timeline be so dark AND so stupid.
Current events are an ouroboros of self-parody at this point. It'd be hilarious if it weren't for the very real consequences.
I can't believe this is actually a thing.
Creating a lebensraum for "chosen race"? Reminds me of something.
Eventually Israel is going to come into contact with Turkey.
Eventually, if Netanyahu has his way, Israel is going to come into contact with Paraguay.
Eventually, Turkey and Syria will be strategic allies and hopefully Turkish industry and political cover can help Syria safeguard itself from Israel's maniacal Lebensraum project.
From one tyrant (Assad) to another tyrant (Netehnya). Feels like their joy has quickly came to an end sadly.
"Yo Dawg, I heard you like buffer zones, so I put a buffer zone in your buffer zone so you can have a buffer zone while you are in buffer zone."
Of course they did. Leave it to Israel to keep shooting itself in the foot and then cry foul when they get hit back.
