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.

🇺🇳 The UN has a right to defend itself.
(The UN does not, in fact, have a 'right to defend itself', nor to slaughter Jews in brutal pogroms, nor to teach generations of children that the greatest thing they can do with their lives is detonate a suicide vest in a crowd of Jewish civilians using the money of the international community)
Yes they do
Have you read the article?
You mean the plan accepted by the Jews and rejected by the Arabs, right before they launched a war which in the words of Haj Amin al-Husseini, Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and close friend of Adolf Hitler, they would "continue fighting until the Zionists were annihilated" and, in the words of one of the most senior leaders of Jerusalem, Jamal al-Husayni, that "the blood will flow like rivers in the Middle East"?
That's the war you're referring to re: "The UN's right to defend itself"?
Because of course, it could have done at the time, and defended itself against the side that rejected the UN plan: the Arabs. And it didn't.
So what's your point here, if not spreading Jew-hatred?
Crikey! A genocide apologist in the wild. Careful, slowly, let’s creep up behind them, down range from ‘der sniffer, and yell out:
**FREE PALESTINE **
Ah, okay. So you made a laughable claim, I corrected you on it, and you've pivoted into personal insults.
Great. That sounds about right for the antisemitic left. Par for the course.
Free Palestine from the Jihadis so that the normal people of Palestine can have a state of their own side-by-side with Israel.
EDIT: I don't know why I bothered. You're just about to call me a 'Zionist' and make some bullshit claims and then run off as if you scored a victory.
You are new here. Do a search 🔍 Read the room. This topic has been discussed ad nauseam for the past 8 months, you’re late to the party.
FreePalestine
I'm not new here, I'm just not a coward who forms their opinions based on groupthink and the hysteria of antisemitism, which does not discriminate on left or right biases.
Glad you proved me right though. Reaffirmed how little I think of the pro-Hamas rabble/tribe.
How do you feel about the rising islamophobia culminating in riots in the UK?
Got it. Sorry to tell you but if this were the 1930s you would be siding with the Germans. That's why no one here engages with bigots like yourself.
Ah. Okay, so you, currently attacking the Jews, are convinced that in 1930s Germany you would have in fact been defending the Jews?
Interesting. Bold. Avant-garde, even.
You do realize there is a difference between Zionism and Judaism? Right?
Worst hasbara ever for a 6 day old account.
