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.

In "a few minutes of googling" I could find anything, that really doesn't mean anything. Needless to say reputable information does exist, and you are currently not posting it.
Again, since the 80s. Trying to claim Hezbollah are anything but violent jihadists is friggin laughable.
Like I said before, I've given you my reasons on why I think the way I do. You have not returned the same courtesy to me. All you've done is make baseless claims and allegations without actually telling me where they come from. And when I say "Hey, I think you're wrong and here's why" you don't even bother with looking at it. I don't expect you to go over it all, but at least take a look. You just dismiss it as propaganda with little to no actual effort to understand what I'm trying to say. I've literally given you documented actions and events to support what I'm saying and disprove what you say. That is not an opinion. That is a fact. Your entire argument is simply you saying "They're evil, trust me bro". I think I'll trust what I see and read over what you say, thank you very much.
Edit: I also want to point out that at no point did you seem interested in even acknowledging the evil that Israel has been doing in both Gaza and Lebanon. You just seem all too eager to justify their atrocious actions by saying "Yeah, but Hezbollah bad". If I had to label one group as bad in this conflict, it would be Israel.
That's nice. You posted bullshit, I called it bullshit. I'm sure on your super deep and intricate google search you encountered proof of everything I said. Go look again.
Your opinions on Israel don't matter. Hezbollah are, again, violent jihadists. Fuck them. They want to kill me. Why would I kiss their ass like you do?
Calling it bullshit without explaining why it's bullshit doesn't automatically make it bullshit. This shouldn't be a difficult thing for you to understand or wrap your head around.
Why would Hezbollah want to kill you?
But I thought you had google, the fountain of truth?
Hezbollah are violent jihadists. They want to kill most people. Again, not a matter of debate. Get over it.
And looking over the internet led me to the conclusions I showed you. Once again, if you think I'm wrong, then feel free to tell me why you think that way. But you repeatedly saying I'm wrong doesn't just magically make it so.
You didn't look very hard then
Where should I have looked?
