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.

I know. Hamas is bad at killing Israelis. But they keep trying it.
They're also very good at using human shields.
If there is 6000 people in a square kilometre you can always blame the use of "human shields" to distract from the fact that you are bombing densely populated area and your "surgical strikes" are not that surgical.
Hmmm, there is more documented evidence of Israel using human shields (and having to make it "illegal" to keep using Palestinians as human shields but it still happens and many get away with it).
Hamas propaganda videos don't count as documented evidence.
No, it's not frim Hamas propaganda videos. It's every human rights organization.
Here is a full history of how they had to outlaw it: https://www.btselem.org/human_shields
It was part of Israel law. Totally legal.
Ah, I'm "lawyering around about historical shit" (historical being within a lifetime) but I'm the one with a cold dead soul because hundreds of "the good people" who stole the land died, and you're the one with a heart of gold who thinks it's lol-worthy and likes to make jokes when tens of thousands of "the bad people" die fighting for their stolen land.
Let me know when you want to attempt to argue in good faith, because as I said from the beginning I'm not well educated on the subject, and your tactics are failing.
And there you go, dehumanizing the victims and justifying their murder.
Are you trying to guess what my reply would be? If not, you seriously need to look in the mirror bud.
Hamas is a terrorist organization. They are horrific and should all be taken care of.. take that how you will. Palestinians and Israel is should be able to live in peace. This much is self evident and shouldn't be up for debate like you're trying to do.
But Israel lobbing back over bombs and killing innocent civilians is the Spider-Man pointing at himself meme.
Then the Gazans need to stop sheltering Hamas.
