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.

A tiny group within a population of over 2 million.
Honestly what the fuck are comments like this supposed to mean? You think they deserve to be slaughtered, down to the last child, because of what a small extremist group form the same region did? You know half the people in Gaza are under 18?
Do you think they all voted for this? Hamas took control after netanyahu created and funded them to destabilize the Gaza strip, this is a known fact that they've basically admitted. He made sure they were the only governing body that could e, ist so they could excuse anything they wanted to do to the gazans they keep in an open-air prison.
I hope the FBI or whatever the equivalent in your country is keeps pro-genocide people like you on a watch list.
Afghanistan: glares pointedly
To be clear: It is not my intent to be an Al Qaeda or Hamas apologist in any way, shape, or form with that comment. I am simply pointing out the parallels to a situation that had my government chasing some sort of dragon for over twenty fucking years and burned an absurd quantity of resources and blood for pretty much fucking zero long term gain. Like, there wasn’t even any oil. It was all just fury, spite, and nebulous sentiments of revenge and “justice”. I grew up with that. That was a large part of the background of my adolescence. That’s a weird thing. We should acknowledge it as a weird thing. Don’t do that to a generation of your kids, Israel. It’s bad for them.
then you should.know better and warn your allies against such action.
I just want to add that the last time they were even able to hold an election was 17 years ago, so the majority of people there now obviously were not old enough to vote back then.
59% of the "innocent" civilians supports Hamas.
And who's fault is that?
Hamas brain washing, just look at their propaganda.
Israel is responsible for the rise of Hamas. They destroyed secular movements and funded Hamas in the early days.
If you were in a concentration camp with no hope of a life worth living, would you not support the only people fighting back?
Its like constantly tripping someone trying to stand up and then when they get angry you use it as an excuse to beat them.
You're in favor of genocide for people supporting Hamas? Give your head a fucking shake.
No, I'm just saying a two state solution is clearly no longer posible and Israel warned them to leave.
No, you said, "59% of the “innocent” civilians supports Hamas."
The scare quotes around the word innocent imply you think they're not innocent.
Why can't Israel leave?
Because they won?
