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.

it sounds like israel built a bunker under a hospital, and is now bombing it because they suspect hamas is using it because they took hostages there?
The proper solution for this is to search the hospital not bomb it.
But then they wouldn't be able to genocide Palestinians. So not really a solution for them is it? /S
Netanyahu and his right wing govt is fucking unhinged and his intentions toward Palestinians seem to have been clear for many years from the sounds of it. Israelis needs a very different set of leaders that aren't genocidal monsters.
Why are people standing in the way of Israel solving the Palestinian problem once and for all with a final solution?! /s
I agree, if the Palestinians weren't so bad, why don't the other nations just take them all in? it was eye-opening to see how much literal Nazi rhetoric the "support Israel, or you're an antisemite" have been getting into.
but searching it might find evidence that its not being used, and thus not give them the excuse to bomb a hospital and kill tons of people.
Well you'll be happy to learn they are, in fact, searching it now. And part of it is the storage basement that they built themselves
Which is why they didn't bomb it directly, but instead searched it. People then shifted the goal posts again and said they shouldn't be there. Also, the part they built was meant to just be a laundry room and some offices. It's not part of the tunnel network Hamas built under that.
The one we haven't seen and Israel refuses to prove in any meaningful way?
Actually they did bomb it directly and caused damage to the building. They then terrorized every patient, kidnapped 200 people to an unknown location, and THEN went in to search but of course they found no tunnel inside the hospital itself (because why on earth would a Hamas fighter put the opening there?).
