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.

He was the lead negotiator working towards a ceasefire. Netanyahu killed him to scuttle further talks.
The dude built tunnels under schools and hospitals. He didn't give one fuck about the people of Gaza.
The IDF puts hospitals next to military installations and forces everyone aged 18 to do military service where they end up abusing and killing Palestinians.
Guess that makes it okay to kill anyone in Israel, and you for supporting it, because ~~tunnels~~ military installations near civilian areas.
Fuck Hanieh. But also fuck you. It's not like you view Palestinians as human beings to start with.
With a shovel he stretched all the way from Iran?
C'mon that's you're argument? Ridiculous and uninformed take.
Right back at you.
This is Zionist fear mongering used to justify the assassination of a diplomat in pursuit of genocide.
And you're arguing he deserved to die because "tunnels".
"Diplomat." You have to be from a country to have diplomacs. Terrorists do not get to have countries because if they do, they tend to convert all of its resources and domestic capabilities into instrumentalities and fronts for illegal political violence.
Because "tunnels?"
No that's a simple-minded and reductive take that you're obviously not making any good faith.
Those tunnels represent a group of criminals who have plundered the wealth in future of what could be a beautiful country and instead converted it for their own personal gain, which happens to be killing Jews.
Every good thing Gaza has ever had has been corrupted by terrorists and repurposed to kill Jews. That's it. Simple as that.
Did have all the food and water they wanted right now if they didn't fuck up their airports and waterports by the ing them over to international terrorists with a singular purpose.
Well, I guess you could say it's two purposes, if exterminating the Jews is thought of as one purpose and installing a new Islamic caliphate seated in Ramallah to rule the world as a secondary one.
That's what you're defending, a dude who literally is responsible for making sure millions of Palestinians live and die without ever knowing hope or prosperity. For every boogeyman that you imagine is out here being happy that Palestinian kids are getting killed, nobody was happier to see kids die to Israeli bombs than this dude.
"Terrorists do not get to have countries because if they do, they tend to convert all of its resources and domestic capabilities into instrumentalities and fronts for illegal political violence."
Bro that is literally the definition of Israel. Human rights violations since its founding and until today.
I guess that means Hamas has every right to retaliate (according to your OWN definition and logic).
And of all the places where a caliphate could spring into life, the very fact that you chose to say "Ramallah" is a stark reminder that you know so little about Palestine or its demographic.
After all, we are not people to you 😊
