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.

Do the commenters here really believe the outcome would have been different for the Palestinians if Donald didn't win? Why?
I really believe the outcome for the millions of brown and queer people in America would have been different if Trump didn't win.
And my 'why' here has been the same why for months- why did that not matter?
So, your desired outcome was to keep the genocides in foreign lands going, to maybe slow it down in the US?
You seem to think "desired outcome" is the same as "outcome I thought was achievable." They are completely different.
So, what change un outcome did you expect? Because I didn't expect either candidate to care about dead Palestinians, or exploited workers at home...
I expected people to give a shit about brown and queer people in the U.S.
But they didn't.
Including you, apparently.
When did voters, or the Dems, actually do anything for brown and Black people in the US?
More cops doesn't count...
"Other people didn't care, so I didn't either" is not the robust self-defense you think it is.
Worse than "didn't care"... it's more like "caring about how to make their lives worse"...
I still don't know why you think this is any sort of self-defense, but okay. Fine. You didn't want to make their lives worse, you just didn't give a fuck about them at all. You hero.
Im actively involved in indigenous projects for the indigenous people.
I helped a Black woman win a Dem primary, only to have the Local Dems back a Reich Winger in a write in ballot.
But, yeah, I don't care about them. K.
I'm not the one sending jackboot thugs into their community... that's the local dems.
I see no reason to believe any of that when you have told two very obvious lies about me.
Okey doke. In reality, your only solution to any problem is "Vote.blue no matter who".
You keep telling lies about me and I have no idea why. What do you hope to accomplish?
Yes. For one, Israel had already started on their zone idea. For two, Blinken was advocating for a two state solution because that was one of the requirements for Saudi Arabia to establish ties with Israel.
I can’t imagine the Middle East is going to be content with this occupation, especially if it leads to a new trail of tears.
Cope
Exactly. Kamala isn't facing AIPAC anymore. She's not running for office. She faces literally zero downside in publicly condemning the idea. Since she isn't condemning it now, why would anyone assume she would do it if she were currently president, when the pressures against her would be much higher?
"She's not a public figure anymore, she's a private citizen, why isn't she condemning this?" Where? In congress? In the white house? How do you know she's not being vocal about this?
Because the internet exists and you'd be blasting it right now if you could.
Yes the internet exists, but if she hasn't been able to make a public statement about every bat shit idea, or if there is no recording of her saying anything of it, it couldn't be shared.
