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's insane how many commies are in here praising a terrorist attack on civilians because Israel bad.
I don't support war or terrorism in any form. But this situation was inevitable. Imagine you and all of your friends and family being treated as second class citizens for decades for no other reason than having the misfortune to be born as a Palestinian in an apartheid state.
Presumably you're expecting the Palestinians to bend over and take it for another fifty years?
The western world is no better than when we propped up the nationalist party in South Africa, we should be ashamed.
The solution requires Palestine to have their own state, until then there will never be true peace in Israel.
Edit: I'm guessing this will be the sort of comment that gets down voted, but no one will be brave enough to debate it. If that's the case, I'll just assume that you know I'm right and you're just pissed off that I'm not blindly following the narrative.
They were offered peace and negotiation many times. Different kinds of solutions and whatnot. Even if it was a bad solution, it's a start and they can keep negotiating from there. But no, it's never the peaceful route and it's always strap an explosive to a kid and send them to fish market.
Yeah that's what happens when your supposed "bad solutions" amount to genocide and Israel stands there and does nothing while settlers steal Palestinian land.
It's like Americans being surprised to find out the world hates them on 9/11. When you fuck people over for long enough, you turn them into extremists.
Israel embargos fucking food imports into Palestine, funny how you all are whining about genocide now when it's been going for decades in Palestine. Israel reaped what it sowed.
Would you agree to a peace deal with a country founded by extremists that's repeatedly made it clear it wants to wipe out you and your family's existence?
They don't embargo food imports but that's besides the point. No matter how bad any proposal is, you can still work with it. Reject it, negotiate, work on it. At no point is kidnapping civilians and killing the rest an answer since violence begets violence and they have significantly smaller stones to throw. Hamas is doing nothing else other than media campaign. Kidnap people, force Israel's hand, when other people get hurt people like you crawl out to call them genocidal and what not. Cycle repeats.
Just look at what Hesbolah has said... this attack is a warning to all those who look to normalize relations with Israel. Meaning if you want peace you will get killed. There's no room for negotiation, they only want death of all Israelis.
Hamas ans Hesbolah are not marked terrorist organization on a whim... you know.
