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.

Oh there'll be a much larger number of terrorists after this.
What would you do if your family was killed by a government claiming you're inhuman just for existing and your neighbour deciding to launch a rocket at that government out of sheer frustration for their living conditions.
Honestly can't blame them if they did. Obviously killing Israeli civilians is indefensible but they are ensuring that thousands more will grow up hating all Israelis. The same logic Israelis and Israel supporters are using to kill innocent Palestinians is what Hamas runs off of. Each group blaming the entire "other" group for everything. Exactly like netanyahu wanted all along I imagine.
I wouldn't doubt that there's also a fear that Israel will just annex the evacuated territory after this, to compound matters.
There's no way they're not gonna do that, they're already annexing territories where people reside. People will move to the side that's not getting bombed and when it's all done, 2 million people will be living in half the small area they had at best.
Just in time for flu season.
I'd genuinely be shocked if they didn't try to annex the majority of the land if not all of it. Cornering a mass of people isn't a wise decision but they will use the inevitable violence as an excuse for all out ethnic cleansing
And if they don't, its very likely they'll just make it unlivable so the people can't feasibly return The current Israeli government would be quite happy with Gaza City just being empty. That would solve a lot of long term problems with only short term consequences. A final solution to the Palestinian problem, if you would.
Turns out the Israelíes liked 1930s German policy, just not who it was directed against. They're using the same playbook as the former oppressors of their people to inflict the generational pain onto others.
Interesting to see them justify how much God supports their hatred.
Actually, after Saturday, all Israelis will grow up with more confidence that Hamas’ military base (Palestine) is there to plan the murder of Israel. So no, you are wrong because you forgot that fact
That's the message Israelíes are sold just like the Palestinians are told the israelians are out to kill them all.
They're all being fooled by a very small number of people holding all the control on either side.
A much higher number of justifications for that government to crack down even further. First you demonize the enemy, then you strike against them, and when they inevitably defend themselves, you have a justification to kill the people trying to kill yours. That playbook is millenia old and still works.
We call it fascism now.
Palestine is not a regular place. It is a military base for terrorists. Downvote all you want, this is a fact you will need to understand.
The Gaza strip has over 2 million people, half of which are under 18. That is a "fact you will need to understand" before you go around defending the atrocities Israel is and will commit.
Israel is defending itself from future attacks like Saturday. It doesn’t matter what your feelings are about this the fact is Palestine is a terrorist military base, and Israel is about to liberate it.
Let me try to put this in a different perspective. First: Gaza has an average age of about 19 years old, and a bit more than half of the population is under 18. Second: there was a Reuters report and video yesterday about how the cemeteries are full so people are burying their loved ones in donated vacant lots with cinder blocks and bits of rubble as gravestones.
To emphasize and clarify the point: half the population is children and they've run out of space for more graves.
Hundreds of terrorists attacked innocent people, including babies on Saturday. You’re a coward for defending terrorists.
So what? Turn the other cheek and love your neighbor, coward.
I never said anything about defending Hamas. If there was a way to extract them and offer them up to the Hague without endangering innocent civilians, I'd be all for it. But we should put Netanyahu and his cabinet on trial as well. There can be more than one monster at a time
Palestine is defending itself from future attacks like the last several decades. It doesn't matter what your feelings are about this the fact is Israel is a terrorist military base, and Palestine is about to liberate it.
You are wrong and you are just proving my point
You offer no truths except hollow words that echoed around your empty brain.
You know nothing about the truth of the situation, only what your propaganda has lied to you about, and you're top stupid, ignorant, or paid to spread disinformation to consider another point of view.
You’re projecting.
Any other stupidities that don't make any sense in context? Do you only know buzz words spouted at you through propaganda instead of actually understanding reasons for things and being willing to be wrong to learn new things? I don't care about you, but I care about the hateful message you spread landing on ears that don't know any better.
The Jewish people are a wonderful people with a rich and valued culture and history. This does not apply to the leadership of Israel or their treatment of their neighbours, regardless of whatever "whataboutisms" you want to preach.
God will not look kindly upon those that support this from either side. He is weeping because his children want each other to die.
You are hopeless. God is fake. Deal with it.
Lol.. man you folks are hopeless
It's like talking to a twelve year old that simply repeats the things that shut them down and hurt their feelings before. No depth, no context, no intelligence, just an empty sad parrot destined to a hopeless future of hate in their life. Hopefully they can start to think for themselves at some point.
Exactly, that is exactly what you sound like. Thank you for realizing it.
It's quite comical if you don't consider the harm the idiocy brings to their own people.
Damn it has only been 6 days and idiots are already forgetting reality. Sad!
Whatever it takes to liberate Gaza, including the death of 614 children?

I'm not saying Israel is wrong to retaliate against Hamas, but there are innocent people caught in the middle of that war, it's a god damn tragedy..
"We need to reduce the number of Slavs in Eastern Europe to defend ourselves from future attacks from the barbaric hoards."
That’s exactly the rhetoric Hitler used.
Honestly just so happy my federal government agrees with me.
If you believe that, then you have no concept of reality and just accept whatever fantasy is told to you to make you angry.
I pity you.
It is a military base for terrorists whether you will admit that or not is up to you.
I agree that Israel is a military base for terrorists just as much as Palestine is
That is your problem right there. Focus on your problem please.
Then shut the fuck up, get off the Internet, and keep this problem in your own fucking backyard instead of spreading your victim complex and hatred across the globe.
Get fucked
Wow, you’re quite a terrible person aren’t you? Not surprising I guess since you support terrorists.
The words of an idiot ring hollow. Go spread your racism and Nazi policies elsewhere
Only Nazis here are Hamas coward.
Unrelated, but I love these posts. They help me block users I really don't want to interact with, not now or in the future.
Guys, just block an move one, it's better for your mental health. Let them speak to dead air, you can't argue with these people.
People I'm blocking: racists, mysogynists, transphobes, homophobes, any kind of 'phobe' actually that has to do with people's own body or sex, 'grab them by the pussy' guys, ....
Dude. We’re watching genocide on the television. Give up.
You’re beyond my proclivities. Hope you find peace.
I hope you do too friend. Your soul left you a long time ago and you’re truly hopeless now.
Nice projection. Wish I could help you. But I’m not trained for trauma. Whatever it was, it’s not your fault.
Thank god our government isn’t as stupid as some of the people in this thread. Too much propaganda out there for folks to consume and become brain washed. Thank fucking god the US military is supporting the innocents.
