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.

They’re not wrong.
A ghetto with a border with Egypt, dozens of kilometers of beach and millions of dollars in aid huh.
I could say I'm more pro-Israel, as the fight is with Hamas, not the people of Palestine (Israeli army are really trigger-happy, and they kill civilians without a reason though). But you're painting Gaza sector as Costa del Sol: beaches, dollars, cocktails. Are you alright?
I mean they had everything to turn it into that, including money and construction material provided by Israel so what stopped them? Ah silly me, Israel of course.
Ah yes, the paradise on earth that you cannot escape: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip to refresh your memory. The paradise on earth that is enclosed with walls, which is impossible to escape. I wonder how you would feel in this paradise yourself. But silly me, why asking you uncomfortable questions.
But why do you blame Israel for this shit hole? Do you understand HAMAS manages the money there and that its leaders live in wealth in Qatar? None of those stupid comments make me uncomfortable and I keep debunking them, and you keep denying them and downvoting me because what you want is not a debate but an echo chamber. So just say that and say you just want to blame Israel for everything Gazans go through, without checking how any of it really works on the field.
Your point of view is completely biased in this case, I don't think you are objective.
He's also gaslighting us. Israel has had Gaza under an insanely repressive economic blockade since 2006. There was 50% unemployment even before the lastest attacks. Israeli politicians even bragged about their power to put "Palestinians on a diet" by restrictions on food imports.
You're not objecting to anything I've written, which is fine but don't tell me I'm not being objective if you can't prove me wrong.
I tried, but you are so biased on this topic that I will just waste my time. no matter what I say or how many articles I link here it won't change your opinion one iota.
How am I more biased than you?
Judging by the content of your replies, it's probably because you're stupider.
Got me real good there!
I definitely see your point and think the nuance of the situation is worth mentioning.
Essentially, you think Gazans should accept their annexation because they were not obliterated and given concessions for losing. Just like Native Americans.
The problem is, some cultures don't want to be relegated to the 'loser' slot that natives tend to occupy.
They want to remain the "poor" and good guy, while perpetrating massacres. And I have to give it to them, their propaganda is much stronger since most of the world stands behind them and either supports terrorism or says it didn't happen.
See what happens when I provide proof here.
Also not sure what you mean by annexation since Israel got the fuck out of there entirely in 2005
No they didn't stop lying. Israel has had Gaza under an economic embargo since 2006. Gazans can't even dig water wells without the permission of the IDF.
Would you please share with us where is Israel providing building materials and money to Gaza?
If you're not free even the nicest place in earth is a hellhole
