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.

Serious question, if Netanyahu is a nazi why isn't his government fascist? Literally 10% of the population of Israel was protesting him in 7/2023 demanding his removal and the Israeli state just let the protestors continue living. If Bibi is a nazi why didn't his government pursue that population?
Netanyahu is a corrupt piece of shit. Him taking bribes from Musk is more likely than Netanyahu being a nazi.
His government is fascist.
The definition of 'fascist' is somewhat more complex than 'a person who murders 10% of his county's population due to political differences'.
Do you think there weren't people against the Nazis in 1930s Germany? The bulk of them weren't killed either, so I guess by your logic Hitler also wasn't a fascist or a Nazi?
No, it isn't. You can be a genocidal apartheid nation and not be fascist. The USA was one for decades before fascism was conceived.
Hitler was a fascist because he espoused a fascist ideology. Netanyahu does not do this. Netanyahu is promoting genocide and apartheid but both of those are not at all unique to fascism. France was doing things like this back when they were a monarchal empire.
Please learn what fascism is so you know how to properly identify what it is. The current US administration is giving a clear example of it.
Sounds like you don't know what fascism is.
Alternatively you can all be incorrect which is the truth.
For fuck’s sake fascist states are authoritarian and Israel has free and fair elections. Again being an apartheid state does not make you fascist.
That is a lie, Israel does not have a free and fair elections. It takes two min to find out about this lie, writing it down in a comment wouldn't achieve anything.
Then provide a valid source please
We both know the statement you made is lie, others who see this comment can search in google if they are carious. I dont need to gave you a valid resource.
You donn't have a valid source that proves this which is why you cannot provide one.
Anyone with a shred of common sense should grasp your tactic here. You cannot in any way defend your claim so you're engaging in ad hominem.
I guess we'll see if those elections happen this year.
Fascists have an order of operations, they don't just round up all their enemies at the same time. First they attack their greatest opposition, which in Israel's case is the Palestinian resistance.
If they ever managed to crush the resistance they'd start going after the other enemies of the state.
