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.

600-900 aid trucks are entering Gaza every day and the bombs have stopped falling.
Trump talks shit a lot, but until he actually does something the situation now is far better than it was under Biden.
You’re kidding, right? You think that aid is because of trump, when you’re responding in an article that says his stated motives are the opposite of that?
Much of that aid was already secured before he took office. Shit takes time – especially in a war zone. Wait a month or so and get back to me on whether aid from the US continues. The US has been giving aid to many places that will continue for a short while until the new policies filter through.
Listen to what the new moron-in-chief says, and notice that some policies take a bit of time to take effect. Like the US economy, for instance. Large systems don’t turn on a dime.
Too late.
Palestinians can get aid from elsewhere. They have rich neighbors. We just need the aid trucks to get in and now they are.
I certainly hope so.
They could have gotten that aid in any time they wanted. It doesn't just take time, it takes political will. The trucks were already there and the aid was all ready to go, they just had to be let in the border by the Zionist entity. They needed a ceasefire.
I'll definitely be watching what happens over the next weeks and months, but how about we actually do that instead of catastrophize every time the moron in chief says something stupid that he can't enforce? Forcing Egypt and Jordan to take 1.5-2 million refugees is about as likely as Trump actually annexing Greenland. This shit isn't happening.
The fascists have done an incredible job lulling people into a false sense of security with "Trump just says outrageous things to trigger the libs he'll never actually do anything".
Agreed 100%. If all Democrats do for the next four years is scream the sky is falling then they will lose even more voters in 2028. You don't run a pro-genocide candidate & parade around with the Cheney's if the sky is falling. That is called trying to lose.
They will double down and keep screaming the sky is falling and whoever disagrees with them will be labeled Nazi/Fascist.
Calm down, genocider.
yeah homie this kinda idiotic thinking is why you'll continue to lose elections and the middle for the rest of time.
Bold move to assume there will be an election.
They're already legislating for Trump to get a third term. Do you think that will be a third chance to run, or him just being handed a term?
I wish the Democrats could have thought of that before choosing donors/genocide over winning the last election. There needs to be a new party.
Can you elaborate?
What about Trump's arrival / Biden's departure has enabled 900 aid trucks to start rolling into Gaza every day ?
The ceasefire? Before that, basically no aid was coming in.
You mean the pointless political charade to try and make trump look good as he proceeds to further enable and promote the genocide?
The genocide, at the moment, has entered a new phase without bombs or starvation. Let's be clear: the genocide didn't start on Oct 7th and it didn't end with the ceasefire. Israel has always been a genocidal entity. We are just in a less violent phase.
But even if this ceasefire is political it's hardly a "charade". It's a real ceasefire! It's really saving people's lives! Without it, I don't believe Gaza would have survived the winter - too much sickness and starvation. People are living right now who would otherwise be dead.
Until Trump actually does something the situation is better now than it was under Biden.
It's fascinating how the situation in Gaza is objectively better (for now), and you sound almost disappointed because it wasn't Joe Biden who achieved it. (And in fact, Joe kept the genocide going until the very last day of his presidency.)
The ceasefire was agreed under Biden, before the inauguration... Biden is not good for Palestine, but Trump is not better.
Yeah, but it was pressure from Trump that achieved it, because when Israel told Biden to jump, he did as he was told.
Hence why he earned the moniker: Genocide Joe.
Pressure from Trump?? What reality do you live in lol
When Israel tells Trump to jump he says here are all the weapons I can give you and more. Biden sucks in this situation, Trump actually wants people to suffer so the Christian evangelicals stay happy
I 100% believe there's a side deal here that benefits Trump personally (because every decision he makes as POTUS will be, in part, to monetize it for himself), but grift is 100% preferable to continued genocide. It's not even a contest.
Yes that is true, we can agree on deals that personally benefit trump but like ... The genocide stopped? That news hasn't seemed to hit my news feeds. Seems a lot like Israel is still killing indiscriminately in the West Bank and Gaza. They just took a break from large bombs- but I keep seeing stories about snipers in Gaza killing Palestinians and in the West Bank they're destroying roads and infrastructure with bulldozers, so seems like business as usual from what I'm seeing.. this deal isn't even for a lasting ceasefire, so when the big news corps move to whatever absolutely insane things Trump does next, that deal will end and they'll continue to drop 2000lbs bombs on civilians that the US will provide.
Yes, pressure from Trump. Listen to Democracy Now from the 16th which covers this.
This ceasefire deal was the same one proposed by Biden in May of last year. Hamas agreed to it, but Netanyahu did not.
What changed? Trump put his foot down.
Fascists love to align with fascists. But let's be honest here, Trump has no idea what his feet are doing
That's a weird saying, I don't stand with .ml on a damn thing and those folks LOVE to call me fash for countering their brain dead takes.
Them fascists use too much nitrous for my tastes.
I don't understand what you're on about tbh, you don't make sense
How is it possible that you believe trump (who wasn't in office and had no diplomatic team) achieved the ceasefire, when it was the Biden admin that had been negotiating it for months? The guy who just outright called for ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza, you think he's the reason they have a ceasefire? Please revisit your propaganda sources and find something more aligned with reality.
It's literally on CNN & the Biden administration admitted Trump's convoy sealed the deal.
The Biden admin hasn't done anything except send WMD's when told.
That's it.
Yea sure, in 7 days Trump took a break from signing a shitload of exec. Orders on stage and threatening Greenland and Canada to pressure israel to do anything other than "clean out gaza".
You're disgusting. You're a genocide enabler and supporter.
Trump's Mideast Envoy Forced Netanyahu to Accept a Gaza Plan He Repeatedly Rejected
Obvious propaganda is obvious. Maybe not to you I guess.
Why would a leftist Israeli newspaper promote Trumpian propaganda?
Doubt it.
