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.

400+ Palestinians killed already. Many dead babies on my timeline.
Israel also took advantage of the ceasefire to kill top Hamas officials who are protected under the ceasefire. Zionist pigs are the scum of the earth.
Why wouldn’t Israel restart the killings of top Hamas officials? Hamas declared war on them, the ceasefire ended without being extended, Hamas is still holding Israelis hostage and captive, and Hamas has not yet surrendered. Seems pretty expected tbh
The ceasefire was still in effect. As long as talks were ongoing. And Israel sent a delegation last weekend for talks so they are ongoing.
Israel did not end the ceasefire it violated the ceasefire. Massively.
Simply not true, the first phase of the ceasefire explicitly lasted 42 days and came to an end on Feb 26.
Israel and mediators continued to attempt to negotiate after that date but the ceasefire itself and its agreed upon terms came to an end Feb 26, 42 days after the start of Phase 1 on Jan 15
The second phase went in which Israel instantly violated. But the negotiations were still ongoing. Meaning it was in effect.
While israel did violate the ceasefire more than 900 times with no real violations from Hamas, the ceasefire was officially still in effect. Israel also violated the ceasefire many times during the first 42 days and did not allow the promised aid in.
More than 900 times. "Pro Hamas" lol.

I'm even more confused now. How do you violate ceasefire so many times with so few bodies in such densely populated area? Does Israel have the absolute worst army in the world? Why am I reading that the ceasefire ended yesterday, but somehow they broke ceasefire today? See how nothing makes sense to me from far-away as a spectator?
Maybe your eyes are not working. Israel killed more than 150 Palestinians during the "ceasefire".
That was my point. I don't want to come off as insensitive, but normally if a country violates a ceasefire during a war, you see something like 10-100 deaths per ceasefire violation, not 0.2. Does not sound like Palestinians were their target.
Don't forget to downvote this comment too since that's apparently what we do on lemmy during discussions
Yeah that is a report for trolling. Hope you get banned genocide apologist.
...?
And once again, I give up trying to understand this conflict because rarely anyone makes any sense, and when you do try asking questions, instead of answers, you get insults and threats.. suddenly I'm somehow supporting a genocide (not sure on which side tho) because I, once again, asked a question.
Screw this lmao, definitely the most toxic conflict of recent history, from both sides.
EDIT: Seeing as this is getting downvoted, I feel like elaborating on how ridiculous this is.
Try to imagine my perspective: I know little about this conflict. I asked how is it a ceasefire violation if ceasefire is not in effect or wtf is Israel doing since math doesn't seem to be checking out. In return, instead of getting a calm explanation, I got threats, comment removals and all my comments got downvoted. Does that sound like a completely sane reaction to a simple question? I'm even a troll now
