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.

Here's hoping these protests become a daily occurrence and they're finally able to give Hamas the boot.
Hopefully they’re able to give Israel the boot.
Hammas and Netanyahu need each other to survive. Give them both the boot.
There is no Hamas without Israel.
Sadly there is an Israel without Hamas.
Get rid of Israel and both go away.
Netanyahu will just go to war with the next countries. See the Israeli invasion of Syria, see their invasion of Lebanon, see their plans to create a greater Israel requiring to go to war and annihilate all surrounding countries and hundreds of millions of people.
Hitler didn't stop when Austria and Czechoslovakia where handed to him on a silver plate. Neither will Netanyahu or the other Fascists stop.
This is like saying cancer and the chemo therapy need each other.
Just a reminder that Israel already left willingly in the past.
That's a long debunked Hasbara talking point.
They blockaded all of Gaza and destroyed the only airport in Gaza with bombs.
They wouldn't allow construction materials in. Limited lumber, steel, concrete, glass.
In order to leave Gaza, Palestinians needed to apply for a special ID with the Israeli government and needed a "valid reason" which essentially only meant leaving for business.
Israeli supreme court ruled in early 2000s that Gazans did not have the right to visit West Bank.
Not even if they left through Egypt, flew to Jordan, and tried to enter from Jordan. They would be denied entry.
Gaza and West Bank are part of the same country. Yet they did not have the right to visit family in their country.
Virtually all legitimate organizations, including the EU and the UN considered Gaza to be occupied during the blockade.
Israel never left. Stop spreading propaganda online. Israel never gave up control of Gaza. They controlled what went in, they controlled what came out. They controlled what buildings can be built and which buildings would be destroyed by bombs. They controlled where Gazans could fish and they controlled what items were considered "legitimate"
Zios are still very much in Palestine. Never left.
Uh what... Why do you think Israel is able to block aid to Gaza, and stop their power, trash, food, water intake, and ability to travel?
It's because they never left. They've always been occupiers who have controlled their territory.
Is this what Israel leaving looks like? wow...
Hub, I wonder what happened that made them come back?
Try 'murdering and kidnapping hundreds of Israeli citizens' for a start.
Nothing feeds extreme islam like blowing people's loved ones into pieces in front of their eyes and destroying their livelihoods. So they sure know how to make this perpetuate.
And control gazans water, literally claim any water even rain water, and their ability to build anything.
That was before Netanyahu brought the far right into power, and before the US gave said far right a blank cheque for ethnic cleansing (and that's the charitable way of phrasing that).
Sadly the current Israeli government isn't likely to leave willingly. Certainly not while they have the full backing of the US.
Every Israeli government since its inception has been in favor of ethnic cleansing.
They only saw what Netanyahu is doing as an inconvenient way because it would wake up the world and see the monster that is Israel for what it really is.
This is a very small minority of Gazans. Most Gazans know that Hamas is the only party standing in the way of a full ground operation of the genocidal forces into Gaza. When Palestinians are no longer facing genocide they can start demanding a government that represents every Palestinian, until then they don’t have that luxury.
It seems the majority of people here actually believe that without Hamas Israel would just stop invading and pull out. This might have been wishful thinking a while ago, but right now this is called delusion, as we've seen what happens when you tell Israel you won't attack and are willing to cooperate for the benefit of both sides (Syria and Lebanon).
Without military resistance Palestine would not exist. Israel has always been clear about their intention to wipe out all of Palestine. There was never a moment where Palestinians could stop Israel from invading in any other way than fighting back.

I completely agree. What I meant was: Anyone who wasn't too interested in the Palestinian cause might have thought it was possible, but now it's clear to everyone.
While I hope Hamas doesn't get to keep ruling Gaza, Uprooting the only government that has some weapons and is willing to point them towards the invading army instead of its people doesn't seem like an effective way to make life in Gaza better or safer. Just ask the West bank.
So that Israel can fullfill their genocidal dreams uncontested? Just look at the Westbank to see how a complicit government sucking up to Israel is just helping in slaughtering and ethnically cleansing its own population.
Also it is worrying how the problem is shifted from the genocider to the the people who resisted the genocide. "Stop punching yourself"
Hamas has done a great job protecting Gazans so far.
Israel has made it abundantly clear, that they would like to murder every Palestinian in Gaza. The fact that only about 10% have been murdered by Israel so far is a great success in these circumstances.
By your logic you would have demanded Churchill, Stalin and Roosevelt to be kicked out of power because they didn't manage to stop the Nazis earlier. The only ones who would have benefited from this would have been the Nazis.
Same goes for Israel and Hamas now. Why do you think JPost, a deeply convinced Zionist Imperialist rag is celebrating these demonstrations and blowing them out of proportion? Because they want Hamas to be out of the way so Israel can conclude the genocide uncontested.
I seriously can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not.
The destruction of Gaza would have resulted in new Hamas recruits several times the number of this little protest.
