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.

Where are the ML to call it genocide? Eastern genocide is totally fine.
This is a war crime, not genocide. If this is your standard for genocide then you should also be saying Ukraine is committing genocide.
Russia is committing many war crimes but their goal is clearly to annex Ukrainian territory and absorb the Ukrainians into Russa. Not the eradication of Ukrainians.
As Zionists loved to point out, before Israel openly started proclaiming their goal is to kill all Palestinians and replace them; genocide requires explicit intent to destroy a population. Not only annex territory.
You cannot call every war crime 'genocide'. It is not a word you can throw around lightly. The difference in Ukraine is that Russia is still primarily killing combatants whereas Israel is killing mostly women and children.
Hello mr strawman how are you
Consider reading my top comment again and do it slowly. Then feel very ashamed of yourself for being illiterate.
Wow so you deny the genocide in Gaza.
Wow straight up genocide denial. And you support Russia as well?
Look I can do it too.
Huh? Did you really not read what I said? Are you just trolling now because you have nothing left? This is sad. Have the day you deserve. Bye.
Tankies be all for the working man, but the working man doesn't want you 🫣
It appears the other poster is not the illiterate one.
Nowhere did they say Ukraine is committing genocide. They said Ukraine also executed POW's which is backed up by video evidence.
They did not imply it. They said that executing POW's is not genocide but a war crime. Then they provided a good example showing why it is a war crime and not genocide.
You are imagining them saying something they did not say.
They linked an article about Ukrainians executing POW's. That is a directly applicable comparison to this post.
They mocked you because you are making up things they did not say.
None of the articles you linked imply Russia is currently committing genocide in Ukraine. A list of past genocides including the Nazis has little relevance on the present. Except that you are admitting the current invasion is not a genocide... because it is not on the list you linked.
Calling everything tankie is not an argument and you should stop doing it.
You are in for a massive self-own by using Wikipedia.
Your page says "allegations by organisations". This means there is no consensus of a genocide taking place.
This js what an actual Wikipedia article of a genocide looks like:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide
Notice the difference between my sources: independent international bodies and your sources: pro-Ukraine organisations.
Ukraine can ask the UN for an investigation if they believe they have case. But they will not do that and we both know why.
Here is another source proving me right: literally Wikipedia
Arrests for war crimes not genocide.
What do you think is taking Wikipedia so long? Ukraine was invaded two years before the genocide in Gaza.
Are Wikipedia editors, the UN, and Amnesty International Tankies?
It appears no matter how many facts you are presented with you are unable to face reality and admit you are wrong.
Wikipedia and the UN and Amnesty International are all tankies. Everyone who disagrees with you is a tankie. Have a very tankie day.
Please ignore the forced disappearance of Ukrainian children, residents of Mariupol discovering that their bombed out homes were being rebuilt for Russian immigrants with no space left for them, the uninvestigated murders of Crimean Tartars, dropping cluster munitions on civilian evacuations, bombing of civilian shelters, bombing of hospitals, and the large scale rape and murder in Bucha
Once again: many war crimes. Undeniable. Genocide? Likely not.
Israel is primarily slaughtering civilians. Women and children make up most of their casualties. All hospitals and infrastructure is destroyed
Russia is committing many war crimes but they are nowhere near the level of Israel; trying to wipe out the population.
Just video footage. No Ukrainian government to say it so it didn't happen! As pathetic as questioning whether Russians executed the Ukrainian POW's. When there is a video of it happening there's no point in screaming source source.
Person who loves tanks.
Nobody wants your tankie bullshit. Stop saying Israel is not committing genocide and Russia has the right to annex Ukraine
See what I did there?
I see you made up a bunch of shit I never said. I know how ML works.
Yeah they suck
I mean, you're TECHNICALLY correct, but the Russians are on record saying Ukraine and Ukrainians do not exist as a separate people. So it's slightly more genocidy than you make out.
A state or group and its inhabitants are not the same.
If someone says "Death to Russia", "death to Israel" or "death to ISIS" this does not mean wishing death upon everyone who lives under their rule. It means trying to get rid of the group ruling them.
Russia says Ukrainians do not exist as a separate people and tries to annex their land: war crime.
Israel says Palestinians do not exist (not the state, the people) and that they want kill them all, expell them from their land and put them in a concentration camp: genocide.
This is not a "technicality". This is the crux of what genocide means. It is not a word to be thrown around lightly.
