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.

I completely lost touch with what goal both sides have. Could anyone fill me in? What is either sides end game? Does Hamas still have hostages? Why does Israel continue the hard push and where to? Etc.
Israel still wants to exterminate Palestinians so that they can fully expand into the area.
Hamas wants Israel to fuck off out of Palestine. Depending on how extreme the individual person, they may also want Israel gone entirely, or the same to all Jews. But that's not the position of most Palestinians.
(The genocide is not the position of most Israelis, either, but enough are okay with it happening.)
This framing kind of sucks, but it's close.
It's still a land grab, and they're actively grabbing land in the west bank, in Lebanon, and in Syria.
They're fascists that have purposefully fomented this violence as the apartheid state. They want the land and some justification they can wave around. This is why Oct 7th exists.
The irony is, the more successful they are in their depraved violence and theft, the more they will become a pariah globally. I can't see the future, but this feels like a fascist death spiral that will end Israel.
It is not the same human drama. Most of war and expansion focuses on different goals and usually driven by a single leader. This an organization that extend beyond a single entity. They take your tax money and they use it to fund their project.
Palestinians want to be left alone, and Israel wants them all dead because Israel decided the land belongs to them.
If Palestinians wanted to be left alone then why did they do the terriorst attack and why do they still have hostages?
The terrorist attack wasn't perpetrated by the Palestinian state. That's like saying that all Americans agree with the Proud Boys because they happened to be US citizens.
Hamas is the elected ruling party of Palestine.
The terrorist attack was directly perpetrated by the Palestinian state
One side has been marginalised and it's being cleansed as we speak right now by a highly technological nation; and the other side has been marginalised by the whole Europe and the whole Arab world for a millennia. The Palestinian situation is one of the most difficult right now.
(Adwan, S., Bar-On, D., & Naveh, E. "Side by Side: Parallel Histories of Israel-Palestine")
This is a really disingenuous way to sane wash genocide and war crimes, backed by western dollars and politics.
It's not difficult to call a spade a spade, as long as the fact that it's a spade actually matters to you at all.
What the fuck? The Arab world until about a century ago was the best place in the world for a Jew to be by far.
