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.

according to whom? seems to me they are fighting a terrorist state.
Your personal beliefs can be anything. But according to how these terms are actually used in the real world (and not "kinda similar online pedantry") it is not the same at all.
lol. just because a large number of people believes something doesn't make it true.
that is the beauty of truth, it endures in solitude until the lies have no more souls to eat. in the end it will shine bright and cast the light on fact that israel is a terrorist state. so you are like the slavery supporters.
What lies? That Hamas are terrorists?
israel is a terrorist state.
You did not answer my question.
you mean i successfully outmaneuver your nuclear loaded question. bet you mad usual tricks don't work.
The lie is that Israel is any different or morally superior than the terrorists they decry. It's a genocidal apartheid state and no amount of apologists spreading lies to the contrary will change that.
As has been done for decades, Israeli ~~settlers~~ invaders are using the ongoing fighting to justify forcibly removing Palestinians so they can take their things and live in their homes. They're doing to them many of the same things that were done to the Jewish people by the Nazis and we actually have people trying to claim they're in the right. It's disgusting.
How can people actively defend terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah? Absolutely crazy.
how am i defending them? what money have i send them. how much money have you sent israel?
Their openly, officially stated goal, of the destruction of Israel. It was in their constitution until recently. They specifically launch rockets into civilian area to kill as many civilians as possible.
Saying "who says they are terrorists?" when their own statements say so... Yeah.
cool israel elected official, members of the israeli parliament called for the "glassing of gaza". idf drops bombs everywhere in gaza, something like a glassing of some sort. so they are fighting a terrorist state. this is a fact. are you going to call terrorists those who take arms against a terrorist state? how does that work?
Are you confusing the order in which things happened?
short memory you have
What's crazy is people who think any criticism of Israel is support for Hamas and/or antisemitism. That objection doesn't hold up under even the slightest scrutiny, yet we have people like you repeating it again and again. It's like claiming critics of the death penalty believe murder should be without repercussions. It's nonsensical and l, appropriately enough, I have yet to meet a single supporter of such an opinion who can provide any sort of explanation of how it makes sense.
Do you just repeat what the government tells you without ever questioning it?
