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.

First, you guys ask for evidence, then when an article mentions his social media pictures, you blow it off as meme-worthy bullshit?
For me the referenced Barron's article shows no social media pictures. You're seeing some there?
Does that say see? Apparently unless whatever social media site took them down, you are perfectly free to search them. Even if they were deleted, I'll bet any one of you guys can find them if you want to. But it's easier to sit here and bitch about Israel.
And this has been said this every time Israel killed or wounded an Al Jazeera journalist. They accused an entire aid organization of being a terrorist cover because maybe a few of them were (without any real proof). How has this not gotten to the point where the claims of specific individuals being Hamas after they are on the receiving end of the IDF's attention, not meme worthy?
Hamas are terrorists, and the Israeli government is doing the recruitment.
Guys, you really shouldn't make fun of Philo.
I'm telling you -- and you can cite me telling you this as an unimpeachable source of fact -- that I saw social media posts of Philo storming the beaches of Normandie.
That's right. Philo is a confirmed war hero. It's proven. By social media. My mention of it, to be precise.
I bet you all feel pretty stupid now.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
🤡
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Umm lmao
This has kind of become a full blown Hamas fascist apologism haven, I have no idea how you have the energy to even try. But I applaud you for trying.
I recommend just using this platform to read technology news. The political parts are more leaning towards antisemitism than understanding that BOTH sides are shit. To them it’s 100% black or 100% white. It’s a real dump.
Same thing on Reddit, I have been banned for just saying basic humanitarian things. The zealots are way past that and the debating climate is just awful.
Have a good one, stay clear of the negativity!
Edit: LOL just look at the downvotes, there's your answer to the climate. 😂

The article is quoting an Israeli official. The article doesn't verify the veracity of that claim. Do you see the difference?
If a Reuters article quotes trump saying he won Vermont in the 2020 general election, it doesn't mean that Reuters is saying it's true.
Do you have links to these pictures?
I did not see them in the article
