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.

Every second we spent talking about Palestine is time we aren't talking about Russia. Do the maths and u try pretebd u care about saving the maximum number of human lives possible and u will find that Palestine means nothing compared to the Russian threat.
Agree. That's why Israelis should cease fire immediately, dismantle the occupation and apartheid, recognize Palestine and pay reparations. So we can focus on what's actually dangerous to world peace.
Occupation requires an opposing military force.
Apartheid requires minority rule over the majority.
Consider this post the dismantling you're waiting for.
Occupation is what every country in the world calls the situation.
Apartheid is what apartheid scholars, human rights groups, South Africans who went through apartheid, Israeli peace organizations and Palestinians (you know, the people directly affected) are calling the situation.
Your little attempt at dictionary lawyering is no argument.
I went to school with some of these apartheid scholars and don't value their opinions.
Wow, for someone who went to school in 1940s Butterworth, South Africa, with Desmond Tutu, you must be extremely tech savvy to be writing on Lemmy. What an awesome old person you must be.
Keep up the denial
Amnesty International Report
Human Rights Watch Report
B'TSelem Report, Explainer
Gaza Blockade is still Occupation
Keep up the irrelevant link spam.
Let's focus on the small little distraction fish while the big fish is getting away Scott free.
genocide: small little distraction fish
War crimes maybe genocide nope. Genocide requires intention the soldier civilian ratio is almost identical to that of comparable heigh density warfare.
No, we can talk about both and palestine situation is a lot worse.
Rediculous, shallow take.
We don't set global policy based on how sad the news makes small44.
I can give u 37504418 reasons why the Ukrainian situation is more important.
And compared to the Iranian threat.
Purely cos of population they aren't too much of a problem. Aren't they funding Hama's as well or something?
100,000,000 people live in Iran.
Yes. They fund Hamas. They are religiously chosen to lead a new Islamic Caliphate headquartered in Jerusalem, they think.
The 100,000,000 peole in Iran all fund genocide?
I guess if you are an American, then you are also funding genocide by this logic. You and every single American in existence.
I think you don't view Middle Easterners as humans.
Well for now they are behaving themselves and they have openly said they will not move against Israel due to how Hammad was treated when they moved against Israel. Standard fight to end all fights overreaction type thing.
