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.

how is killing hamas terrorists and their supporters murder??
if anything,ending hamas would be a good thing for everyone,even the arabs.
Quick question. Are the 4 and 5 year Olds members of hamas? Even if you believe the adults should be wiped off the face of the earth do you believe the small children should be massacred by the tens of thousands like they are now. How about the unarmed people trying to get food from air drops getting gunned down. In my eyes Isreal is targeting unrelated civilians at an alarming rate. Hamas killed about 1000 people where as Isreal has killed near 40000 with most being unrelated civilians.
Just a clarification: There is no evidence that supports Hamas killing even a 1000 people on 10/7, as Israel refuses an investigation into the matter. At least several hundreds killed by Hamas were IDF terrorists, which are valid war targets. It is also known that Israel was shooting at civilians from helicopters, such as the IDF assault on the music festival. Without a proper investigation, it’s unknown what share of the deaths were actually caused by Hamas vs IDF.
Because "killing supporters" is just a fancy way of saying "murdering civilians". Besides it just lays the groundwork for Hamas 2.0 what's not a good thing.
should I care??
hamas has been using shit logic to kill innocents,i have no sympathies for them or their supporters.
Not for longer than isreal has.
Any chance at peace starts with caring at least a little, so that means you want eternal war and/or genocide, but we already knew that and the ICC confirmed this.
