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.

Or, or or!
The UN framed this as a warning because they really don't want to stop sending aid into Gaza and the alternative is not to announce any changes at all.
But Israel does want the aid coming in...
So they can strap the aid workers to the front of their trucks maybe
Grow up.
Unlike all those Palestinian kids amarite.
Yes. It's a shame their political leadership sold out their lives in furtherance of a pan-islamic caliphate and a Jewish genocide.
Nothing makes Hamas happier than seeing their children be killed to Israeli bombs. The fact of its happening is their only weapon in this war. It's called lawfare. Look how well it works on you.
Oh I see, killing childen is okay because of "those people who are making israel do it". Makes perfect sense now thank you.
"if we're afraid of it then it's okay for us to do it too" - self-terrorizing fascists
They block most of it and murder the people distributing it on a regular basis
Ridiculous. All the food that comes in is because they let it in.
The second sentence is true. They’re inducing famine conditions but allowing an extremely small amount of food in.
Hamas induced food insecurity in Gaza. Period.
You're lying again. Period.
Oh yeah? Why doesn't Gaza import whatever they want through its airport or waterport?
Why doesn't Gaza have a seat in the UN?
Why doesn't Gaza have access to international banking systems?
Nah buddy. You are living in Fantasyland.
What fucking airport or "waterport"?? Israel have complete control over the borders of Gaza and thus full control over all imports and exports.
Because it's a part of Palestine, not a separate country.
Because it isn't allowed to by the Israeli occupation forces
Says the genocide apologist apparently arguing based on the delusional belief that Gaza is an independent country with no restrictions not placed by Hamas 🤦
Did you hear about the Middle East for the first time on October 7th or are you just extremely susceptible to even the most obvious propaganda?
Actually, I heard about it from the beginning of recorded history when all of the land you're talking about was inhabited by Hebrew speaking people called the Israelites. You know before they were rounded up and slaughtered by other radical pan Islamists.
Also, no Gaza does not have a water port or airport. And the reason they do not have those things is because they cannot have them without using them for terrorism.
Maybe if they reject Hamas and start participating in international relations instead of just International terrorism, they could have nice things again.
Seems to me like the people of Gaza have no interest in that.
Right. Nothing to do with Israel killing a large number of aid workers and destroying supplies, while killing civilians who try to get to them. It's Hamas holding back sitting on piles of food... Makes sense.
No, it doesn't make sense. Hamas is well fed. It's the people of Gaza who have been starving for decades while Hamas lives it up, spends all their money on everything other than food (but mostly just terrorism).
Guy let it go. You've already admitted you understand that Israel is killing children because the Palestinian government is fucked. A lot of us understand the nuances of the Palestinian government being fucked, we still don't think it should be open-season on the Palestinian kiddos, civilians and hospitals.
That being said, you may go have passionate intercourse with your cranial apparel.
It's not Open season. Nice try though. The bombings are actually very discriminate. The evacuations and warnings are very coordinated.
If they get ignored, that's not on Israel.
