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 dare you be so critical of Biden
..Biden doesn't want to support the genocide of Palestinians, he is just forced to given the fact that if he looks weak to independent voters from not unconditionally backing Israel's genocide of Palestinians than he is going to lose the election. Do you honestly think he would be supporting a genocide if it wasn't a smart political strategy?

Ok fine so maybe even independents think what Israel is doing is awful in Gaza, but can't you people be patient and wait until the dust settles after the election, and after all the Palestinians are dead and removed from their land? We can have a discussion about whether the Palestinian genocide was right or wrong then! Stop sabotaging Biden in the meantime, he is trying real hard to swoon those independent voters and they clearly are rabid supporters of the IDF committing genocide which is definitely a fact I didn't contradict a second ago!

4 hours and not a single right-center douchebag has come out of the woods. Maybe they’re catching on that their rhetoric isn’t working and Biden is going to flat out lose the country because of his genocidal friends.
Is this sarcasm? I'm neurodivergent and can't tell
Yes it was. So many people come out of the wood work to say we can't be at all critical about how Biden has handled this
They’re one of those people that magically appear only when there’s some news about Biden they can shit all over. Check their comment history if you have any doubts.
For the record, I’m neurodivergent as well, I’ve just had a lot of experience with these people. It gets easy to spot them after a while.
Video is in the article.
What seems to be a tank drives up at 0:55 and shoots at 1:08.
The Bulldozer crushes them into a pile of rubble at 1:27
And I wouldn't be shocked at all to find out that that corpse laden rubbles are dumped into the sea to build the US' stupid fucking dock.
I would like an explanation to the downvotes. We know that the US has been using rubbles of houses and structures to build their fucking dock.
Why is it a stupid fucking dock?
Because it's a technical solution for a problem that could be solved by a fucking phone call. The lack of food in Gaza is solely due to Israel blocking trucks at the border crossings. All Biden needs to do is call Netanyahu, tell him to let all the trucks in or he gets no more weapons, and the people in Gaza will stop starving within days. It's not an infrastructure problem, it never was, and there's no reason to spend months building a dock.
Maybe because stupid fucking Israel destroyed the already existing Gaza port and won't let trucks in with aid? So it's a stupid fucking waste because of stupid fucking Israel?
EU, UAE, UK all vowed to use the stupid fucking dock, so the rest of the world seems to think it's a good solution to a VERY time sensitive problem.
***This post is to simply test the waters of whether Mr. Wildbus is a)anti-Biden no matter what, b)Pro-Israel no matter what, c)Elon Musk
Maybe it's gonna take, what? Months to complete? Why can't they just drive trucks with aid in ? Seems like they have no issues driving trucks in with building materials ... It's a diversion, and it fucking stupid. It's taking people for idiots and it's incredibly insulting to the people who are suffering.
There are so many issues with that plan, it's insane people would defend it.
Maybe the EU and the UK let's be real also all have been stalling on the issue at hand aren't exactly the moral gauge we should be looking at.
And yeah, fuck Biden, fuck him for lying that he saw evidence of dead babies, fuck him for supporting Israel no matter what for decades now. Fuck that geriatric ass hat. And if you think I like Elon, let alone Israel, you're also most as dumb as the dock itself.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/07/gaza-floating-port-aid-palestinians-impact
Gaza never had a large port. Any port being destroyed has nothing to do with one needing to be constructed to directly offload aid from ships into Gaza. The only large port nearby is in Egypt, or further in Israel. Those end up with the same issue that were in right now of aid being prevented from entering by land, which yeah it sucks but doing something is better than just sitting around saying it sucks.
And the reason Gaza never had a port was because Israel has a naval blockade on the strip. They have always been kept dependent on what could be imported from Israel.
They can save on bullets, by lining them up and shooting them through the head, before they fall in their graves.
I've read about that from somewhere in history; can't exactly remember wer war schuldig, I mean, who was guilty of it...
I wonder how long until they start building gas chambers for Palestinians
They probably should've released the hostages sooner.
"Your authoritarian rulers kidnapped some of our people so now we get to kill innocent people with impunity" is a super shitty take
Can you point out the hostages these two men had in the video?
Oh, look, another one parroting of the Nazi propaganda that an entire people are responsible for and hence can be killed as reprisal for the acts of a few amongst them.
Whilst conflating Palestinians with Hamas is merelly pure racist "logic", using that to justify mass murder of Palestinians is Nazi-level cruel violent racism.
Death to Israel and their supporters
You mean the ones they've been caught shooting? Maybe the hostages are just a shitty excuse so morons like you say dumb shit like that.
So nothing new. Israel still going on about with its genocide.
