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.

Gosh, it's almost like one side lies constantly.
Let's be real, both sides do. One just does it in English.
No only one side is consistently lying about everything.
The more you research the history of Palestine the clearer it becomes that the issue is always the same side that then somehow pretends to be the victim.
You do know Hamas (and most other similar organisations) claims the Holocaust never happened, right? They're not above spreading lies they find convenient. As often happens in geopolitics, everyone sucks.
I don't know, maybe you think Palestine has had such a rough time they're justified, and they have had a very rough time, but it's still lies.
Israel literally has a department called Hasbara which I think translates to "controlling the narrative'. Israel lies about shooting a journalist for half a year when it was captured on video.
I'm not saying Hamas is some kind of truth oracle. They recently made a video pretending to make snipers in Gaza which was very clearly fake. But major Palestinian events always check out from the Palesinian side and are full of lies from the israeli one. The Holocaust did not happen in Palestine and is not part of Palestinian history.
From the article I can find Hamas didn't want to teach it to kids and instead put Palestinian history such as the Nakba in the curriculum
Palestinians heavily doubt that anything taught by israel is true because in israel textbooks the Nakba gets descibed as a voluntary migration where israeli's honorably defended their land instead of israli's mass executing and raping Palstinians.
This shapes the Palestinian view that (incorrectly) literally everything taught by israel is just made up lies because they lie so much
Upvote because that sounds about right. I don't think we actually disagree.
