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.

What a bunch of propagandistic shit, OP. We all already know Hamas is a terrorist organization who launched a massacre aimed at creating as much shock and horror as possible. Let's shift the conversation to Israel and what we can, as westerners, advocate for and against.
The US literally has a Zionist president. Biden passionately supports Israel's Settler Colonialism, Genocide, and excuses their War Crimes. Nothing will be done about this, for years, until voters prove we will vote against this wicked set of beliefs. 70% of Americans support Palestine. Why have we got a Zionist president?
Voters don't have that much say in who becomes president. The system is rigged. You either get fascist red or diet fascist blue. Until the first past the post system is eliminated it's going to stay rigged.
American voters are too busy trying to prevent the right from taking over to consider what our only option's current stance on foreign policy is. Add to that the crippling fact that about half of our voting population actually does want a red flavored fascist take over.
If not for our zionist president, we'd have a dictator wannabe entering his second term. It's not a good situation.
Edit: I'm not saying this post isn't propaganda bullshit, just that relying on the American voter to vote on foreign policy morals isn't going to get you very far.
Ok ykw you are right
Huh?? If you think it’s true then how is reporting this propagandistic? Shall they only post info that isn’t related to the investigations into the attack?
I’m not defending the idf by any means but you really missed the forest for the trees. The conversation has been on Israel and hamas, why are you mad that all reporting isn’t just Israel?
Do you hear yourself lol
Are you joking? This absolutely has been happening since it popped off but one NBC article and the west has fAiLEd
Give me a fucking break
I'm mad that reporting isn't on Israel because Hamas' horrendous attack is now past tense and Israel is now in control of the situation where news is happening basically hourly.
Half of Gaza is expected to evacuate to the south today before Israel is going to - I don't know what.
If the most present situation isn't being talked about, then this isn't a good source of news.
