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.
-
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.

This is just a third hand hearsay by me - but someone claimed in the comments of another posts that he had a friend that had to experience the terror attack in the Bataclan. He explained that the first information that came out, was about certain atrocities that were committed. Later official sources denied that those atrocities happened. His first hand source on the other hand however confirmed that the first Informations were correct and didn’t even scratch the surface.
Why did the Government change the story? I don’t know exactly, but I personally think that they might have done it to limit psychological damage.
Those first person murder movies by Hamas are released for this exact reason - to inflict the maximum possible psychological damage and make peace impossible for generations to come.
Argument from Anecdote. Read it. Learn it. Got it? Good.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
HOW DAR YOU SAY FREE PALESTINE?! That is antisemitic!
/s
If you raise a Palestinian flag in the west you are a terrorist. Fuck this world.
Yeah sun yourself in your „righteous“ outrage - Hamas did Palestine no favor by committing those horrendous crimes. People that pretty much formerly unequivocally supported the Palestinian cause, like myself, were turned away by this. There is no easy comeback from this - and people like you only make it worse for the Palestinians… just because you behave like self righteous assholes.
“Terrorists did terror so let’s do genocide”
That’s what you sound like.
You are turned away from the Palestinian cause because of this? What is the 'Palestinian cause' to you? You are saying you support the view that an entire population should be eradicated or forced from their homes, because a group of militants among their population of millions committed acts of terror.
I do not believe that you "pretty much unequivocally supported the Palestinian cause."
Ya. My parents swore up and down that they knew someone from the next town over who worked at a school district where they were installing litter boxes for furries. Surprise, they didn't because it never happened. Outrageous claims need real proof. Something so inflammatory to influence opinion like this needs 100% verifiable proof.
cool story, bro.
I said that I got it from someone else’s comment- what is so hard to understand about that?
Feeling edgy in general, huh? Maybe you should masturbate more to get a hold of your obvious anger problems.
Hey, I read another guys comment that he had this friend that was abducted by aliens this one time at bandcamp, and he was pegged by totally hit alien babes in their UFO.
Aliens totally exist!
Right?
Oh I get it you support Israeli genocide, noted.
Everyone outside of your narrow mind can see that you are spreading only things that fit your agenda and prejudices.
You are so busy pretending that Israelis are Demons, that you cannot see what a sad and unempathetic Person you are, while doing so. Demonizing other people, demonizes yourself. You have no soul anymore. You have lost your empathy for ANYONE outside your narrow peer group.
