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.

Stop their colonialism and apartheid.
I'm the Gaza Strip, they have. The strip has the 1967 borders and no settlements.
What do you consider their colonialism?
I consider it wrong.
So edgy and clever. What parts of what used to be called Mandatory Palestine, and is currently considered Israel and the territories of Palestine, do you consider colonialism?
All of Israel. I don't think it's so hard, is it?
Ah there it is. So ethnic cleansing it is then? That's what you're supporting. And where do you suppose the almost 10 million people will go?
You absolute antisemitic little fool. How will that make peace? What will happen with the people? What is the history of the region and those people? None of that matters, huh? Just all of Israel should fuck off. It isn't that you want peace. It is that you've decided one group is an outsider and they have no rights to be where they are. And how do you imagine that will play out?
Nope, like I said, Jewish people can stay and live under Palestine, which I believe was one of the three names they were going to give Palestine anyway, instead they went with Israel.
They can have full rights under a democracy where both Palestinians and Jews vote.
What Israel is doing now is the ethnic cleansing. This is not, this is liberation.
LOL bugger off.
So Hamas murdered civilians, children, elderly, at gun point then burnt their houses down and took hostages but the answer is for everyone to go live with Hamas so they can all be murdered by terrorists that very vocally say their goal is to erase Israel and kill all the Jews?
Why don't you go live in Palestine and help directly then? Plenty of people have gone to help such as Rachel Corrie.
Shit by your logic we could give Gaza to turkey because the Ottoman Empire had it for over 400 years. Such brave Internet logic. Everything is so black and white. Tell me more about how terrorists threatening to kill hostages are improving everything for everyone.
I said a democratically elected Palestinian government where Jews and Palestinians are equal and full citizens. I said nothing about Hamas.
I literally cannot. Israel won't let me in because I'm a Palestinian refugee. Israel kicked my mother's family out in 1948, they had been terrorized by Deir Yassin and left to Jordan (yes, we were ethnically cleansed). Same year my father's family leave Yaafa for the same reason and he grows up in a refugee camp in Jordan. Fast forward to the 90's and I'm born. I also support BDS so Israel won't ever grant me a visa even if I just go for a conference lol not to mention I don't really appreciate being humiliated and strip-searched and potentially put in jail. I can't enter Gaza either.
I keep saying "Palestinians", you keep saying "Hamas". This is black-whiting it.
