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.

This is a direct result of israel impunity. Blame everything on terrorism and then do whatever you want.
The only difference is Pakistan isn't Palestine
Blaming Israel for India's actions is an interesting choice.
They aren't, they're blaming Israel for setting the precedent. Now it's harder for any western country to admonish India because they let Israel do the same thing.
Entirely different situation with two vastly different nations. Shoehorning in a comparison between Israel-Palestine and India-Pakistan situations is odd.
Honestly, it is bold to assume any western country was going to admonish India. India has been courting Western businesses away from China.
I'm not saying they're going to admonish India, but if they want to, now they have a precedent set where they agreed to an allied nation performing horrific acts against civilians for the sake of rooting out terrorists.
You claiming it to be shoehorning a comparison between the two situations means you fail to comprehend the actual point being made. The point is they are already being lenient about a worst-case scenario like Israel's genocide that their words will lack power if they ever want to try telling India to stop.
Hate to say it, but a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan is on a whole different level then Israel's genocide. The entire world has motivation to intervene to stop the nuclear taboo from being broken.
Again, two vastly different situations.
You're still missing the point, so I'm not gonna argue anymore since it seems like a waste of time. I don't even disagree with what you said, but its basically you just arguing past the point I'm making.
Neg, your point was clear. You are arguing that the West lacks any meaningful power to intervene, because of the perceived lack of action on Israel.
Despite that not being the case at all.
Agreed. Have a good day.
