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 collapse is the direct result of our forceful action against Hezbollah and Iran
Oh. I mean I don't know how direct it is but unfortunately (???) Israel contributed to a good thing for once. If this results in a free Syria I don't know he probably won't be able to sleep at night, but either way I think he's trying to take credit for it rather than Assad falling being some kind of 5D chess move. If it was anything like that Islamists wouldn't have been leading the offensive and HTS (which is Islamist) wouldn't be set to have the most influence in the post-Assad government.
Nothing good about Islamic group talking control of the country. I am all for Bashar being out but it doesn't mean that the new rule will be better and that resistance groups in Palestine was getting arms from Syria.
This will only be good for America and Israel. They got a group that will fight Iran allies, keep Syria is rubble and allow more freedom for Israel to continue the genocide.
No offense but the naivety here is pretty astounding. Just look at any other imperial invasions anywhere. I recommend libya or iraq for most relevance.
Zionists and islamists have exactly the same goals with different religious branding. It's why ISIS apologized to the zios. Fascists work together as it suits them.
Huh? That's so wrong I have no idea where you got it from. ISIS do not represent Islamists in general, or anyone but themselves. I'm not using "bad apples" logic here; ISIS was bad enough to be rejected by other Islamists, and almost everyone else. Israel, and the West in general, absolutely despise Islamists because they among other things are fundamentally opposed to Western hegemony and Israeli Apartheid, as would be observed from US behavior during the war on terror and its consideration of every Islamist organization out there are terrorist.
