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.

The truth is, you've completely ignored my point. Genocide as a response to genocide solves nothing.
Sure, Israel should be abolished peacefully.
I'm just saying, this isn't how we got here.
What fantasy land do you live in where the involuntary dismantling of a country is ever a peaceful process?
Decolonization can be done peacefully.
I don't think that will happen, but it could!
I also support Palestinian resistance, and that's very different from Israeli violence inflicted onto Palestinians. Indigenous resistance to colonization is always justified.
50 years ago you might have had a chance to make it happen, since most Israeli people would have been born elsewhere. Now you have multiple generations of people born and raised in Israel. They have nowhere else to go.
And you'll have to forgive me for being skeptical about a Muslim majority Palestine being tolerant of religious differences if they regained control of the whole area.
I'm not going to forgive your racism, actually.
So, ignoring the fact that "Muslim" describes one's faith, not race, do you honestly believe that a Muslim majority Palestine is going to drastically more tolerant than all the other Muslim majority countries in the area? What signs are there that would point to that being the case?
I'm not going to ignore your religious bigotry.
The existence of Israel is part of what causes that intolerance within majority Muslim countries. Israel, through its own racist apartheid and colonialism, has inflamed resentments in the region against non-Muslim peoples.
But Israel doesn't deserve all the blame! The other cause is the US actively propping up other repressive regimes in the region, as well as murdering so many people's families that they see no choice but to take up arms against the Great Satan.
The only way to believe that Islam is some kind of uniquely backwards and primitive religion is through racism. This situation is a product of recent history.
"Muslim" isn't a race. Frankly all abrahamic religions are backwards, the difference is you can change your beliefs, unlike ethnicity/race.
The word you're looking for is islamophobia btw. It seems english doesn't have a blanket term for religion-based hate/bigotry.
True, I'm pretty sure they hate them for being Arabs. They love killing Palestinian Christians too. It's racial.
Uh huh. All evils in the middle east are Israel's fault. And if not them, than the Americans. Sunni vs Shiite violence has killed more people in the area than the Americans and Israelis combined, and started over a 1000 years ago, but somehow that's the Americans and Israelis fault too.
But hey, don't let reality's shades of grey ruin your pretty black and white imaginary picture.
