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.

Nice. Iran has the right to defend itself.
I wouldn't include Nice, but I agree with that.
Israel came in and started an act of war. If it was flipped, news would be screaming about Iran being a warmonger.
Because Iran IS a war mongering nation. Just because they are the enemy of the people you’re Xenophobic about doesn’t mean they’re the good guys
Your comment isn’t written very well so I can’t be sure of who you’re calling xenophobic. But if you’re trying to do that thing where you conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, you can fuck right off. We’ve had that argument and your side lost.
I know people in beyruth. A woman. The israeli firebombed her parent with white phosphorus.
Fuck israël. Nothing xenophobic about it
Iran has never started a war
The sponsor of hezbola, hamas and houtis, that floods the middle east with weapons since the 70s never started a war? That Iran?
Nothing xenophobic about it, unless Ehud Olmert is xenophobic.
Can the former prime minister of Israel be xenophobic towards Israel?
What's xenophobic about not agreeing with how a government is running a country, its people and its wars?
I guess my biggest issue is watching Americans moralize and try to lead the charge, while me and my people are still waiting for so much as an apology for all the genocide and cultural destruction you guys committed against us
I'm not American. Not everything is about America ffs.
Also if you're a native you'd belong in Gaza or getting bombed in beyruth. What they do to arab is exactly what they did to native american and you know it
Bit presumptuous to assume I and others are American too like
Who is us? Native Americans?
From the gay people they execute and the female protesters that they disappear?
Additionally did I have a right to defend or retaliate after you guys wrecked my country and treated my people like scum? Cause if so, death to America.
Israel do not discriminate between a pro regime, an anti regime, a women, a gay etc when killing
Yes!!! You totally have the right to fight for better threatment wtf
In fact that'd be a better use of your time than siding with imperialist genociders on the other side of the planet
From the genocidal Zionists which killed more gay people in one year than Iran since its inception.
Go simp for Zionists on Reddit.
It’s wild, im indigenous and have never had so much hate and racism thrown at me by white leftists who are perching to my brown ass about genocide and colonialism, as I have these pat two years. The rest of us around the world are shaking our head at you guys, your right wingers have been toxic for a long time, but the African left decided to follow suit this year. Non American leftists think you guys are all extremists now
The african left?
Non American leftist here. I think they're too mild.
And no you don't deserve hate. You know who else is brown? My wife. She's arab. She know people who lost their family to israel. Husband, children. Gone
So Americans sure don't threat their natives right but don't compare that to loosing your Family to a white phosporus bomb
In what ways? What are some specific views that you have that are in opposition to the American leftists? And who is "we"? At least narrowing it down to a specific nationality would be really helpful for context for understanding what perspective you are speaking from.
Yes
That was always an option, yes.
So if a bunch of Mexican people start blowing up your family it’s all good?
It would if the US had bombed Mexico yesterday omg
I mean I don't remember Canada fucking up Mexico in the past but sure? Its not all good even if justified, I would say the native people have a legit reason to beef with my nation for example. But I don't think I did anything myself to invite a response.
Iranian women are protesting and they want nuclear weapons https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QT8-500J7lo
Iran also should have the right to chose their own leaders. But they don't. Which is too bad. If they weren't stuck with a Supreme Dictator making their decisions then they wouldn't even need to be defending themselves right now.
Yeah stupid iranians. Had they picked some liberal coward like Germany they would let israel commit their genocide in peace and they wouldn't get bombed.
Haven't they think of that? Are they idiots?
They do not because do you know who overthrew the Iranian democracy in 1953?
From the podcast I'm listening to, sounds like it was Teddy Roosevelt's grand son.
