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.

Perhaps Israel shouldn't have put so much effort into ensuring Palestinians didn't have access to education and other basic human rights. I'm not into what Hamas is doing or what they've done really ever, but what were these rabbis doing while Palestine was being bulldozed for settlements? What, honestly, was the expected outcome? Decades of grinding them down wasnt making things more peaceful. I don't get it. You cannot blame people for not being sympathetic to headlines like this. You just can't.
I hear you.
Hamas is founded on the principle that Jews should not exist. Yet you expect Israelis to invite the Palestinians over for coffee and hummus.
Good job conflating Palestinians with Hamas. The only reason I might suspect it's not intentional is that you did it with such a glaring lack of subtlety.
It's their government, and multiple polls show that most Palestinians support Hamas, so it's not conflation. It's realism.
I guess Israel shouldnt have backed Hamas in order create an Islamist opposition to the secular Fatah and PLO huh?
I would guess they haven't read that far
Zionist is founded on the principle that taking the whole Palestine as their own land. Yet you expect Palestinian to invite Zionists over for coffee and hummus.
I think its "Israeli state shouldnt exist" not "Jews shouldnt exist".
Jews were living in most Arab countries including Palastine well before the establishment of Israeli state.
Edit: In fact Jews do live in Iran until this day
Hamas specifically advocates for total ethnic cleansing.
Ya but like what many people repeat. Palestine is not Hamas.
Hamas is the government of Gaza.
Hamas is the governing party of Palestine. Palestine is Hamas in the same way Russia is the Putin administration. Certainly that can change in the future, but right now, Hamas is running the government of Palestine.
No it's not. You are confusing Palestine with Gaza, Gaza is a small part of Palestine.
Sorry, I should have said: Hamas is the governing party of Palestine in the Gaza Strip, there is no government above them as Hamas is the government of that portion of Palestine. That entire region of Palestine is Hamas in the same way Russia is the Putin administration.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas
So Israel is Natanyaho then? These are all awful governing bodies but they don't represent their people in my opinion.
Russia never invaded Ukraine, it was just the Putin administration who invaded Ukraine.
-Said by no one ever
Zionist doesn't represent Jew. Jewish is a religion, Zionist is a radical movement.
They arrested many "American Jews" in NY in last few days for protesting genocide against Palestinians in their name. No media is reporting on it.
.... I misread, never mind.
At some point as you grow up, you'll have the opportunity to study history. I suggest you do so.
Fuck all these theocratic governments. This is what happens.
No it isn’t. Hamas was founded on the dissolution of Israel but they have no interest in killing Jewish people world wide. They’re not even necessarily interested in killing Jewish people in Israel. They just want the land back.
The charter does use the word “Jewish” but scholars agree it is interpreted to mean the land and not the peoples
And the second charter is in favor of a two state solution
