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.

Why does Hamas need Israel's agreement to release hostages? Can't they release them to the Egyptian border guards at Rafah border crossing in the South?
Even if they can't release them to Egypt, they could put them at the border, and tell the news agencies hey these are hostages being released, and put a live video feed on them standing at the border. I promise you Egypt would not leave them standing there indefinitely. The media coverage alone would get them to at least take the hostages over the border.
Hell, they could take them to a UN compound and release them into the custody of the UN.
Because that way they won't be able to extort goods and services for the hostages .. so sad seeing good hostage wasted...
In this press release Hamas said they tried to release more prisoners but Israeli wouldn't accept them.
If Hamas is being genuine, there shouldn't be any tit for tat on a humanitarian hostage release.
I'm just trying to demonstrate how The Hamas statement feels demonstrably disingenuous. Because they have other options.
Hamas is not a good actor, the plight of the people in the Gaza strip does not helped by Hamas being such a bad actor.
you make everything look simple. I'm slightly fascinated. then I get back into reality and I remember there's a cruel, blind war, and huge interests and plans going far over the borders of Isreal and Gaza.
the spiraling hate between parts? ah! silly them! "why they don't just..."
.
Not constantly, not every minute. Get them close to the border and then tell Egypt they're there. Tell the press they're there
Or released to the Red Cross, or the UN inside of The Gaza strip.
I'm unemployed I'm going to respond to every single message you post replying to me.
I asked you this already, don't be dishonest, with what internet? With what electricity?
What press my guy? They kicked aljazera out and bombed the AP building a few years ago with no evidence given. They've killed 23 journalists since the beginning of the month
Source on Egypt bombing the border crossings cuz I'm pretty sure that's Israel?
Yeah Egypt's not bombing the border. I don't know where you got that impression, but that's definitely not something I said
