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.

Would you really like to exchange videos like that? I can drop you stuff with Palestinians being happy firing rockets, staging scenes for false victim reports etc.
In the end, it's all about doing what's better for your people or not, being terrorists or not. Hamas are very much below what anyone would call "adequate". Israel is nothing like that.
Do you have any videos showing a massively-funded, western-backed military machine bombing Israeli hospitals and refugee camps filled with Israeli people?
Sure... go ahead!
And do you have videos showing how firing rockets at Israel actually helped Palestinians achieve anything good?
This attack by Hamas has done a lot to widen the cracks appearing in the west's pro-Israel propaganda effort - the fact that you are here trying (and failing) to patch the gigantic holes in that sinking propganda ship is proof.
So it was worth it to kill that many people and you don't have issues with it? So you support such aggression?
Oh, look... another white supremacist that only started caring when Israelis started dying! You sure came out of the woodwork when that happened, didn't you?
I am perfectly fine with the colonized defending themselves from colonizers using all means available to them.
Your thinly-veiled pearl-clutching is fooling less and less people these days, isn't it?
Where were exactly those people, who look like they care about Palestinians, all these years? It almost looks like they started dying just recently too.
I'm, too, perfectly fine with people performing mass suicide and making lives of their fellow citizens worse as the only result. I just can't help calling them stupid for that.
Oh, you're only hearing them now and that must mean they didn't exist before, eh? Just where did you think BDS comes from?
Didn't take you very long, did it, white supremacist?
They did a very good job being loud and relevant probably. It's just my mistake for not noticing their existence.
What does that even mean? My reaction to people performing suicides does not depend on colors.
If you can call people who prefer life over death "supremacists", then yeah I'm pretty much that. Wish everyone could become supremacists. I hope people can get educated, if not about history then at least about logic, so they could avoid such mistakes.
This you?
Do remind me... was you up there pretending that colonized people are responsible for their own genocide? Or was that somebody else?
It doesn't get more batshit white supremacist than this.
It's not about colonialism. It's about doing what leads to your own death, or not doing it. About doing what helps you achieve goals for better future, or blindly firing rockets at someone who you hate instead, building command centers under hospitals and doing nothing to actually protect your people.
Sooo... that was you pretending that colonized people are responsible for their own genocide.
Now the only thing that's left to discern is what brand of white supremacism you prefer - KKK or Nazi?
You are mistaking responsibility with consequences.
And what would a white supremacist know of responsibility or consequences?
