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.

Who thaught trying to exchange your fighters against the other sides childrens would backfire ?
If you are a human being and not a bot, please get outside of your propaganda bubble and educate yourself. Israel's "prisons" are today's concentration camps, holding thousands of women and children without charges and evidence, not just "fighters."
If Israel's behaviour is not collective punishment (in contravention of international law), then answer why the IDF has even kept the dead bodies of their Palestinian hostages in numbered graves or refrigerators instead of returning them to their families. Answer why Israelis have been livid with Netanyahu's administration. Even if they don't fully see eye to eye with the rest of the world on this, even many Israelis understand the Netanyahu gov't, settlers, and the IDF are the ones doing the most to put innocent Jewish people in the way of harm.
I'm spending my whole fucking time telling privileged glorified nazis that no one loves that fucker back there ! Mostly because if his shit go on i'll have to attend the funerals of many friends because he dragged them in his mess and have been doing that for all of his office ! I know that. That's everything I'm telling. The problem is that most of the time when I start to agree with some internet people on that they immediately try drag me to : "you should be glad they're gonna kill your friends".
Meanwhile I see "pro-palestinians" repeating actual IDF propaganda lines. And behaving EX-ACT-LY how the Likud NEED you to behave because their only goal, is exactly the same as the HAMAS : to continue that war as long as possible.
And I'm in a state of fucking despair BECAUSE EVERYONE ON EARTH DECIDED TO BE FUCKING DUMBASS AND TAKE THE ROAD THAT WILL KILL A MAXIMUM OF PEOPLE IN THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY !
So wake the fuck up. Don't listen to the Likud. Don't listen to the HAMAS and stop repeating their bullshits.
And can you guess why the hell is that. Why is the world blind to the fact that benny has less support the Emmanuel Macron. Because Nethanyahu greatest victory was to not only successfully lies to his allies but also to his ennemies.
If you would like to see peace happen, then for a start, reject ALL of Likud's divisive and harmful lies and propaganda. You're repeating it yourself with the woefully inaccurate and incredibly politically charged terms of exchanging "fighters" for "children" framing. Palestinians-- many of whom are literal children-- are just being rounded up wholesale, including in the West Bank where Hamas doesn't exist. How can you call them "fighters" without charges, without evidence, without a trial... only on the word of the same IDF whose members have been proudly posting videos of their own war crimes? Wasn't it supposed to be never again for anyone?
