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.

War? Don't wars usually have sovereign nations on each side, fielding actual militaries and such. Looks more like an ethnic cleansing operation to me. By one sovereign nation on an ethnically defined and enforced internal enclave that isn't even recognized to be a real place by half the world
The military on one side are a group of cowards hiding behind civilians and under their infrastructure. There are two sides here. The government of Gaza aka terrorist group Hamas vs Israel.
Israel has yet to even prove the tunnels are in use. All it is right now is a ready built excuse to carpet bomb any urban area in the world. Because they are all riddled with tunnels.
FFS is that where the latest goalposts have been moved to now? Go check out the Hamas propaganda. They've shown enough videos of them using the tunnels.
Sure thing, but there is no command center under the hospital. Israel likes to pretend we all forgot their bullshit.
What you forget is your previous statements. They're always conveniently replaced by demands for more proof from Israel, right after the previous one was met.
Isrsel is the one who provided fake evidence several times, notably last time with the staged video of that mam surrendering in his underwear,
Israel has lots of explaining to do. If you can't see that, I can't help you.
It's okay. I don't need any help from the likes of you and your misinformation.
Genocide-deny, away, stranger! 😊
Israel never proved shit. No command center under the hospital. No Hamas fighters surrendering. All their audio clips from phone calls were doctored or thrown together or extremely vague. They pretended to deliver fuel to one hospital and took the phone call with the head of the hospital out of context to make it sound like they refused it. Like a cartoon they marked supplies with "BABY FOOD" on A4 papers. Right now they are surrounding anotjer hospital, killing anyone who leaves.
Israel has a strong prpagnda machine, and if you can't see it, it's because you are a victim of it. It's because it's riding your ass and you haven't been able to look right, left, and behind to understand.
Go ahead, keep covering your eyes. Be an oblivious shill with projection issues like you are.
Are you denying that the IDF has lied to the public continuesly?
Yes. You choose to twist the truth to fit your own narrative. It's very apparent by the lies you try peddling.
Show me one thing I mentioned that isn't a fact.
Reread the message you replied to. I don't feel like repeating myself.
Oh I see, everything I said is a fact and you want to deny it purposefully. Cool. Have a nice day.
Yet it's a lie just like saying it's all fact. I'm sorry your paycheck depends on spreading lies. Have you considered finding a better career than misinformation spreading?
Funny how it's actually also a fact that Israel has the biggest spending on social media and propaganda among all patties involved.

Like literally Israel is paying people to spread its genocide denial.
So you're being underpaid for your shitty work? You really need to find a better job.
Hmmm, I guess no one could ever pay me enough to engage with genocide deniers.
Idk, you shill propaganda around here like it's your full time job.
Ah yes, UN news and BBC articles are propaganda.
If the existence of Hamas among Gazans makes them all terrorists then I guess the IDF makes Israel a terrorist state.
Anything other than that is a double standard.
