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.

I support Iran’s defensive actions against Israeli aggression. I hope Iran chooses military and intelligence targets instead of civilian ones, in compliance with international law, despite Israel targeting primarily civilians in their war of conquest.
You’re supporting widening the war. You’re supporting more suffering and death. There is no genocide against Iran. Iran is stirring up trouble, widening the war, involving more and more people. That’s bad
Israel intentionally caused this, not Iran.
Israel blew up a compound where the IRGC was training Hezbollah. Go look up who died in the attack, no one’s refuting that bit of data. Hezbollah’s been in open conflict with Israel for months now.
Are you really so naive to think that blowing up another country's embassy on another country's sovereign soil is all hunky dory because "muh terrorism"? Embassies are civilian objects. To not expect retaliation for such a thing is incredibly stupid. Israel knew what it was doing.
Iran intentionally caused all of this when they had Hamas attack in October. The whole point of Hamas starting shit was to derail peace talks between Israel and the Saudis. With one of the main focus areas being an official Palestinian state.

To say Iran ordered Hamas to attack on October 8th is to show how much of an ignoramus you are.
Russia and Iran met to coordinate weeks before the attack. Hamas then executed an attack plan they had been holding back on for 2 years.
It wasn't a coincidence and acting like it was is idiotic. But you're welcome to follow the crowd here and put your head in the sand.
Israel is trying to widen the war. The Iranian response fairly tame and measured as usual. Like when we illegally killed their general in Iraq and they casually hit our bases there.
They'll go after nuclear facilities
Iran going to get its ass kicked.
Comedy gold right here. You couldn't be more biased or more wrong if you tried.
I am biased against genocide, wars of conquest, and bombing civilians. You got me
Who’s committing genocide in Iran? Are they killing off Kurds again?
Who’s trying to conquer Iran?
Who’s bombing civilians in Iran?
How dare the Iranians care about Palestinians lives.
And yet you support Iran bombing Israel.
Did Iran do any of those 3 in it’s retaliation strikes? No.
Right now Israel is doing all 3 of those however.
We have no idea what Iran was actually aiming at. So far they only managed to kill some people in Jordan and a Bedouin child in Israel.
Cut it out with the misinformation.
The US already said they were aiming for military targets, and nobody is reporting any deaths from these strikes that I have seen to date.
What we have seen is Israel commit genocide, a war of conquest, and bombing civilians.
Am Jordanian, nobody died here. I’m going to assume that the Bedouin child is also a lie.
But you support Hamas who openly want to kill every Jew in the middle east.
I feel like you’re trying to play a game called “who has more blood on their hands,” and believe that game has a winner.
The only winning move is not to play.
israel doesn't stop playing.
