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.

If you cheer on Iran's strikes on Israel, remember that in addition to Jewish Israelis, Arabs, Palestinians, Muslims & Christians could lose their lives in the attack. Iranian projectiles endanger Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Amman, Lebanon, Syria & Iraq. War's not an online game
Why would I care about them more?
As do Israeli ones. And of course these are all rounding errors compared to what else is happening in Gaza.
I find it truly amusing when the Ceasefire Now crowd celebrates future attacks.
Isreal doesn't fly many air to ground missles. They use airplanes.
Im really curious as to what you think comes out of those airplanes. Maybe flowers? Love letters?
You see. I remark that missiles have landed in a lot of places putting a lot of different people in jeopardy. The response is "Isreal does too". Then i inform that Israel doesn't fly missiles. Comprende
I don't comprehend. Can you explain?
Read each from the top and when you get here I'll explain it again
I read your comments several times. I don't want you to explain it again. I want you to explain it better.
For example you say "Israel doesn't use many air to ground missiles. They fly airplanes." By definition air to ground missiles are launched from airplanes. Since this statement makes no sense, what did you mean to say?
Bottom line is Isreai won't throw missles all over the middle east, because they don't use air to ground missles
Missles fly. By definition they all come the air. Where they are supposed to land is what is important. An airplane can lauch an air to air or a air to ground or an air to ship. The same is true on the ground. Isreal launches air to air through the Iron Dome, but what it doesn't do, as Iran did last night, is launch air to ground from a launcher
The iron dome fires surface-to-air missiles. Iran fired surface-to-surface missiles.
I was not celebrating future warfare. I was hoping to avoid it, and you or anyone else can read it.
That wasn't you huh.
Even if we're lying by omission of context,
What does that even mean?
Some retaliation seems necessary. Unless someone hits back the israeli bullying will continue. Bidens refusal to tell israel to stop trying to start WW3 is what got us here to begin with.
The Iranian strikes were targeted on israeli air bases. Ironically one person that was critically injured was a Palestinian girl hit by the shrapnel of an interception.
While sad, the Iranian attack did achieve its goals. Create an expensive interception barrage for israel while not resulting in major escalation.
