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.
-
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.

What a trash article. So when a single woman lies to a newspaper, that makes it entirely bad? Al-Jazeera is a Qatari mouthpiece?
That's right coming from an apartheid enabling, mouthpiece of their country's theocratic fascist leader that publishes lies all the fucking time.
They absolutely are
Allegedly.
Whoever says the contrary will wake up suicided by 19 shots in the back of their head... allegedly
The point is that Palestine has a history of exaggerating and straight-up lying about Israel's "atrocities" in an attempt to control its own population. All the way from 1948.
JPost could be slanted, but so was the Al-Jazeera article. Should we also ban all articles from them? Also The Guardian reports only pro-Palestinian stances. Should they be banned?
Or perhaps should we accept that news papers have positions.
And Israel doesn't exaggerate? C'mon man. They'll find whatever excuse they want to arrest, torture and kill not only Palestinians, but Lebanese people too.
No one in their right mind would have a pro-israel stance anyway, you cant exaggerate israels atrocities because they literally are and have been committing a genocide since 1948, right in front of our eyes, it can’t get much worse than that
No one in their right mind, except the diplomatic and intelligence corps of the western world. Plenty of reasonable people who know a lot more about this than you don't share your opinion. Don't shoot the messenger.
Removed under the civility rule. You can attack Israel all you want, but don't attack other users.
yes. no one need biased stories.
Yes, let's ban everything this guy doesn't agree with.
Well, at least you're consistent.
I am still surprised as to why Jpost is still being allowed here
Agreed. reported too.
