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 don't want to share the world with people who call for the eradication of others. Obviously missing the point on purpose. I don't think calling for genocide is the answer to genocide. Your view is twisted.
if they are nothing but genocide, you can't stop the genocide without killing them, and destroying their culture
which is just genocide all the way down.
some things are just irredeemably vile. nothing left to salvage.
theres a way some of them survive, but it must be at the discretion of Palestinians, and they must be allowed to die or it won't work.
You are wrong. Calling for genocide is wrong in any and all cases. Your view is twisted and abhorrent. Your want for Israel to be eradicated is no better than those of them that want Palestine gone. Hold those responsible accountable yes, but the way you look at life is quite sad.
And calling for the eradication of Israelis isn't going to stop what is happening either.
If you think words can't compel others, you are sadly mistaken.
I don't think it materializes from nowhere, it materialize when people talk about removing that other group from existence. Not a joking matter. Genocide to "solve" Genocide is dumb.
Never said it was, but neither is the wholesale slaughter of people. Keep in mind you said "someone" not an entire country of some 9.5 million people.
Israeli lives matter, as do Palestinians. Because they obviously both do and they both can. Why the quotation marks around Israeli? If you say otherwise, you are genocidal. Thankfully your opinion of the value of lives is as worthless as you deem Israelis to be.
Continued advocation of genocide, you're done here.
Thank you.
Genocide is not the answer to Genocide, you know this. You cite an example that doesn't remove every russian but instead goes after those responsible, yet you see content with the thought of every Israeli being Genocide. You know there is such a thing as Israel, because it exists.
