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.

This is a direct result of a fascist (Ben Gvir) being the minister of "national security". This guy wasn't allowed to serve in the IDF due to his involvment with groups designated by the Israeli government as terrorists.
Bibi literally allied with fucking terrorists to stay in power.
Holy shit
Wikipedia
BBC. He has a number of repugnant views. There won’t be peace until BB’s cabinet is out of power.
Wtf. Dude literally said "my family's right to movement is more important than yours" and then turns it into "right for life vs freedom of movement".
I mean it sounds wildly out of context. Probably is.
Probably not.
As bad as the IDF is, I can't even imagine how much worse the IDF would be if they let actual terrorists in its ranks.
It was more of a "You're management material" type situation.
They already are terrorists they are already killing a huge amount of innocent for a political end. It's exactly how terrorism is defined.
Terrorists call ahead and tell civilians to get out of the way?
Maybe if even a few of the civilians could point out the Hamas members, say where the tunnels are, and we could have this all wrapped up by about Thursday of next week. No, inconcievable!
How is such prideful "martyrdom" not a wilful choice?
I mean if the terrorists destroy the cell networks used to deliver that warning and deprive the area of fuel so the old and sick can't move in time and often give wrong or confusing evacuation instructions, then yes, terrorists would do exactly that.
I mean they are letting fuel in and the cell networks do work. The area is 25 miles wide. Three new diesel power desolinizations plants open this year in Gaza. Maybe you got tricked?
Wild to mention the desalination where there is an acute lack of potable water in Gaza right now. And why the hell are the diesel powered in the first place, does it have to do with the lack of un-bombed power plants?
They bombed every place israel said was safe
Nah, not really. Common misconception. They didn't say go south and you will be safe in the first stage of the war. They said go south, and also don't go near anybody who's in Hamas or near any of the tunnels. If you went South, and you stood on top of a tunnel, or stood in the room with your buddies in Hamas, well then explosions happened.
When you live in an open-air prison you tend to hate the guards.
The suicide bombings came long before the militarized border.
You posed a hypothetical. I posed an answer. I'm not going to respond to a strawman like this other than to point out that it's a strawman. This conflict didn't start yesterday. It's like saying the Apache attacks started before Indian Removal. Doesn't change the fact that it's genocide.
Dude if they were to kill indiscriminately then yeah, but 1:2 terrorist:civillian numbers sure as heck doesn't sound indiscriminate.
