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.

How is saying that Israel should stop bombing hospitals the same as glorifying terrorism?
Hospitals are the very bases of Hamas so yeah, kind of. To the very least if you expect Israel to not bomb the people who attacked them at least give a realistic alternative.
You're sick im the head
I posted proof that Hamas uses hospitals as military bases, not sure what else you need to stop supporting them but yeah go ahead and insult me if it makes your feel righteous.
What proof? You've provided nothing. You just said they use hospitals as bases. There's no link, no source, no evidence at all.
Israel destroyed Al Shifa Hospital under the lie that there were tunnels and a command centre underneath, and weeks later there's still no evidence of anything that resembles a command centre.
There's no evidence at all that these facilities were being used as bases. Bombing thousands of wounded, innocent civilians under the probability that there might be a base (even though it's not confirmed) is just terrorism.
The only reason Israel isn't being done for war crimes right now is the US, and even they are saying the bombing is indiscriminate.
Proof that each one of you terror supporter disqualified and downvoted me for.
So in the end facts dont matter to you, and no matter how much proof you see, you'll always claim it's fake.
Which is ok, but at least be clear about the unfair game you're playing, stop lying to yourself.
Just because you claim there is no evidence doesn't mean it's true, it just means you don't want to look at it.
Israel created Hamas
lol you can't make this shit up I sware you guys are so insane 🤣 I guess the US birthed Ben Laden too.
