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.

As much as most people in the Middle East would like that, I don't think it's likely to happen. Netanyahu needs this to keep going to stay out of jail and realistically, letting Hamas and Hezbollah reconstitute themselves just gives them time to execute more terrorist attacks, which Israelis have every right to be against.
I don't see this war getting cleaned up neatly anytime soon. The only way I can see it happening is if the U.S. steps in to militarily enforce a two-state solution with a DMZ, which they never will (and for good reason; that would be its own clusterfuck).
If Israel's treatment of its neighbors and its own non-Jewish citizens was fair and just then they wouldn't need to worry about these kinds of attacks.
Only people who don't know their history think that. Arabs in that region have been calling for the destruction of Israel since its inception.
They've been calling for its destruction because of the unfair and unjust treatment Israel has inflicted on the Arab population.
Israel really is like that spoiled kid in the neighborhood who's dad is rich and powerful. He sits there and throws rocks and makes fun of everyone and then runs and hides behind dad.
Now we're at the point where neighborhood pets have gone missing and dad just thinks it's odd while he looks for his hunting knife.
Little Israel would never do anything really bad. He just gets a bit rambunctious. He's too young to know any better.
Because Israel has been an Apartheid state since its inception. Do you know what the Nakba is?
They don't. If they'd just call for an equal and just peace none of this would happen.
Or stop giving Israel weapons. That'd solve the qhole thing.
That's ridiculously naive. Hamas has been attacking Israel for a very long time and they're not going to stop simply because Israel agrees to a ceasefire.
No, it wouldn't, because Hamas would just re-arm and commit another Oct. 7th at an opportune point in the future.
Not longer than Israel has been occupying Gaza. Don't get your cause and effect mixed up.
They literally did. Twice. Israel then proceeded to not uphold their end of the deal.
There is no place for Oct 7th (or any other acts of resistance) in a fair and just peace. Hamas didn't attack for the lols.
Hamas is a terrorist group that has made it very clear its objective is the destruction of Israel, stop pretending they're good guys who will stop once Israel stops.
Zionists stop by going back to their home countries.
If hamas chases them to europe, asian, africa, usa., then they'll be on the same level.
They literally did before. Twice. I'm not pretending anything.
Gotcha. So you’re literally supporting a terrorist organization. That’s enough of a reason to write you off entirely. Buh-bye.
Gotcha. So you're calling people slurs and writing off anybody who won't use the same slurs. Genocidal wacko. Buh-bye.
