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.

Ok first question: Do you agree israel committing Genocide?
I'm not sure why we're pivoting-again. It seems you do this a lot. I asked a simple question: where in Article I does it state that countries are free to attack civilian trade vessels bound in international waters?
I do not agree with Israel committing genocide. If that was the case though, it would be the worst genocide attempt in history as Palestine's population has doubled in the last ten years. Israel is really doing a poor job at genocide then. Syria's government killed almost 100k in the last decade. They're really good at it. Iran killed about ten thousand people in the Arab spring. Can you guess who Iran is backing in this conflict?
I strongly recommend going forward that you do not take the random statements by some individual on YouTube at face value. If you really care about international conflicts and politics, there are plenty of resources to study this stuff. I'll admit, it's not packaged in an exciting YouTube format with music and video clips, but it's there none the less. You can go read Article I ( or any part of the Geneva convention on human rights etc). There's plenty of ways of learning about this but it involves some critical thinking and leg work instead of having the information packaged nicely in byte sized yt clips.
Okay thank you for proving that you are a Nazi.
Oh, you can't engage with the topic so you're switching to memes? What a goddamn waste of time you are. Go back to watching YouTube clips for your news sources.
I could link you an 84 page document submitted at the UN which proves that israel commits Genocide. But I guess the UN would be too "Anti Semitic".
That's like the fifth pivot in this thread. Once more: where in Article I is attacking civilian trade vessels condoned?
Go to Wikipedia and paste the summary of article one at the top of the Wikipedia page here. If you still can't read it. it I'll highlight it for you.
Currently, the Houthis are doing their best to exterminate LGBT communities within the borders of Yemen:
Amnesty International
I suppose under Article 1 that gives any nation carte blanche to step in and attack them to stop this, right? ... right?
Can you quote the part of the article you are referencing?
