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 genuinely don't know what to do while reading news about Palestine. Donations don't help if the food isn't getting through the blockade, the biggest powers of the Western world seem to be in support of or turning a blind eye, and I as a citizen halfway across the world feel absolutely helpless as I watch children willfully being bombed and starved to death.
Go to demonstrations, boycott, speak up about Palestine, message your representatives, vote only for politicians that condemns Israels attacks and have a credible policy of supporting Palestinian rights.
As for donations there is organizations that try to get Israeli war criminals prosecuted and challenge governments in court to stop arming Israel. See two examples below.

Yesterday one of you guys got banned for genocide apologia (saying shit like "Palestinian deserve it").
Incidently, he was also a big fan of sarcastically pointing out how trump was so much worst than kamala.
Just admit you guys hate arabs
They like to drive the topic away from the genocide. This topic was relevant during the election. But now it is clear a comment to get people upset and stop them from discussing what they can do to stop this genocide.
Drop the act. You think you're using sarcasm to make a good point about how tankies are trumpers and Russians or something.
You're not. You just proving yourself to be utterly moraleless by advertising the world you voted for a genocider. Not only that, but you're bring up America as if it was the only country in the world. Guess what, idiot, you're the only ones where support for genocide is a given on both side of the politican spectrum.
Your sarcasm cannot hide the fact you don't really think about foreigners as human.
I love that you meant that ironically.
In reality you'ree just describing americans. When your country have been founded by bunch of exiled bigots, you're bound to have a certain kind of inherent suppremacism going on.
The american state is rotten to the core. Liberalism is mostly about the freedom to do business, and business owner always end up funding fascists. Liberalism leads to fascism
Gross
Are you fucking dumb?
You have to be dumb to vote Trump and think he'd do anything but condone and aid the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Goddamnit, I know you're probably a troll or maybe just some misaligned and ignorant fool who doesn't deserve me shitting on them but like ... Come the fuck on.
Can't decide if you're a troll or just ate the poison propaganda and took the bait to not vote Kamala and aid even more in the destruction of Gaza by voting Trump. Like voting him in over Harris is just voting for a worse outcome for the citizens of Palestine. Period.
I think they're pretty obviously a troll. Just surprisingly committed to the bit.
Yeah except I would disagree with your interpretation of that text in the modern day context. I don't believe it supports that.
