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.

Your video is login-blocked but those people were in fact not raped. If anything they are further evidence that no rapes happened.
After that the article derails into some hearsay about anonymous unconfirmed rumors. Strangely the people you are citing have certainly not experienced that.
The UN report being filled with the same claims used by NYT which have been completely debunked does not lend it any credibility either.
Rapes, murders, and acts of violence were absolutely committed by members of Hamas. This is perhaps an uncomfortable truth for you.
I think you mean the people you used as evidence by posting a chopped up propaganda clip. I merely linked to the full interview where they did not speak highly of their captors.
Strange how the UN is infallible when they agree with Hamas, but when they don't it's "hearsay about anonymous unconfirmed rumors." /s
That report has not been "debunked," despite what you claim, or what The Intercept published about the New York Times.
The video you linked contained zero evidence of anyone being raped. Alongside everything else you claim.
In fact it shows this girl struggling between being gaslit by the IDF which tells her she went trough the Holocaust and her own experiences which boil down to "we were not tortured nor sexually violated in during our captivity".
The UN report goes out of the window the second they used the Nova festival for their evidence as we factually know that those claims were fake. In the UN report there is also no forensic evidence. Everything hinges on "anonymous witness statements"
Another big difference is that the Palestinian women raped by the IDF themselves claim they were raped. Whereas this current report only quotes "witnesses".
I don't know what to tell you other than are straight up believing propaganda my human. Like, your empathy with the Palestinians is commendable, but your lack of empathy for Israelis is abhorrent.
I’ll make a few statements about what I see in the situation, but picking through every piece of disinformation is exhausting and I don’t have the time to continually engage with you at this time.
Palestinians are suffering and dying horribly in Gaza in very unjust ways.
Netanyahu wants to expand Israel, and doesn’t believe in a two state solution.
Netanyahu does not want the conflict to end without a major victory, because his political career is over once the conflict is.
The hard right of Israel doesn’t care about the suffering of the Palestinians.
Hamas is brutal, effective, and in many ways immoral.
Hamas does not believe in a two state solution, wishes to destroy the nation of Israel, calling for the removal or killing of all Jews in Israel.
Hamas does not want this conflict to end because it benefits their goals. They gain international support, and power when Palestinians suffer and die.
i haven't reviewed the un's claim, only the AP writeup which was pretty thin. all the "evidence" I've subjected myself to is, as you said, hearsay or innuendo.
I had been pretty cavalier, saying it didn't happen, but the headline on this post does give me pause.
Every time one of these reports comes out I check it to make sure I'm not wrong. And every time it's just a load of horseshit. This is like the 5th time we're hearing the same allegations without evidence after the last 4 were debunked.
I was called crazy when I said the NYT report looked like a complete fraud three months ago since there was no evidence. Now that report is falling apart the UN comes in to rescue the day with more completely unverified claims.
