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.

It's the exact same playbook as in Palestine.
No doubt there will soon be Israeli "settlers" in Lebanese territory surrounded by enormous areas stolen from the locals "for security".
Netanyahu is the closest thing we’ve had to Hitler in quite a while.
Watch out, a French humorist has lost his job for making that comparison
He is Hitler.
Terrorism is when ones tries to achieve political objectives by putting pressure on a population through attacks on non-military targets.
What Israel is saying here is like Bin Laden hitting the Twin Towers to "pressure their political opponents".
That's a tad bit difficult since Hezbollah military rivals that of the Lebanese government. This is pretty much an impossible request and him saying that he's going to cause Lebanon "destruction and suffering"
They always claim Hezbollah is terrorist, but surely the IDF have a larger civilian kill count and a larger percentage of civilians killed.
Israel feeling pretty confident there is zero consequences to their actions now.
This is what I don't get... Hezbollah has seats in Lebanon's parliament. How is it any different than Likud? Aside from the whole, "not being actively genocidal" thing. Should we compare civilian casualties between the two groups?
Why are we only cool with democracy (and "spreading" it) when they vote for the people we like?
Edit: well, I stand corrected. Here is an article today showing Hezbollah committing literal war crimes today... Oh no wait. Hold on a second, that was actually the IDF:
So at what point do they become "terrorists"? Or are we just having a pointless semantic argument at this point?
A yes, the classic "start a war with the people we don't like or we will start the war for you". Truly sympathetic shit.
We have first genocide, yes, but what about second genocide?
It's looking like the Oprah meme. "You get a genocide, and you get a genocide, and you get a genocide"
I simply can not comprehend how any politicians defend Israel and don't have their reputation in tatters.
That's sort of his plan, to raze it to the ground. What Netanyahu doesn't realize is that all the war money he's burning through is also Israel's defense money, and that it will be some of the last it will ever get even if Trump wins. Biden is getting fed up, and Trump isn't a fan of Israel, he's a fan of money and Russia.
