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.

Oh so an actual genocide. Curious.
Continued genocide. As advertised.
Do you believe what was happening up until now was not genocide? Because if you don’t then calling this an actual genocide makes it seem like you do.
Nonono, it's only genocide if it comes from Republicans. Otherwise, it's just sparkling ethnic cleansing.
Gaza would have had a chance.. Now bye bye
How? Honest question.
USA withheld weapon shipments under Biden, and according to white house staff Biden would regularly cuss out Netanyahu over the phone for harming civillians.
Whether you believe it or not, the Biden admin was constantly trying to negotiate ceasefire, but when they presented their deal with hostage release as a bargaining tool in the UN it got vetoed by Russia and China.
Harry Sission is that you? The same White House staff that told everyone how young & dynamic Biden was. LOL!
You mean the one UN ceasefire that was just to allow Israel to regroup and rearm not actually move towards peace? That was also what 5 ceasefire resolutions after all the ones USA vetoed?

Now with U.S.-approved ethnic cleansing.
Implying it wasn't already one?
~~Hey you're cool with the current regime and like genocide! What's it like being a genocide apologist?~~
Edit: Taking potshots at people who I agree with and don't deserve it is bad form.
In what way is saying it was already ethic cleansing and a genocide makes me a genocide apologist???
You know what? You're right, I'm sorry. Taking out my frustrations with the current regime on the wrong target.
It's okay. Completely understand. (and there's actually someone in the comments who should take that advice)
Gaza had a chance under Harris, yes Not anymore.
She campaigned on being exactly like Biden, how would they have a chance?
They had a chance under Biden. He was withholding large bombs and putting pressure on Netanyahu to end the conflict.
Now the bombs are being delivered and Trump is putting pressure on Netanyahu to finish the conflict.
Oh, yes. I'm sure that he would've succeeded eventually. Just give him another 4 years...
He did. He dropped out, but he very much did run.
Have a drink of water and drop the name-calling.
Lol his one act of defiance was limiting the 2000lb bombs. Really worked hard there to stop it.
What pressure did Biden ever put on Israel?
jfc you're really acting like massive explosive ordinance shipments being halted doesn't have any impact so you can justify helping elect an actual genocidal fascist?
Voted for Harris. And no it didn't. Just meant they dropped more.
At this point it doesn't matter if we voted for Harris if we didn't support them and do everything in our power to convince everyone else to do the same.
Harris lost because she wasn't perfect and that is OUR faults for constantly complaining about them.
Til we needed to put in 1000x more effort than either dnc candidate after being told a wet paper bag could beat trump.
Real the party can never fail only be failed energy
Not shitting on them every opportunity would be a start. Most would consider it the bare minimum, if thats 1000x effort for you then that sounds like a skill issue.
Oh we can't be critical of them now? I thought we just needed to convince others how great they are?
That comment is exactly why fascists are running the USA, congratulations.
Til I had more impact than biden or Harris on the election. Totally more on comments than I do rather than them being gop lite.
Couldn't possibly be her saying most lethal military or anything else.
YES. YES. VOTERS COLLECTIVELY DECIDE ELECTIONS.
