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.

Speaking of, Hamas has over 1MM liters of fuel, and ample supplies of fresh water, that they refuse to distribute in Gaza. They also refuse to return hostages, which would also immediately lift the siege.

Edit to add:
The reason they stockpiled so much is their tunnel ventilation systems run on generators (which is also the reason Israel is trying to deny them fuel, because tunnel fighting is a nightmare and that's what is coming)
Here's a great video with more info https://www.youtube.com/live/xfc0nHLgDuY?si=8P-MddAIFXsFt-mA
It's not unreasonable to expect an enemy government to feed their people, rather than your country
I mean we can copy the same comments to another over and over all day if ya want.
I've got 3 hrs til my plane boards
FWIW I'd strongly support a heavily-militarized aid station set up in the south but you know as well as I do that people would still blame Israel for Hamas gunning down people headed south.
Down near the border crossing that Israel keeps bombing?
Yes. Hence "heavily militarized."
You seem to think this crossing is like, a single street. It is not. It's a misleading name the same way the "Palestinian refugees camps" are really modern cities of 100k people with permanent, concrete buildings the same as any other city.
Uh no I don't think that it's a street. How does anything you said even address the point i made that Israel keeps bombing the crossing?
Oh right it didn't.
Care to try again and actually address the point?
Or you can just talk about some unrelated shit and try to deflect once more.
Sometimes there are Hamas terrorists in places killing people and those people get bombs dropped on them. That's the "bombing the crossing" thing you're discussing.
Your assumption is that this means Israel is targeting civilians or that it is impossible to do this while providing aid in the same geographic area. This is easily proven false because aid trucks, foreign nationals, and lots of people are in those areas and are not dead - because those areas are large.
This makes me believe you are totally ignorant of how the geography actually works, which I am still convinced of.
A heavily militarized aid area would not be enterable by terrorists and thus is a safe haven for providing aid. This is why I think it should be a priority for Israel
Not sure why you're bringing the attitude when you're the one who doesn't understand the situation and is just parroting shit blindly.
https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/middleeast/satellite-images-gaza-destruction/index.html Fuck of with the not targeting civilians thing.
You can't level entire towns and call it targeted (though I'm sure you will try).
I understand the situation just fine.
I'm not the one who only chooses to look at half of it and act like their team is somehow not committing ethnic cleansing. You need to take a long look in the mirror bud. You are cheering on the monsters now.
Go simp for Israel elsewhere.
Gonna press X to doubt on that one.
Lmao yes.
No.
Well I suppose you should shine up that SS badge or get your brownshirt out of the closet then.
Yes the Nazis are famously supportive of Jews.
Thanks for letting us all know you are so dense you can't comprehend an allusion.
Yikes you are bad at this.
Until it sinks in.
Enjoy eternity, because youre just factually wrong lol
