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.

So you believe they are using the hospitals as a cover story to kill all the people sheltering there?
I believe that if Israel wanted to get rid of Hamas and rescue the hostages they would have done it with minimal casualties. They're using the Hamas are hiding amongst the people with western governments and media to make as an excuse. When they have very vocally stated their genocidal intent.
It's incredibly dubious when they bomb literally everything. Were Hamas hiding in small fishing boats, in an equestrian center, in an olive grove, in bakeries, in UN schools? They've displaced 1.6 million people and according to Euro-Med human rights organisation killed 14,000 people.
And what about the Occupied West Bank are Hamas hiding there too?
None of this is legal or morally justifiable. It's bunch of supremacist colonial settlers ethnically cleansing the land. An Israeli minister said today that Beirut is next. Bunch of racist fascists
Jesus fuck dude. That's dark.
Silver lining is that the UN are saying only 11k have died so far.
Also, there are plenty of Hamas members in the west bank..
Support for Hamas is the minority in Gaza.
It's a silver lining that Israelis have committed genocide to ONLY 11k? That's gross. The UN don't count those missing under the rubble, Euro-Med do.
I don't know man, bombing hospitals filed with civilians isn't really a good look as a nation.
As of right now, nobody in a position of power is holding them accountable, and sadly, I doubt anyone will.
"They" as in Isreal, no. "they" as in Kahanites, yes. Remember von Papen is currently Prime Minister, luckily they'll be running against a wall next elections no matter what.
