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 omits why the U.S. vetoed it, which is that no one was willing to condemn Hamas or address how a cease fire would only encourage Hamas to carry out more attacks against Israel because they have shown no desire to end their attacks. No one has presented any support to find and stop Hamas attacks, only for Israel to end their attacks.
So a cease fire would only last as long as the next Hamas attack.
Edit: downvoted for sharing the U.S. side. Interesting. Anyone have a solution for stopping Hamas let alone actually condemning them in a movee to stop Israel's attacks?
Well one idea would be to stop occupying Palestine. You know, their one wish list item they've had for their entire 40 years of existence.
What you are saying is the US vetoed it because they accept the false dichotomy in the Israeli narrative of the situation.
Oh no is this poor bot being antisemetic? :(
Just missing context, which is important and why we shouldn't rely on bots for getting all the news that matters.
Yeah, I would agree if this comment had REALLY been about the bot's performance. Instead it turns into ass kissing Israel.
Which we've literally observed several times before where Israel will sign a cease fire and hours later Hamas will attack... A ceasefire at this point is just signing up Israel for extra deaths and saves no one else.
Edit: For you morons downvoting me. I suggest you actually do some searches on who ended each ceasefire on all previous signed ceasefires.
Lmao. Sure if you ignore the fact that Israel has never stopped committing acts of war. How can you have peace while one side is blockading the other? It's one of the oldest acts of war there is. But you just ignore that. You just ignore the peaceful protests that the IDF shoots at. You just ignore the settler violence that gets a slap on the wrist if anything at all. You ignore Israel assassinating doctors and teachers merely because they had a Hamas party card.
Then when Hamas and other Palestinians resort to the only thing they've been left Israel puts on a big Pikachu face. This is an old story. Repeated all throughout the colonial age. And Israel is nothing but a modern colony.
