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.

Wait do you really think bombing nazi Germany and imperial Japan was wrong? When making the argument I didn't really expect anyone to take the pro-nazi side lmao. I respect it, at least you're logically consistent
Do you not think it's wrong to target civilians during wartime lol?
If the nation is engaged in total war with you, probably not. What should the allies have done instead?
This is the most glaringly narrow and selective interpretation of my comment.
I could have come at this from any angle and it would look bad for you.
See previous comment
Exactly. Israels capabilities would be sufficient to wipe Gaza off the face of the earth within a couple days, since they have access to technology that the allies could have only dreamed about. So why don't they?
Maybe you should check again, since nazi Germany was literally occupied by the US after we surrendered in 45. In fact it was initially divided into four zones controlled by France, USA, UK and the USSR. It's almost like losing a war you started will net you a military occupation. Now tell me, in which position could a country be after losing four wars in a row when it is let by a militia that was formed to literally cleanse the earth of jews? Small hint, the moral high ground is not one of them.
True
OK thanks for taking a week to completely miss the point again. Like a laughable waste of time.
You quote me saying the US didn't have nazi Germany occupied, like it's not relevant to what happened during the war, but then you say the US occupied Germany after the war. Not relevant. Isreal is occupying Gaza before during and after this "war".
Maybe in February you'll have a change of heart.
They quasi occupied them before this war (even that is a bit of a stretch) but not before every war they have waged on Isreal. But yeah maybe I'll have a change of heart after 4 or 5 more UN resolutions which call for something to be done and 4 or 5 thousand more rockets launched into Isreals general direction. More realistically, things will not get better until Palestinians get rid of the delusion that they can throw Israel out.
