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 good. The chosen people have chosen ethnic cleansing and genocide, being implemented by the highest ranked goy in the world.
I relish in the fact that my comment calling Trump a Goy and Bibi a racist piece of shit along with his government got some people ruffled under their feathers.
Good thing you’re born with the right parents so you don’t get carpet bombed into oblivion by a nation that has no right to exist and wouldn’t exist if the US wasn’t in their back pocket.
Jews even hate Jews that aren’t the right colour or race of people.

But god forbid we criticize this slime for what is truly is. Horrific. But you stand tall from your internet podium.
Shame on you for calling me bigot when I’m defending people who have suffered at the hands of Zionist, Jews and Israel.
How long till this post gets removed as well? Cowards.
Zionists hate Jews which are not the right color. Your comment is doing a lot of conflating.
So this Wikipedia statement is factual then?
The arrival of Zionist settlers to Palestine during this period is widely seen as the start of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The Zionist claim to Palestine was based on the notion that the Jews' historical right to the land outweighed that of the Arabs.
25 people have upvoted this bigoted bullshit.
This is why I will always be labeled a Zionist no matter what I say or do. It doesn't matter how much effort I have put into trying to stop this genocide or how much I condemn Israel... nothing I ever say or do will be enough because I happened to be born from certain parents.
I also never call anyone a goy, or consider myself chosen. Again though, that doesn't matter. To at least 26 people on Lemmy. Probably far more.
Mean words on the internet vs War Crimes. Oh poor you, you're so oppressed aren't you.
I’m not always with FlyingSquid but I’m with him on this one. People on lemmy are oh so progressive but under the guise of "criticizing“ religion, you can get away with saying the most horrible shit and people will be celebrating you.
Like, what does Judaism as a religion have to do with Israel colonizing & genociding Palestinians? Yeah they call themselves Jewish and they want a Jewish ethnostate, I get that. The Nazis did the same thing without any religion, the Soviets & CCP as well. People are just horrible and will use any excuse to dehumanize, subdue, kill other people.
What do you achieve by comments like the top level one? The murderous bastards will just be like "oh antisemite buhu, anyway“ and the people just living their lives minding their own business or people active e.g. in JVP are being insulted for no good reason despite being on the right side of history.
I read it as a jab of the religious right in Israel that in large part are the die-hard supporters of the genocide and use do scripture as justification. However, I have to agree with that the post is wide open for other interpretations, including antisemitic ones. So it's not a good post.
But all this "Woe is me" stuff i don't get at all.
