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.

I don't believe that.
We would totally do the right thing, but for this stuff going on behind the scenes.
"No no trust us, I'm against Israel's genocide, I'm just not gonna use any influence to stop it, I'm not going to make it part of my campaign, I'm going to tell people protesting the genocide to shut up and that I'm speaking. I am clearly anti-genocide, just let me keep with Biden's pro-genocide polices."
Whether you "believe" it or not is irrelevant. It was her position as stated publicly multiple times. That problem is yours, not hers.
In the end though, the desire to "save" Gaza will result in the extermination of Gaza because you simply wouldn't listen. Good jorb!
If the dems had not known they could count on their base for being cowards, they might have considered the electoral implication of bombing civilians.
For what it worth i don't even think you're an asshole. You have been propagandized. Deprogram yourself man idk

Liar liar pants on fire
biden said the exact same shit while shoveling weapons at netanyahu. there was no daylight between biden and harris on this issue.
democrats wouldn't listen to the people who didn't want genocide. we were too insignificant to listen to.
So we're too insignificant to blame. But blaming anyone else might require the party to abandon the only policy it has actually stood for in the past 40 years.
And again, Harris is not Biden. Two different people.
And again, she offered no change on Gaza from biden. one policy.
4 consecutive months. Cease fire, hostage release, two state solution. Everything the anti-Genocide people wanted.
"Buh buh wE dOnT bElIeVe YoU!!!11!11"
And so we get Mr. "Do it faster, it's making you look bad."
Everything biden said while selling weapons for genocide.
The ONLY thing harris had to say was that she would put conditions, ANY conditions on selling weapons to netanyahu.
There was and remains no difference whatsoever between biden and harris on Gaza. Everything the pro-genocide centrists wanted. And there has never been and never will be another kind of centrist.
