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 no better than Hamas, or Nazis, or the Taliban, or any other organisation that uses violence as a means of political expression.
Wtf? Stop comparing the violence of Colonialism to the anti-colonial violence that exists only as a resistance to that occupation and Colonialism.
The violence of the anti-colonialism is done as a last resort to resist the unimaginable amount of violence the occupiers do on a daily fucking basis.
How fucking gross to compare Hamas, which only exists because of the Israeli Apartheid, with the fucking Nazis. While Israel is litterally doing a fucking genocide in Gaza as we speak, and has been for over 18 fucking months. Not to mention the blockade and 'mowing the lawn' which are some of the most brutal aspects of the apartheid that's been happening in the occupied territories since 1967.
JFC, what your doing is akin to both-sidesing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Have a shred of humanity. Anti-colonialist doesn't come out of fucking nowhere and is completely fucking different than the fascism of Colonialism.
Hamas exists as it is today because it has been sponsored by Israel, while other, non religious extremist Palestinian parties/organisations were sabotaged by Israël. It was a clear choice to have an agressive and unreasonable opponent rather than a diplomatic partner that could be worked with towards a peaceful solution. Hamas is very much a creature of the Zionist Israeli politicians and has consistently worked against the interest of the Palestinian population to give Israel excuses to do what they do. Hamas is not worthy of your support, the Palestinian population who is caught up between all this, very much is.
As it stand they are the only armed force defending people who gets genocided.
Not supporting them is being on the genocided side.
And what have they done to defend the people being genocided? Nothing at all. They're like the kid who kicks the school bully from behind and runs, leaving only you for the bully to see when he turns around.
1- Messing up the abraham accord that was trying to isolate palestians even more. 2 - Revive the world population attention to the 57 years occupation. 3 - More countries recognizing the palestinian state 4 - Hamas having direct access to the occupation forces to kill the terrorist soldiers
Occupation forces will always kill civilians they are the only side responsible for everything including attrocities like the 7 of october.
It would be cool if we could just say israel stop occupation and they stop but that's never the reality. By stripping the right of armed resiatance you simply defend occupation which is the ultimate terrorist act
I don't propose stripping the right of armed resistance.
Every single armed group in Palestinian is in terrorism list . Hamas is still the strongest group . We should condemn Hamas when it target civilians and praise them when they attack the occupying force
Yes, indeed.
