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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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 all three major religions want to make the lives of women more difficult.
Who'd have thought.
The three Abrahamic religions? ...weird they all worship the same god by different names.
I don't know that I'd include judaism on a list of "three major religions." Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.
isn't judaism just a variation on christianity anyway?
In terms of numbers then yes.
But in terms of disproportionate influence then no.
You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?
Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.
It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)
Most Jews in Israel are Atheists.
Most surveys suggest that roughly 15-25% of Jewish Israelis do not believe in God or describe themselves as atheists or convinced non‑believers, depending on wording and methodology.
Zionism is the abandonment of the Torah by saying the Messiah will lead the Jews to the promises land and instead doing it themselves.
"God" for Israelis means "Jewish people". They are their own God.
Yet the majority of the world are bootlicking israel
Leadershit maybe, but the general public seems to have had enough.
Leadershit are the ones making the difference right now. People's sentiment mean nothing unless they hold their leaders responsible. People are dying right now and still no action is being taken.
But the leaders are elected by the people and foreign conflict with always comes after domestic affairs like the economy
Large parts of the world don't have fair elections, or elections at all.
Also, yes people vote on domestic affairs first. Doesn't mean they support the foreign policy, just that it is a lower priority. We typically don't have "if all else was equal" in voting decisions.
Or we have situations like in the U.S. where both sides are in on the bootlicking. One side may go further than the other, but both choices are bad in this regard.
If the population keep voting for those type of leaders there is zero reasons for them to care about Palestine and listen to people. The only way is voting them out of the system and we sre in a very critical time where Gaza may cease to exists in few years. Time is running out
