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.
-
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.

If you yourself had any manners, you wouldn't troll on an issue like that. Also, I didn't call you names, I directly asked if you are Anti-Deutsch. You could just say "No, I'm not, that's not my ideology. I'm just a Zionist, without the pretence of leftism". If name-calling is that I call you out on the obvious bad faith troll behaviour, then idk, maybe stop playing victim, it doesn't suite you.
In the comment I answered to, you started of with a deflection away from Israel, with classic whataboutism: "But there are other countries doing the same". WhY dOeS nObOdY tAlK aBoUt ThIS oThEr StUfF.
Then you asked two questions:
I answered both of these questions, directly. I gave you my take, why this might be different from other atrocities around the world. You ignored it entirely and spam-pasted your previous comment with a little amendment how "it's interesting to watch the global outcry for kinda only one of these genocides" and immediately again, deflected to another issue, which again was simply whataboutism. So, it's kinda weird that you are talking about manners, if you yourself aren't even able to actually stay in the conversation, but ignore people's engagement completely. Quite demeaning, don't you think?
Now you slyly pretend to engage with what I said with "To answer your question, it's not just western news that (...)", but you don't actually answer any question I put forward. What you do instead is deflect from the actual substance of what I commented and derail towards what might or might not be your honest take, but it's not in any way shape or form in reference to what has been said.
I could engage with your takes, I would actually respect them as good faith commentary, if only you actually engaged with the substance of my messages. You don't, you are a troll.
You are a bad faith actor and I call you out for it. Directly engage with the comment I made above, do it now. Do you agree with my reasoning, why it's different? If you don't agree, reply with reference to what has been said, explain why the points I made are, in your view, not a differentiating factor. But you don't do any of that, you keep ignoring the topic and deflect, deflect, deflect. You are acting in bad faith. We are done, if you don't engage with the answers I gave to your very own questions.
Dude you can't complain about something you're doing yourself. If you haven't noticed there's a bit of sarcasm on both sides of the fence here. So this is a bit like the pot calling the kettle black eh?
Officially I'm not mentally enslaved by or beholden to any nation, religion, political ideology or culture. I wish all minds everywhere in existence experience less needless and avoidable suffering, not just human minds on earth.
Also no there are other tragedies happening and I do believe people ignore them mainly because it doesn't mess with their money and that's about the ins and outs of it. Either that or it's not connected to the abrahamic faiths and all the wonders that's brought humanity. Seriously there's like too many abrahamic death cults trying to end the world. Also there is a vague brown (or browner) people are less human thing going on.
