Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Ok sure, beating around the bush with Genocide is a bit of a touchy subject with the Genocide of Palestinians raging on with state support of both the US and Germany, supposedly for the better of jews... so ok but know that I do not use such serious lightly or carelessly.
I didn't defend the genocide on the Palestinians. To be fair, I do believe it gets disproportionate media attention compared to other, ongoing genocides with much higher death tolls and suffering. In particular on the left. But this does not mean you should attack me out of the blue.
Nobody cares if you think the Palestinian Genocide gets just a bit too much media attention in the cultures of the main systematic enablers of the Genocide.
Yes, other Genocides exist and we should also talk about them, of course, stop trying to use that strawman argument like most people upset about the Palestinian Genocide are only interested for specific reasons and not because it is a horrific crime against humanity... as a whole... it should weigh all of our hearts down shame on those who can forget it.
I don't know if i have ever met a Palestinian, I probably have but I can't think of any specific interaction or person I know and say "ah yes they are Palestinian", but it doesn't matter, I know there is an entire history that I do not know, but also I know that Palestinians are human beings and that is enough.
So let us stand together against genocide ok?
I didn't say that. I said the others don't get enough by a mile.
There is ample reason for the Palestine genocide to be overrepresented, some good too, some bad, too. Please read this as perceived and not actual reasons, some are much less sane and valid than others, the order is somewhat random:
Many particularly hainous parts of genocide did not happen in Palestine and likely never will, such as seen in al fasher. Also I feel like the points somewhat repeat each other.
Freedom of the press in Israel?
Glacial state of the conflict?
Few Israelis arguing in favor of this?
!!!
wow
There are journalists on the ground. Many of them. There are large, international newspapers. There are far fewer than 1000 people dying most days. It has went on for years. That's a slow pace.
There are some notable Israeli figures who argue in favor of this. I didn't intend to write the are only a few of them, but that there are at least some.
