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 formatPost 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 formatPost 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] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry 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.

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:

  • compliance of Western nations,
  • Anti Western mindset and propaganda.
  • Anti oil/fossil fuel impacts.
  • increased energy bills to all (i.e. you are directly harmed by it)
  • Predictability of the terror attack
  • ramping up of condemned settlers policy, decentralized violence
  • failed Palestine/Israel policy for 80 years
  • Israeli wealth
  • few, but public Israelis arguing in favor of this, publically and righteously
  • very public arms shipments to Israel, Israel being a global player in arms manufacturing and engineering
  • overwhelming military supremacy of Israel
  • freedom of press in Israel
  • committed by a organized, large, stable nation
  • Intel sharing
  • water shortages, incapability of reaching a remotely equitable arrangement
  • lack of natural resources of Palestine
  • glacial pace of the conflict with very low rates of death
  • haredi Jews role in politics and privileges paired with their policy demands
  • a jewish nation committing genocide seeming particularly hainous when they should be particularly conscious due to their own, historical suffering (sins/suffering of the father does not translate like that, you shouldn't hold anyone to that standard, in particular in lesser things)

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.

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.
