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.

What is Israel supposed to do? They got proof that Palestinians will never live with them in peace. In fact, they got that proof for centuries, but only now it's plain as day. Is Israel supposed to lose this war? Are they seriously the only country in this world which isn't allowed to defend itself? They owe nothing to Palestinians. They owe everything to the kidnapped who are still to this second held captive under savages who rape women and parade distorted bodies.
ISRAEL’S OCCUPATION: 50 YEARS OF DISPOSSESSION.
https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2017/06/israel-occupation-50-years-of-dispossession/
It's the only artificial country in the world, created by the US and his friends, on land with previous owners. They routinely keep pushing the limits of their land, with or without armed conflicts/excuses. They kick people from their houses, common people, civilians. If they don't comply, they are executed in plain daylight, in the street. They shield themselves behind persecution propaganda, calling everyone antisemitic for pointing the obvious, when this is not about them being jews, they are systematically exterminating people.
You see, Israel existing as a country, is not only against jewish tradition (read about that), but it's also against common sense. How a conflict like this can be solved, when Israel keeps killing civilians every year, since it's foundation. It's like having a 9/11 every three months, sure as hell that radicalizes every sane person. Since it's inception, Israel only has taken land, and killed people. What would you do in the shoes of a common Palestinian? Think about that.
I'm not pro Hamas, don't get me wrong. I'm just pro common sense, Israel existing as a country was a fucking mistake. Supporting them military and financially was another mistake. Giving them green card to fucking exterminate and steal land from other people for more that 70 fucking years it's just evil. Decades of systemic genocide, what in the fucking hell did you expect to happen? Decades of calling for help, exposing human rights violations, fighting with whatever resources you have, lead to this savage nightmare attitude. This people are giving back some of what they have received for almost a century.
Would you just tolerate that if Native Americans did that on your country? They were here first, so they have every right to kick you out of your house, or kill you if you resist? The fuck you are, you are grabbing a fucking rifle and fighting back. C'mon, even Putin is trying to do the same thing in Ukraine and we are against him because common sense, why it's failing that reasoning for us here?
You blame every Palestinian death on Israel? Seriously? Maybe condem them for the war of 48, but that was 80 years ago, and it was started by Palestinians (and other arab nations who were just racist towards jews) but people in Palestine don't live miserable lives purely because of israel. They have sky high poverty, dysfunctional leadership, an education system focused on murdering your neighbours. What will come out of a people wanting to just rebel against everyone? They rebelled in Jordan, they rebelled in Egypt, they rebelled in Lebanon, and they rebel in Israel. What this people need is a country to take them in, not trying to build another failed country in the middle east (whilst killing/exiling 7 million people in the process, as they oh so desire). Israel would never think of kicking out Palestinians from gaza/west bank if they developed themselves instead of focusing on death. They don't want this headache of terrorist neighbours. Two states isn't and wasn't EVER an option in the eyes of Palestinians. But the jews DO need a state. They're prosecuted all over the world, and without a country to defend them, things like the Holocaust happen. The situation got to this degree because of both parties involved. Palestinians who are head against the wall only wanting death, and Israel who focuses solely on defending themselves, with little regard on how civillians on the other side are living. Of course that with conditions as bad as those terrorists will spawn, but that's not on Israel to blame - that's on the palestinian leadership. Israel faulted with not trying to give Palestinians proper leadership that'll advance them out of poverty and terror. And I failed to understand your native Americans comparison. The natives are Palestinians, so yeah Israel grabs a gun and fight back. It's their home for 80 years, of course they'll fight for it. It's common sense. They're not invaders from outside, every Israeli fighting now was born there.
