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.

I love how being a bigot is when someone tells your "ethnic group" to stop genociding. Thats crazy I guess you're saying the holocaust was fine because it was perpetrated by an "ethnic group" (Germany, if you didn't get it). Stop saying killing people is okay.
You said its okay for Israel to defend itself. Thats one of their many excuses to kill people. You don't defend yourself by bombing innocent people. You support Israel and their atrocities, thats acceptance of people being murdered and that isn't right.
So what does "defend itself" mean?
You're acting as if they gave Gaza a freedom, they did not. They controlled all of their water and electricity, and all imports and exports. That's not freedom, that's an open air prison. And for the people of West Bank, they live under total control over the Israeli oppressors, they have no rights. I bet you would fight for your rights if you didn't have any. But of course you think all Palestinians are animals, keep acting like you care.
Are you also going to ask Egypt to take down their wall that was put up for the same reasons Israels went up? Are you going to call out Hamas for constant attacks across the border on civilians that made the wall seem like a good idea? Why do you believe that anyone from Gaza or West bank has any right to enter Israel in the first place? I cannot just walk down to the US from Canada, am I in an open air prison considering the amount of control the US has on Canada? Why do you believe Israel owes anyone there rights when they are not actually a part of Israel? Why do you believe Israels involvement is the only thing taking rights away in Gaza and West bank in the first place? Why aren't you fighting for the rights of people in Iran? Saudi Arabia? Russia? China? India? Pakistan? Iraq? etc, etc etc?
Keep accusing me of things like that, really strengthens your argument.
