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.

I am 1000% ok with any country invading israel
Israel is not a country it is a colonization project maintain by weapon supply from the US along with being a tax and pedophile heaven for people.
There must be a lot of soul-searching taking place in Berlin tonight after Germany ended up voting against Israel at the UN.
I am actually quite relieved about it, as it demonstrates that germany is not just appeasing israel by the bon mot of "never again". It is actually taken seriously. Despite a bunch of eastern germans voting for neo-nazis because they are undereducated, economically disadvantaged and clearly living in an information bubble.
It is actually taken seriously.
I'll believe it when they stop selling Israel weapons.
Euro-Maga, basically...
Fuck propaganda has done a number on these people, exploiting their anger by pointing it to the wrong people.
Germany has conceded on optics but they still provide 30% of the weapons for the genocide on Palestinians.
Israel was never on the right side, but that didn't stop Biden from flushing our country down the toilet for the sake of their genocide against Palestinians...
The Republicans won. You don't need to pile on Joe Biden anymore.
The Republicans won, and now the Palestinians will now feel the full weight of Donald Trump's love.
That's the guy that Benjamin Netanyahu gave a golden pager as a gift.
Unless you're really just trying to boost the Republican party. In that case, certainly keep whining about Joe Biden.
Most Americans have heard the idiom:
Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
So if we're questioning the motivations of social media accounts...
What is your opinion on ones that try to suppress people from learning about why trump was elected president not once, but twice?
Continuing to never hold Democrats accountable for their terrible decisions will surely improve the party this time, I suppose.
We are fighting literal fascists. Do you really think blaming the non-fascists will prevent these dishonest actors from doing their worst to ruin your life? It is by far the stupidest and most unhelpful position to blame the failings of the democratic position for the rise of the autocrats, when the latter are actively working to get into power.
Does an ethnostate that is carrying out a genocide as part of its program of ethnic cleansing count as fascism? Now what do you call people who supply that ethnostate with billions in weapons?
"We'll continue to take money from the Good Billionaires" - New DNC head
Both parties are owned by the wealthy, which is why you don't see Corporate democrats fighting against this shit. Their job is to make sure that if things don't go red, at least they won't go too blue. A good chunk (and the controlling collective) of the democratic party are more than happy to play the controlled opposition as they rake in your money to ensure you can't use it to meaningfully make change.
Yeah if you try to hold the democrats accountable Trump might win the election!
So I guess we are the new axis of evil.
Sorry about this guys. No hard feelings when you split us in to East/West America.
Off to make a fake wall to hide my neighbor's family from the Gesta... from ICE.
Fascists gonna fash.
The Axis of Evil Fascists.
Genociders of the world unite!!! \s
Hitler is applauding
Tad ironic after Ukraine went against the majority to not vote against Israel at the UN.
They don’t really have a choice. They have to suck up to the USA for weapons to defend themselves.
Zelensky kissed Netanyahu's ass for nothing.
Sure, it could backfire...
