Technically this is more US news than world news, but it's World News enough, and has enough up and down votes that I'll allow it.

Rule of thumb:

Event happening somewhere in the world outside the US? - World News.

Article about how Americans feel about an event happening in the world outside the US? - Not world news. Maybe news, maybe politics, would depend on the context.

But Americans reacting to a world event doesn't make it world news.

Noted, thanks.

So wait… lemme get this straight; the USA isn’t in the world?

The US is OUTSIDE or SEPARATE from the world.

Ok. Got it.

When it comes to world news, yes, that's correct. News exists for US news.

Glad this is an opportunity for people to see how nuanced these issues can be.

Good thing this is making more people anti-Zionist and acknowledge that criticism of Israel is not criticism of Jews.

Some American Jews. Mostly the women.

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.

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.
