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.

Yeah I guess it's fine when Israel fucks with Lebanon
The Houthis are a large group controlling a big area of Yemen, but not the official government of Yemen. So if the Houthis enter a conflict, that’s not the same as the government of Yemen doing so. But Israel is trying to equate the two. They’re basically saying “Yemeni government, we hold you responsible, we think the Houthis are your proxy.”
So this accusation is not so much about the mere act of entering the conflict, itself, and more about WHO has actually entered it.
A comparison might be if Hezbollah carries out an attack, that’s not necessarily the recognized Lebanese government doing it. But Israel will blame them anyway, if for not other reason than to accuse them of not doing enough to stop it. This comparison is quite apt because both Hezbollah and the Houthis are well aligned with and funded by Iran.

They're not the de jure government, that is, the one with international recognition, but they are essentially the de-facto government. They control the capital, and the most populous half of the Country.
Or of Hamas attacks Israel, then Israel ahsnjistbartack d Israel. Obviously, this doesn't apply to any countries that recognise the state or Palestine. Israel does not.
Stop hitting yourself meme here.
It's projection. As Israel has a terrorist group that's also the government they think everyone else has the same relation.
Hey Israelis, if you don't want wars to escalate, don't start wars.
Oop full-scale regional conflict. Who could have seen this one coming
Not to mention, Afghanistan and Pakistan are at war with each other too 🙃
They have been for a while but still
The sooner Netanyahu and his wife are in prison, the sooner everything can start healing
Why are we blaming netanyahu specifically? If anything he's part of the moderates in israel, the whole country is ravenous
Lol
Death to America
Death to Israel
Are we going to see blockade in the red sea too?
So every ship has to go around all of Africa? RIP every supply chain
Except for Spanish ships😁
And Chinese, Indian, ...
I've seen a professor predict this.
Is it Jiang?😒
Yes, couldn't remember the name.
Well...
...this is going about as well as you'd expect from two war leaders who are qualified only to be TV show hosts.
Who this? New war
Thr moment US boots hit the ground, WWIII has begun.
i disagree... i think it will be another vietnam
Vietnam didn't have a massive effect on global trade that affects every economy on earth. The longer it goes on, the more major players will want to bring it to a swifter conclusion. It won't be a multi decade slog between a handful of countries, but a Great War that drags dozens of nations into it. It's a mini World War, not a forever war like Afghanistan. It'll only turn into another Vietnam if America tries to nation build, and I think America giving up and going home with Iran in shambles is far more likely.
