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.

Anyone want to tell the opinion writer that the number 1 Epstein Client who has made everyone his enemy is not the best ally?
Seriously in all likelihood Israel is fucked in the long term should a war with Iran actually happen
Well if your even slightly religious or know the Bible in general. I am not, but this is making me reconsider. his peace board sounds awfully like the covenant talked about in revelation, Daniel, and theologians.
Now billionaires generally don't like being told no and for $5 billion they probably want some return on their investment. Alot of these wanting to join don't get along. So let's say they actually announce a peace deal of about 7 years Bible says that lasts only about 3.5
There were already legit concerns about him being a biblical antichrist
It sounds all absurd honestly but sadly the Born Again Christan Nationalists are in the government so wouldn't shock me that is the logic being followed.
I would argue that is exactly why Netanyahu is pushing for war on Iran. Netanyahu needs Israel to be a Pariah state maimed by cataclysmic war in order for his own legitimacy not to collapse, not that Netanyahu is the sole villain here by any stretch but it is always worth underlining as you have that this will only hurt jews and make them forever less safe while the true driving culprit of fascism gets off scot free, jews having served as a convenient scape goat for the world's learned helplessness to fail to evolve and have a more nuanced conversation about colonialism, capitalism and xenophobia yet again.
The story Netanyahu is writing here practically demands the audience say "Blame the Jews!" in a way that offends me deeply and I am not even Jewish, I just find it a disgusting betrayal of a religion practiced by a good portion of the earth with a complex history. This is the kind of evil that can only be done by a small handful of tiny men spending great amounts of effort to lay the architecture for genocide, though complicity extends deeply, irrevocably throughout Israeli society at this late stage of systematic violence of course.
I mean did he try the whole “only I can protect Israel from Hamas” only for that to backfire when Hamas did its bold breakout and Raid operation?
I mean normally that causes a rally round the Flag but in Netanyahu’s case people rallied around wanting him out of office (kind of, he is still holding the plurality but polling put Israel going back to the unstable Kaneset and the Arab Israeli parties sitting as the king makers)
