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.

This is disgusting. The Zionists are bombing Iran and this is your reaction? Why are you running propaganda for the Zionists?
How is this propaganda? The iranian government literally killed thousands of students who were protesting in the streets only a few weeks ago.
Guys, guys. Chill.
Both of these countries are killing their own civilian population. But now one of them is also killing the other country's population as well. Probably soon to be joined by the other doing the same in return.
Let me just be the anarchist in the room and say fuck both of these countries. Fuck every country. We shouldn't have countries. And we especially shouldn't have countries that kill people, no matter which side of an imaginary line they're killing people on.
One of these countries is defending its civilian population against US bombs, the other is dropping them, don't both sides this shit because Iran isn't perfect.
I'm not trying to 'both sides' this shit as much as I'm trying to 'no sides' this shit.
Yes, have you seen literally any time the US has gone to war anywhere in the last 80 years? We can't even invade Panama or abduct the president of Venezuela without murdering hundreds to thousands of civilians.
Please don't form your opinion basing on false information.

From the article:
This would include soldiers and bodyguards.
Truth.
Israel has murdered at least 21,000 CHILDREN over the past 30 months. To think that they have any moral standing is moronic at best, but more likely pure evil.
You're referring to confirmed violent deaths. The number of victims including food deprivation, lack of medicine and sanitation and consequent diseases since Oct 7th is above half a million, about half of them children.
Yes, I'm only referencing deaths attributed to direct military action - or the IDF's direct murder of children with bullets and bombs. This is not to minimize the horror they have inflicted through genocidal policy.
Yeah, I wasn't trying to be belligerent or anything, just wanted to bring attention to it. Thanks for your reminder of the violence of the Zionist entity, we will not forget this
Nope, I didn't take it as belligerence either, just wanted to confirm I agree.
...and the sky is blue. But how is this propaganda? How is invading another country, propaganda for zionists?
I think they mean that you can't fully trust the narrative about protests you read in the Western media. There is Israeli and US involvement in those protests trying to instigate regime change.
So the OP above is parroting Israeli/US propaganda by saying the protests are a justification for the latest military action.
Making a statement that minimizes state violence because it's against a state that undertakes state violence is still minimizing state violence. In this instance it is minimizing the violence of a genocidal state that is far more violent than the state it is attacking for undertaking state violence.
So Israel and the United States are going to respond by murdering the rest of them? You do know that they bomb indiscriminately correct? I just don't understand your argument here. If you're concerned about civilian deaths how could you be supportive of this. They literally bomb hospitals.
Literal "Hamas is hiding in hospitals" levels of hasbara
Well in this case, Casey is literally an LLM bot so it's probably propaganda. Check their modlog.
And your source for that is CIA, right
Ever heard of Palestinians? Gaza? No?
You said they are promoting not slaughtering civilians, while they are slaughtering civilians.
Hmmm 🤡
Zionists are dropping bombs on their population. Iran is defending against Israel and America.
too drunk to think?"
