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.

So wikipedia is good enough for the massacres the US perpetrated but not enough for the ones from Iran?
Wikipedia only called palestine a genocide until a year in, asshole
wikipedia articles are good for reference, not absolute truth. your link literally references the new york times as a source for the 30k figure, which is preposterous at best. it's literally the us itself claiming it.
now take a good look at the scale of both articles linked in this discussion. this number would be closer to zero if not for the us attempt to meddle.
this is not a both sided issue, and iran is not as deserving of anything as the global murderous empire. conservatives are so hard to argue with.
Oh boy... Have a good one.
and you, my dear empire pig.
LOL being called an imperial pig for pointing out that the Iranian theocratic Dictatorship aren't good guys is wild. You tankies are real special...
LOL at comparing the global fascist empire, raining death upon the world to a smallish theocracy in the middle east that mostly keeps to themselves.
we will support anti-imperialism over letting nazis divide and conquer us.
you fascists and fascist leaning libs aren't actually that special though...
Repeating the same shit doesn't make it more true. Where did I compare them? Quote me
You're more of a fascist than I am if you think a regime that suppresses the rights of women is good.
no it doesn't. what makes this true is that it is true.
not that i didn't try to explain, but if you refuse to accept this basic fact, i get why you simply won't get it. maybe you are a sheltered westerner, that'd make sense.
but hey, i can ask you to quote me where did i told you a theocracy is good, so we can play your game of no u-ing eachother.
or maybe i shouldn't bother and call this one a day. yeah i think that's what's gonna be, bye.
Nope still doesn't make it true. You know it's all in your head, right?
I never compared the US and Iran.
I never said Iran has done worse than what the US has done.
I never said I think this war is justified. (It isn't)
I have not argued for any of these things, yet you hallucinated these arguments in your head.
I simply said that the Iranian Regime are not good guys and for some reason this triggers you, which is why I guessed that you think they are good. But if you truly don't:
Do you agree that the current Iranian regime is a bad government that should eventually be put to trial for what it has done to it's own people?
