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 pure evil. The Jewish god is a monster...fortunately he does not exist. Believe what you want, but for me, this is proof that atheism is the correct choice...because this evil is committed in the name of the Jewish god...who is also the Christian and Muslim god...If you're Muslim, then the Zionists are telling you that your god sanctions this against you - because they knew him first (invented him, actually). If you're Christian, then the Zionists are telling you that your god wants this, so shut up and let it be...or he won't send his son back to free you from your Earthly burdens. I believed in god for over 50 years of my life. This sick shit finally proved to me that god is a lie, because if god was real and as loving as I was taught, then he would be livid at these acts. I guess Christians can soothe their conscience with "what you do to the least of these..."
I find that god cannot exist while simultaneously allowing atrocities to be enacted in his name. If you disagree, that's fine...but for me, even if god once existed...humankind killed him with their ingrained wickedness.
The whole "all brown people are religious extremists" was a propoganda is what makes me mad.
We were always told Palestinians are all fighting in the name of God. Turns out they were just defending themselves from Israel.
Ok, but before you get too high on that horse, it's worth pointing out that plenty of the most violent Zionists have themselves been atheist, secular Jews.
Most of Zionism's progenitors were basing their ideology around fascistic race science of the time. Not on any God-Belief. They believed that European Jews, by virtue of being a diaspora, were a degraded culture that could only be regenerated through colonizing a new homeland for themselves.
To this day, Israel treats non-European Jews incredibly poorly (still not as bad as Palestinians though), regardless of how culturally or religiously dedicated they are, because Zionism is an ideology of ethnic supremacy more than anything else.
I think most American Zionists are nominally Christians. Which makes the whole business of equating Zionism with Judaism even more laughable.
Israel is not committing genocide because they are Jewish, they are doing it because they are an arm of the western capitalist oligarchy and maintaining imperialist power in the Middle East is essential for controlling the global trade in oil.
The God of the Bible/Tanakh would be totally fine with this. Hell, for fifty bucks He will let you do all of this AND then marry the kid. Or kill it, whatever really.
This is also because of the thousands of tribes that were told they were the chosen ones, this is the one that survived until today.
none of this is done for religous readons. so don't be retarded
How would you ever know?
All of the religions involved are totally fine with this, they've been doing this and much worse for many centuries.
If one chooses the fantasy, then everything else is secondary, even morality grounded in physical reality. If you can be convinced there's an invisible spirit who wants you to stone people, then you can be convinced it's OK to torture babies.
As the Christians say - no one can serve two masters. This can't be fixed without addressing the disease.
This response is exactly what the fanatics point at when you criticize Israel and they conflate that with antisemitism.
Atheism isn't ever really someone's choice. People who are atheist simply replace the "role" that god would have in their life with something else, be it devoutness to science, music, arts, their job, their favorite politician, whatever. Atheism is an absence of a god contruct in the world view of a person. The choice of an atheist is whatever else motivates them in life.
Your claim is incorrect!
God doesn't fill any "role", friend. Thousands of years of history around the globe prove that you are fundamentally wrong.
History isn't proof of any god. Rather, of a human need. Gods were invented all over human history. Some have lots of arms, some are blue.
