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.

Your attempt to whitewash the Israeli invasion of Lebanon (brutal enough that even Reagan told them to dial it down) was not missed.
Are Israel's near-daily ceasefire violations and its occupation of Lebanese territory reason enough?
Part of the ceasefire deal was Hezbollah disarming and staying north of the Litani river. Instead, they rearmed and rebuilt. Why would you only focus on the Israeli side of the ceasefire?
Because only Israeli violations fucking kill people wth is this question? Also I like how you ignored the bit about occupying Lebanese territory.
These conditions are there to prevent them from killing more people.
If you're referring about the war of '82 I assume you have either a very, very onesided or a very, very rudimentary view on that part of history. And even then: after that war ended 40 years ago, why would you want Hezbollah to restart it? Who does it help to keep this going?
And/or defend themselves the next time Israel comes knocking. Their occupation of more Syrian territory in 2025 certainly doesn't inspire confidence.
No I'm referring to Shebaa Farms and the outposts they refused to leave in Southern Lebanon after the ceasefire, but yeah the Israeli invasion of '82 too.
But apparently, Israel does not come a knockin' as long as they don't initiate the hostilities. They attacked Israel in 2023 as a sign of support for the attack from Hamas. They still have the goal of destroying Israel and creating an Islamic state instead. Jordan and Egypt accepted that they have a jewish state (with all the history), they don't attack them and they don't get attacked in return. This last concept seems to be something that Hezbollah struggles with on a fundamental level. They feel like they should be allowed to support and partake in the destruction of Israel themselves as much as they want, but any single missile flying back is an absolute breach of human rights and international law...
Shebaa Farms and Syrian territory (you can add the Golan Heights as well, sixty years ago) are interesting to mention.
For starters, the Shebaa Farms area was contested between Syria and Lebanon even without Israel. You could say that it was demographically part of Lebanon that was 'seized' by Syria through lobbying in much the same way as large parts of Palestine were 'seized' by Israel in the partition plan for Palestine. Sure you could say that it should belong to either of those two and not Israel, but then what are you basing everything off anyway?
Secondly, there's a disparity between what we were taught as children in that there are fixed borders between countries where you see a sign and people speak a different language, have different licence plates etc. and people get along and that's how things are and always will be... And reality where countries were shaped through wars and natural boundaries.
If your enemy has attacked you twice from an advantageous hillside position and you manage to beat them back, sometimes with great losses, it might not be unwise to take those hills from them. It might be advantageous to beat them back behind a river and keep your side occupied. First as a buffer zone, and then after a few years you have a castle, fields, a village etc. . Of course I don't know which country you're from but if you study the history of how its borders were formed, there's a big chance they are the result of the same violent reasons that you now feel are in breach of you childish view (meant in the positive sense - see above) that taking that hill or river bank are capital sins.
You're a terrible human being and I hope a fascist throws you into a concentration camp. Goodbye.
I think you're a terrible human being by choosing to take the easy route and not trying to understand these conflicts.
I hope you live a happy life and the world gets better
