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.

oh so same as Hamas when they were in Israel then?
Hamas killed 10,000 children in 5 months? Israel did.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war
“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.”
https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/t%C3%AAte-%C3%A0-t%C3%AAte/20241029-us-doctor-claims-israeli-snipers-target-child-in-gaza-no-child-gets-shot-twice-by-mistakea
"The doctor went on to claim that Israeli snipers are deliberately shooting children in Gaza, citing his observation of two children who were shot twice. "No child gets shot twice by mistake," he said.
"Metadata proves it was real," Perlmutter added, referencing a recent article published by The New York Times detailing the harrowing experiences of doctors in Gaza such as himself."
"October 7th was genocide" is an utterly ridiculous statement in its own right, but also the child casualty rate in October 7th was 3%. Any number of dead children is too much, but still that's the literal opposite of "deliberately targeting children.
Really?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_genocide_in_the_October_7_attacks
Hamas are stabbing babies and you guys are like, oh they didn't TARGET them, they were just in the way of Hamas who were politely trying to rape and kill everyone in their sight
Yes. I read that page and it is utterly ridiculous.
Keyword "were said." See below.
No. Hope you'll stop spreading Israeli propaganda now.
Jeez another one thinking this is good vs evil.
Just another one sniffing its own farts thinking they smell like intellect
Israel is a genocidal terrorist colonizer entity, no matter how you spin it.
Never said it isn't
You did imply it however, you quite literally proposed "it takes two to tango" logic on a pretty clear case.
Do you also like to make comments on what the rape victims where wearing?
🤣 i’m not your personal reality check, go do your own research
I have no idea why you tried to fact check me on something I never mentioned
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20231215-israel-social-security-data-reveals-true-picture-of-oct-7-deaths
You should use Hamas’ line, those 36 kids were secret IDF members!
last post on this
Since you are the one so abhorred by the deaths of children and the deaths of 36 on October 7th can you use the same logic to demonise Israel. Israel has murdered at the lowest estimate 20,000 and the upper end 50,000 Palestinian children. This means Israel has murdered 555-1389 times the amount of children that Hamas has.
When you are slaughtering children at hundreds to thousands of times the rate of a terrorist organisation like Hamas to the tune of 10s of thousands of children how do you and the "moral" IDF not stop and ask yourselves, "are we the baddies?"
You absolutely are.
And…. Silence from the Zionist. The most beautiful music in the world.
Speaking of beautiful music this banger got recommended to me recently:

😂
Sorry last response now 😅
You have given us the answer to the "are we the baddies" question at least. Your morals clearly lie in the dirt like the rest of the Zionists. The video is just as unfunny as republican humour in the states, punching down at the oppressed, never good comedy.
What comforts me is the knowledge that Israel is unsustainable in the long term, utterly reliant on the support of a notoriously fickle USA. The recent New York election has seen all of the candidates backed by Mamdani winning against Zionists. Being a Zionist is now poison in US elections. If America withdraws support for Israel, Israel is suddenly surrounded by all of the counties it has been bombing and attacking. Israel is massively outnumbered.
The only music then will be, From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
Last post my ass.
I guess it was my fault for expecting intellectual honesty from a Zionist.
That didn't happen, so that would be a 'no'.
Hamas didn't kill kids in Israel? That'd be news to all the dead babies they stabbed
Found the filthy zio.
Do you think this United Nations report is bullshit? Do you think they are conspiring against the fair nation of Israel? 😭
tbh I didn't read it... tbf no one else does either
You don’t have to read it… do you think the news reporting on it is bullshit? I just want to know, are you saying the entirety of UN is lying to besmirch Israel?
You've put more effort into your comment than I did this post, lets just leave it there :)
No, let's expand on this. You drop in, say something that is clearly rage bait (or you have the moral compass of an evil goose) and expect what? No interaction?
“It was just a joke bro” is the defense you’re going for while promoting genocide this time?
Here is the report by the way: https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/hrbodies/hrcouncil/sessions-regular/session62/a-hrc-62-crp-2.pdf
And here is the UN Human Rights Council press release that links to it: https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2026/06/israel-continues-commit-genocide-and-other-atrocity-crimes-deliberately?sub-site=HRC
Here are the people who make up the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel : https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/hrc/coiopt-israel/commissioners
Not that you care, seeing your inflammatory trollish behaviour here and the fact that you moderate a community that has as Rule 1 "No Further Gaza/Israel war posts".
But if anyone stumbles upon this, here are the actual receipts.
