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.

I'm starting to think that these Israelites might not be the good guys.
... but they're in the bible, and Christians are in the Bible, and Christians are like Jesus, and Jesus is good, so they must be good, right?
Netanyahu is a piece of shit. But many many Israelis tried desperately not to elect Netanyahu for a solid four years.

This comment is whitewashing Israeli society, which is a religious supremacist society that views all other religions as subhuman. Netanyahu is not the problem, every PM before him has done unspeakable war crimes in an ongoing 79 years ethnic cleansing and colonization of Palestine on the bases of religious supremacy. It's a sick society that sets up camping chairs on hilltops and boat tours to watch bombs be dropped on children, that breaks our into violent protests demanding the release of admitted rapists, who urinate on Christian and Muslim holy sites and spit on and regularly attack what they call "Arabs", who drive on separate roads with a special license plate based on religion, who have it enshrined in their law that only Jews can have self determination.
There are no good Israles nudt ike their are no good Americans. It is the one bad apple spoils the barrel thing.
Yet the longest lasting coalition government in the past decade is this recent one under Bibi, and even the alternative to Bibi, Yair Lapid, calls for genocide
Israeli population overwhelmingly support occupation, apartheid and genocide. It's not just Netanyahu. Maybe a dozen Israelis are serious about ending occupation, tops
I think they're speaking generally, not every single Israeli.
I like to think I'm one of the good Americans, but we are absolute dog shit in general, a country that doesn't deserve to exist based on religious delusion and racism.
