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.

Go spread your bad Hasbara elsewhere. https://electronicintifada.net/content/debunking-lie-israel-created-hamas/51350
You accuse other news sources of being zionist propaganda and then show me an article who quotes pro-Hamas scholars. But anyway I will humor you.
The only thing this article probably accurately portrays is how Hamas originated, not how it evolved. This article can only reliably refute that Israel did not create Hamas, which also is not really my claim or the majority of wikipedia article's claim (although it does cite interviews from some Israeli officials claiming this, that is not really any proof). Empowering is not the same thing as creating. Somehow this article glosses over some of the more tangible evidences that this claim is built upon like how the Israeli military doing nothing in the 1980 riots despite them being quite trigger happy at the slightest commotion. Israel quite often stood by when the fundamentalists battled more pro-secular wings which under normal stances would be something contrary to a state which wants to "root out Islamism" from their neighborhood.
The article also says that Zionists are spreading these rumors as a cudgel to keep Nethanyahu in check, which funny enough only makes sense if there is some truth behind it so that it can actually be used as blackmail. So that makes me believe that Israeli state supported Hamas even more. You can also have a look at this related article if you are actually reading anything I am putting here
That article quoting pro-hamas scholars as evidence is the same as me quoting a nationalist Israel news article as a source. Atleast I try to keep my sources varied. Also I am sure you can see the circular logic in calling the act of accusing Israel of actually funding instability in the region and using that as a casus belli for genocide a "Hasbara". How does that even help Israel? Israel has been using all its PR apparatus to convince the rest of the world that they are the "good guys", this goes completely against that.
That is a lot of words to say you are a Zionist.
Yeah we have reached the end of your capabilities go keep repeating the same things until infinity like a good little bot, I won't be here.
