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.

Not everything has to do with ~~America~~ Palestine
If you think the U(K)SA & Germany are the only complicit countries, I have a bridge for sale, etc.
Dude, this has nothing to do with middle east. What did even France or Italy do for you to call them genocide-buddies and how would Canada be mixed up in this? Why are you insulting so many countries and people?
Close ~~reddit~~ lemmy and touch grass
You’ve been corrected on this already. Both entities are responsible in part for what is opening in Palestine. How can you possibly not be aware of that?
The question is about how is that relevant to multiple countries veto'ing the associate aggreement
It is not the question. It’s your question.
Countries vetoing this agreement are complicit in genocide currently and historically. Countries like that collaborating is not a good thing.
Ask anyone appealing to these governments to stop facilitating genocide. They use their interrelationships to point to each other and shirk responsibility. It’s a very big problem.
Naah, I think it's because those countries historically were involved in slave trade. I think slave trade is the real reason diplomacy in Europe is't going smooth. And no, you cannot ask me why as that is not the question, you cannot deny that slaves didn't exist so it all fits
This is how you sound like. I'm not even continuing this.
There is a genocide happening today. You seem to be happy to talk about anything but that.
There are more slaves in modern times than historically.
I thought you were finished.
I just read your profile. You’re a genocide apologist. That explains how dedicated you are to being obtuse!
I think you should learn to read then since you failed (shit, I even have a profile description going into that, how did you miss it?). I meant not continuing the topic, but at this point I'm just ridiculing you.
France and Canada both supply weapons to Israel. While Italy backed off new arms shipments they are still providing supplies AKA material support for genocide.
So inconvenient to bring up genocide, I know.
But why are you bringing up Palestine war instead of Ukraine war, which is far deadlier and actually affects countries in this article? That one affects Europe much more directly, including the talks about Ukraine also becoming an associate member, just like Canada?
In other words - why the hell are you talking about Palestine under this article and then even claiming "so inconvenient to bring up genocide" while not even inconvenient, just really, really random
I didn't bring this up, OP of this thread did. You commented and I commented. It is called a conversation. No one is forcing you to get "off topic" if that is really what you believe.
I honestly did not see where OP brought it up, article does not mention it and OP's body text does not either.
Fair enough.
This does though
Nope, you're wrong.
