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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Trying to imagine them asking this of Ukraine.
Apart from both being the attacked ones, they have not much in common.
Not true. Israel and russis has very similar talking points
Because Ukraine was allowed some level of sovereignty after the Sovjet Union collapsed, whereas Palestinians have been denied sovereignty ever since the British and French carved up the carcass of the Ottoman empire.
Just your friendly reminder that Hamas != Palestinians.
Right now Hamas and other armed groups are the only ones preventing Israel from the total extermination of all Palestinians in Gaza.
If it wasn't for the armed resistance, Israeli soldiers wouldn't rely on using food to bait starving people into the fire of the death squads. Without armed resistance they could just go house to house.
But also over the past two decades. Without armed resistance in Gaza, Israel wouldn't have stopped annexing Gaza with settlements. Only because the resistance made that too costly, Israel abandoned its settlements and turned Gaza into an open air prison instead.
You are right, that Palestinians are not equal to Hamas. As the supporters of Israels like the US and most Europeans always helped Israels in its crimes, rather than stopping them, armed resistance is the only lifeline for the Palestinian people.
Sure but hamas is more popular than the palestinian autority, most palestinians do not support hamas dropping arms

Yeah, but people are desperate and die of hunger.
So tell the west to stop selling weapons and impose state level sanctions. Israel said it won't stop the war after hostages are released. The israeli governmemt is determined to do it's final solution
Trying to imagine them asking this of Russia.
Disarming russia and israel would be cool. Ukraine and palestine should not drop arms till they are safe from occupation
Much easier, as NATO's been gunning for that for decades
