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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

When it is comes to Palestine issue, why there is so many arrest??
The UK recently designate Palestine Action, a group using tactics of non violent direct actions as a "terrorist group". Palestine action activists broke into weapons factories, spraying around paint and damaging machinery used to manufacture weapons destined to Israel. They also blocked roads leading to factories or climbed on the roofs of offices of such companies.
About a month back two activists managed to break into a royal air force base and damage two transport planes used by Britain for weapon shipments to Israel.
The UK has been increasingly using "terrorism" charges to attack non violent protests. Now people are openly defying the designation of Palestine Action as a "terrorist group" by the British parliament, as it is absurd and only intended to attack civil rights, in particular the right to freedom of opinion, the right to protest, the right to privacy and the right to due process.
As any authoritarian government does, rather than reviewing this absurd decision, the British government instead decides to suppress the justified opposition to this farce.
Aside from the increasing authoritarianism, the British government has been deeply complicit in Israeli war crimes. Britain has been conducting spy-flights for Israel multiple times a day, providing intel to Israel where to bomb. Another current outrage is that the British government refuses to inform the public whether their planes recorded Israeli attacks on British citizens who worked as humanitarian helpers and were murdered by Israel. There is strong reason to believe the Britain is complicit in many war crimes and that some acts of the British government have helped the murder of their own citizens.
Old imperial powers supporting newish imperial powers
UK is pretty much responsible for the creation of Israel
Because the UK government still subscribes to the idea that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic, and therefore any support for Palestine is an anti-Semitic terrorist act.
Rhey don't really believe that, it's just an excuse for them to justify crushing palestinian liberation mouvement
It's important to stay on top of anti-Semitism because we don't want a genocide to happen like it did in the Holocaust.
Wait a minute...
Is it antisemitism to commit genocide? Is it against their religion. Don't fucking pretend to be religious in front of your peers and then kill innocent kids or kill. Look at me in front of the wailing wall praying for dead kids.
Yeah but why that?
I'd like to see a serious answer to this, please?
Why, indeed, is it that you can't criticize Israel, even though it's clearly committing genocide. you can't say "Innocent Palestinians are being murdered" or anything like it because that's "antisemitic", even though this is litert using both your eyes to see what is happening.
I'm guessing pressure from Israel? But what pressure? How do they pressure so many counties that their governments go with "can't say anything realistic about Israel!". Do they have pee tapes of all prime ministers or something?
Gotta phrase it as "military aged males 'died' during a defensive/peacekeeping operation".
Or just straight up call babies terrorists. Dealer's choice.
Because Israel is the largest money laundering operation in world history. These western governments send them “aid” with government money and in return they get a lot of “political donations” towards their “campaign”.
