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.

Wow. Is genocide fine if it doesn't include literal gas chambers? I got the bright idea to compare these genocidal maniacs to Nazis and my first instinct after that forbidden thought was to think that it might be too much to compare them to Nazi Germany. But you know what? It fucking isn't!
They still murder people directly. Those hospitals, Al Jazeera buildings, aid trucks or whatever else less newsworthy for the few who dare to be "antisemitic" and report on it didn't bomb themselves.
If I had to choose, I'd rather get gassed than starved to death. Whine not exactly painless, it's not even nearly as painful.
Not saying it is the same. Just that you can't qualified immunity your way through genocide.
- Wait, but the BIG BAD GENOCIDE had GAS CHAMBERS! We don't do that here!* - Oh, then all is forgiven 😇
- The BIG BAD also had CONCENTRATION CAMPS. Where are ours?*
- isn't the entire Strip basically a huge one? 🤔*
- The BIG BAD also had FORCED LABOR and SS GUARDS*
- Not for the kids. They got gassed on arrival in the later stages. Or those "incapable of work". Isn't everyone in Gaza incapable of work by now, what with everyone starving to death 🧐*
Again, not trying to downplay the Holocaust. However, there is one crucial differemce which makes the current genocide infinitely more actionable: it's happening now. The Holocaust ended about 80 years ago. The current one still fucking didn't.
And again, there's no qualified immunity for genocide.
They are recreating the ghettos of Poland during the Nazi occupation, like the Warsaw ghetto.
"Enjoy".
