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.

I hope it goes better for them this time.
It won't. But they know that; and they know the risks. On the contrary, they know it will likely be worse than last time.
Short of Yemen (Barak Allah) these are the only direct actions to stop the blockaid on Gaza. An entire world watching as a live streamed genocide occurs.
Yemen and these flotillas will be written about in history as historians analyze why so little was done to stop a genocide.
History is written by the victors, but i hope you're right.
the digital age is throwing a wrench in these well established ideas, it's extremely easy to disseminate information, and i imagine it will be even easier, even if they won't learn about things in the school
It's also easy to disseminate disinformation.
The western Imperialist empire will fall. We won't live to see what is built from the ashes of it though. But I have faith long term that the third world will be liberated and the history of class struggle will be written.
Palestine may not be free today. But it's people and their struggle have given strength to all oppressed people of the world. They and all people that support their struggle are an example of the good of humanity that will always exist to struggle for all people's liberation.
I know. But I still hope.
Well if they make it into Gaza then the likelihood they survive decreases dramatically, but I hope their journey is as successful as it is noble
Why? You’re not implying Gazans mean them harm are you? I know more than one family that would lay down their lives to defend people like this. They’re not idiots. They absolutely understand the optics and global importance of this style of activism.
I definitely understood their comment as "Israel claims everyone in Gaza as Hamas, so they're more likely to die from a random airstrike than they are at sea"
Ok. I hope that’s the case. I don’t mean to be defensive. It just seems that’s often the implication with these kind of remarks.
Definitely the case, sorry for not being more clear
I'm hoping they can avoid the terror and death that Israel is wreaking on so many civilians and journalists
I reread it and I think I was just triggered and my brain skipped the whole picture. That was my mistake. I’m used to navigating more hostile online environments.
No worries 😊
They have shot at Reuters and killed a guy, when they knew that they were known to them. They knew about that Reuters crew for days. Then they killed them.
LOL no it was completely made up. Everybody they shoot is hamas, regardless of if they have identified them or not.
I mean let’s not forget the World Central Kitchen Workers. They’ll use the same pattern they always do whether aid workers, hospitals, schools, medical staff or journalists:
Ooof yes
I mean they had no problem killing non-palestinan reporters and aid workers so what makes you think they'll care about Greta or any blowback. Greta is already demonized by right leaning news sources.
No lol once they are inside Israel borders that's going to be an airstrike from the IDF for sure.
Edit oh next guy said already
They´re basically donating food and medicine to the IDF
Thr cost of the flotilla is alot less expensive thrn the operation to intercept them, kidnap them and bringing back to their countries
