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.

What does Israel think of all the women they raped and killed then? And what does it think of children too, since they killed more children then any other country in 2024?
Gtfo with your Zionist talking points
Where is my love for the Israeli state? I believe all peaceful people should be allowed to live, and there are lots of peaceful people in Gaza and the West Bank and Israel/Judea whatever you want to call the place. Nationalists over there are not peaceful.
Are you aware that Hamas is the only reason people in Palestine have water and electricity?
I’ll say it again, you're just using Zionist talking points. And it takes a special kind of entitled person to tell a group of people being ethnically cleansed how they should act and how they should be "mOrE pEacEfUl" while being the victims of genocide
I think the people of Palestine should implement a state like Kurdistan and abandon their ties with Hamas. I support Hamas as much as I support any government who kills innocents in the name of jihad or any other "struggle". Same with the Israeli government. I support them as much as I support Hamas. I support the people of Judea/Israel/whatever you want to call that hunk of land more than I support any of their governments.
I'll post my (edited) comment again for all to see since the mods thought it was too uncivil in its previous version.
And how exactly are they supposed to do any of that while being bombed? Or while Israel doesn't allow them to leave their internment areas? Or while dismissing any ceasefire proposal? What you're saying is impossible because Israel doesn't want it to happen. And I find gross how in all of this you keep putting the blame on Hamas instead of Israel, the one with the money, power and influence in all of this
So to you being the victims of a genocide is just another "struggle". Thanks for making clear to us the kind of person you are. You're definitely not the victim of Zionist propaganda /s. But sarcasm aside, I’ll stop interacting with you now. There is only so much victim-blaming I can stomach in a day
My goodness, I'm just trying to have a level head here? I have never supported Hamas, before or after October 7th. I very much remember their suicide bombings of busses. Do I excuse the IRA during the troubles? No. Fuck the IRA, but I don't disagree with their plight. I agree that the Irish people deserve their land. Same with the people in Gaza and the West Bank. I hate the British empire as much as I hate the Israeli state. I hate Hamas as much as I hate the IRA.
