What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Well it's like Chief Wiggum saying "I heard there were some crimes in New York" "Oh you admit there's crimes in New York? That makes you guilty!"

Crimes happen in every city. Crimes also happen in every war. Recognizing that crimes happen in war time has the same significance as recognizing the fact that crimes happen in cities. Feeling like you "got 'em!" because of the existence of crime puts you on the same level as Chief Wiggum. It's really silly.

Also I need to remind you, holding civilians hostage is a war crime. Hamas has committed a continuous war crime since October 7. Do you go out and protest Hamas? Why not?

Funny you don't see the irony of that actually being your argument.

Do you go out and protest Hamas?

What a ridiculous question. The vast majority of governments have made their feelings about Hamas very clear. Do you go out and protest crime?

Police brutality is a crime. Do you think it's ridiculous to protest that?
