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.

Yeah. But also people who are not are contesting it somewhat. E.g. brit government.
Brit gov is part of it:

There are many more examples but these are the most obvious.
Supplying arms is not actively redrawing borders or starting a conflict. Profiteering might still be bad.
Providing intelligence is taking ACTIVE part in the genocide. Your comment claimed that UK government does not. Profiteering IS bad, you should remove the "might".
I haven't talked about borders or the start of the conflict, you are confusing threads/users. But if you mention it to me, you should read about The Balfour Declaration
The UK started the fucking genocide by giving away land that was not theirs to an entire religion/ethnic group who hadn't been more than a minority in the region in all of recorded history.
Everyone denying the genocide is complicit or bought.
You are mental.
The UK did not redistribute land to Jerusalem this millennium. Claiming borders and deeds of old to justify (military) action is a book out of a warmongers playbook.
What does the turning of the millennium have to do with it? We're still talking within a single person's lifetime....
The active current genocide started in 23. The UK did not redraw borders to trigger it. It was triggered by a terror attack. Some have considered the attack inevitable due to continued oppression and border fences. Public opinion in Israel also does not appear to be influenced by the British.
You are clearly the mentally-ill one. Displaying it for all to read.
Their suffering is meaningfully different from pre 23. Claiming nothing started is discounting the substantial portion of dead Palestines.
let's start with the easy one: this is completely irrelevant. public opinion is largely worthless and means nothing.
it started in the 1940s, arguably earlier.
the very first thing that happened in the region was Palestinians being expelled from their own land in order to make way for the zionist regime.
that's how Palestinian oppression started, and it's the reason the situation got so bad in the first place.
it got much, much worse in '23, but that's not the start at all.
no, it was the other way around; ongoing genocide triggered the terrorist attack.
and more importantly:
is this supposed to mean that genocide can be justified? is that what you're saying?
gee, i wonder how that oppression started in the first place... certainly couldn't have been the british! they'd never meddle in the middle east for colonialist reasons!
well...except in afghanistan....and iraq...and syria...and egypt...wait, how long is this list anyway?
could the british empire be responsible for most of the clusterfuck that is the current middle east, by having drawn completely arbitrary lines on maps more than a century ago, which were deliberately designed to fence in diverse ethnic communities, with the explicit goal of suppressing the local populations by putting them in a constant state of unresolvable armed conflict in order to ensure instability in the region and as a result keeping education and living standards low, thus guaranteeing cheap oil for the foreseeable future by making it trivial to install dictatorships across the region?
...are you for fucking real?
(hawara, du saufst den lack aber auch im liter pack...)
The British empire would not have existed if the Romans had not colonised England, so technically this is all Italy's fault.
that fucking fish should have stayed in the ocean, where it belongs!!
or, alternatively:
Placing blame on entities that don't exist anymore is silly. Italy didn't even exist back then, so this makes your statement even more convoluted.
The current invasion of Gaza was preceded by relative peace. You not liking Israel has been made to exist is fine. Does not change the facts, that Jewish people live in in Israel, policy changed substantially at that point, and so did public opinion in Israel.
A trigger is not a justification. A trigger does not justify genocide. A trigger is just a trigger. You read too much between the lines. Sometimes a sunrise is just a sunrise.
fucking peace.
no, you dum-dum:
just because YOU, personally, haven't been reading, hearing, or seeing the perpetual violence against Palestinians (and muslims in general) in and around isreal, doesn't mean it just appeared out of thin air, like you are suggesting.
well, not suggesting... you're straight up lying.
you are using your own ignorance as basis of fact.
YOU are unaware of the hostilities happening, so you assume they DIDN'T happen. which is wrong.
this genocide didn't just suddenly happen, it's been going on for decades. it's simply been a much slower process before (except for all the times in-between when it wasn't slow at all, but I'm not about to copy-paste half o wikipedia. look it up if you don't want to be ignorant), which makes no difference.
a genocide, by definition, is not bound to a certain timeframe; when a people is eradicated deliberately, it doesn't matter at all how long that process took.
Palestinians have been under direct attack for almost century now. that entire time is a continuous state of genocide.
What a loser comment,
Relative peace to you and your Zionist friends.
they are literally destroying people home, killing their sheep, rape them in prison, and stealing their body parts, and soon death penalty to anyone resists. Along with continuous killing.
I am not in favor of killing the Palestinians. It is factual to say that the rate of death and humans rights violations did sharply change after the terror attack on that concert. So did the amount of tanks in Gaza. You cannot say that nothing changed or started from that.
It isIch vermute, dass die Geschichtsbücher in Ihrem Land Ihnen ein falsches Bild von der Entstehung des Staates Israel vermittelt haben. Nach dem Selbstmord von 88 und der Kapitulation Deutschlands wurden die vertriebenen Juden von Europa nach dort verschifft, England und ein Lord sind die Hauptursache für die Probleme, die seit 1946 entstanden sind
English is my 4 language ,so screw yourself
In what way does this force you to use bad German? And why does this mean you must self censor?
