I love that these lads from my humble city of Belfast have caused such a storm on the global stage standing up against genocide. They're on the right side of history.

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.

MODERATORS
Kneecap are fucking awesome
"Israel's self-defense against terrorism" IS TERRORIZING/MURDERING CIVILIANS
"The newborn child I just shot in the head was Hamas"
Turning children into powder.
That’s some serious editorialising in that there blurb.
It's pretty messed up that an American company owns canada.com
the government of Canada owns Canada.ca, which is the better link here anyways
If Canada owns Canada then who is phone?
How can you go wrong with a newspaper called The Narwhal?
Sun is a right wing rag owned by Americans
Canadian journal is going to have a Canadian spin.
You won't believe how many pro genocide is there on my neighbourhood facebook group alone. I should remind you that canada allowed the selling of land in occupied west bank in synagogues
Funny. Canada's supoort of genocide is a dangerous endorsement of violence and hate.
Have they banned Turning Point USA, too?
No. I think they're going to build Charlie Kirk one of those big animatronic memorials.
This all ends in violence.
The violence has been ongoing for years. Decades.
Well, depending how you mean it never stopped. States exist through their monopoly on violence.
We didn't start the fire
World wide. We can only hope the sun explodes.
Kneecap member Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, 27, faces terrorism charges after reportedly waving the flag of Lebanese terror group Hezbollah at a show in London last November.
A 2024 performance reportedly caught a group member cheering “Up Hamas, Up Hezbollah.”
Well that was stupid.
Folks will panic at the sight of the wrong flag, while wearing the Union Jack on a breast pocket without an ounce of self-awareness
You’ll forgive the Irish in Northern Ireland for believing that some people won’t be treated as human beings without a bit of violence first.
These headlines with a snippet of an unattributed quote mashed together with an actual headline are starting to rival "X person DESTROYS Y person by saying Z" for the most aggravating writing style.
