Remember the time when pardon was a complete humiliation that followed you for the rest of your life, because you basically admitted your guilt. What a time we are living.
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.

A pardon? Those things you get when you definitely committed the crime in question? Significant implications, indeed.
Absolutely. Just do the following first...
- Officially apologize to every Palestinian family for every life lost in decades of conflict.
- Fully dismantle all settlements built on occupied land and return every home, school, and farm.
- Compensate for every square meter of land taken, including lost income and cultural sites.
- Ensure full and unrestricted access to Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, with reparations for every blockade-induced hardship.
- Return all property confiscated during evictions or military operations.
- Admit and make amends for every instance of detention, displacement, or imprisonment without due process.
- Rebuild all destroyed homes, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.
- Recognize all refugee claims and fund safe, dignified resettlement or return.
- Fully acknowledge and compensate for the psychological trauma suffered by generations.
- Publicly commit to ending all military occupation and systemic discrimination permanently.
- Implement complete equality in law, services, and political representation for all Palestinians.
- Renounce any historic narratives that justify oppression and commit to truthful education about past wrongs.
- Fund and actively support the creation of a fully sovereign, functional, and internationally recognized Palestinian state.
- Lead and finance the complete rebuilding of Gaza, including infrastructure, housing, healthcare, and education, to meet modern standards.
Fuck you, Bibi.
Never forget that Netanyahu allowed the Oct 7th attack to happen so he could use it as an excuse to scare congress into letting him declare martial law so he didn't have to go to prison.
Every single Israli and Palestinian that has died as a result of this conflict since the attack, has their blood on Netanyahu's hands.
yup. his only chance at avoiding consequences is to stay in power as a wartime president.
this is why the ceasefire isn't a ceasefire. I hope Israel does better but..... not holding my breath.
If we had done better with trump in 2016 or j6th none of this shit would have happened.
Give him a Capital punishment for the mass murder of the Gaza people

The president said there is no innocent civilians in Gaza
Sounds like an accomplice to me.
Children's are innocent
Not according to Israel
Time to wake up the world ,keep it on the news

Bro they've ran over Americans with bulldozers, they do not care and the us won't back out because their intelligence assets in Israel are worth multiple trillions USD.
Maybe Trump will try to pardon him. He thinks he has the authority to close the airspace over a foreign country, he probably thinks he has the power to pardon anyone in the world
Grant it. Make it bluntly obvious for anyone still believing "The only democrcy in the Middle East" slogan.
"Lots of people think I am corrupt and using martial law to not get punished, which is dividing the country. Please say that I am a good boy and that I am above the law to fix that. BTW: you have to do it; you don't want a divided nation in this atmosphere we created purposefully to give me this leverage and extra power, do you?"
A terrorist asking another to pardon him
who is the cause of that "momentous change in the region", i wonder
