A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.

Death toll is higher than 300, injured over 1200. They’re pulling bodies and survivors still. This is worse than August 4 2020. And they’re still fucking bombing!
This is senseless, savage terrorism. I think I heard over a hundred thuds in Beirut during the first hour. What the fuck is wrong with these people
Israel shouldnt exist.
I really love the bullshit "doesn't Israel have the right to exist" question, as if they care about anyone's right to exist, fuck off and cease existing yourself already Israel
Who needs Iran as their enemy when you have Israel as your „ally“.
Closing the Straight of Hormuz is ANTI SEMETIC!

Jesus christ. Now the Big Black C*cks were dragged to this war too?!
I wonder if Iran played off of Trump's ego and he promised he would get Israel on board, thereby not having to negotiate with Israel who would be the least likely to accept any terms beyond complete surrender.
Trump seems keen on wanting an out while declaring victory, especially after the special ops drop in Isfahan went wrong.
Israel will of course does not want any end to the war, so now it becomes a tussle on whether the US owns Israel or the Israel owns the US lol.
Lasted longer than I thought it would. What a shit show.
It thought it would be over by time I started work at 12h UTC
