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.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

What the hell are you claiming? Greta is not in forced labor. Military blockade is a real thing, she tries to breach it, and was apprehended and deported. End of the very predictable story that went perfectly according to the plan.
you might have read the wrong rule https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gciv-1949/article-23
A) military blockade on international waters?
B) A blockade that started in 2006?
C) it's actually a warcrime for a military blockade to block aid and food.
They are at war. Rest is pretty much useless as in real life these agreements and conventions only work when the stronger party enforces it, which isn't happening here. What is written on some paper and how real life works are two very different things.
I should mention again that I'm not trying to defend Israel, just telling you the brutal truth that things written in geneva convention do not work in real life if the stronger party refuses to play by it, just like UN is often meaningless if US has veto power and does what it want, or ICC that can't do anything meaningful because states have threatened to take forceful action against them if they attempt to actually arrest someone from said country. We of course love yelling these things at countries doing shitty things, makes us feel better and puts us on the morally correct side, especially against Russia with thousands of war crimes, but what does that change if there is no one that can enforce said laws? You wanna go to russia and arrest Putin? Didn't think so. Empty words. Evil does not care about your signature.
I'm just tired of Israel finding new creative ways to commit war crimes, and we are all sudently acting like doing so was always normal.
Of course Israel gets to have a blockade... even though doing so to stop AID is a war crime.
same with how normalised every single war crime they commit, which they literally come up with names, like Dahia doctrine, mosquito protocol, where's daddy...
Fully agree. I'm just in this state of "what's the point, laws no longer work, conventions no longer work, UN is useless, etc.". At this point the only hope here is if the governments around the world en mass seriously starts getting involved, but even that is mostly word exchanges.
