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.

ok? i didn’t realise you were trying so hard, why do you feel the need to convince me of anything? we’re chatting on a forum not fighting on the front line
im also more than capable of coming to my own opinions on things, i’ve never changed my mind after 80 left wing progressives hounded me into submission, just like 80 conservatives can’t hound me into saying that being gay is a bad thing no matter how many “science facts” they throw at me
while i can see israel doing bad things, i know exactly how jihadi’s act since i’ve been watching and reading about them in depth since 2001, they are by far the most evil fighters in the world, nobody straps tnt to a toddler like an islamic jihadi, and i have very little sympathy for any town/city/group that harbours them
if you watch for example
Mosul offensive: Fighting ISIS on the frontline in Iraq
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx6U3x2M3XA
even the iraqi army struggles to determine who is a civilian and who is an islamic jihadi, because (surprise surprise) the jihadis hide in plain clothes amongst women and children
they were even scared to let a woman with a child in worried she was a suicide bomber
i completely understand why israel would rather stay 100 yards away and bomb from the air rather than go into a snake pit
so my question is where is hamas and where are the palestinians?
Hamas is an idea. Even if every single Hamas fighter were magically killed instantly, Hamas 2 would pop up because of what Israel has done and continues to do. Hamas itself doesn't really matter.
Also lumping together Iraqi jihadis (as you call them) with Palestinians and their liberation resistance movement is kinda racist. They're not the same.
For the record I do not advocate for Hamas, nor do I support their actions but their existence is inevitable.
The real question you should be asking is why is there a fascist ethnostate in the first place? And why is it propped up by Western countries?
