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.

Yet the one country trying to increase rights to people is hated by the rest of the world and called baby killers.
Israel's occupation and destruction is not increasing Palestinian rights just like nazi Germany didn't increase jewish people's rights.
When you learned about history, did you learn about the Kings of Phrygia? How about older history like Ancient Egypt, Anatolia? What I'm trying to say is that through 7,000 years of documented history kept by all of these countries. They all mention going to Judea or Israel. None of these countries mention going to Palestine until the Romans became involved.
When I learned history, I learned that the original inhabitants of Palestine are the cannnites. And that it was the Jews that immigrated from Egypt to their land. I also learned that they massacred the people there according to the Bible and Torah (if you believe in that).
[1 Samuel 15:3] Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
Whats interesting to me is that despite Jews owning 5% of Palestine before the creation of the state of Israel, the UN decided to split Palestine in half and give them 50%.
Quick we must liberate their women by murdering them all and destroying their infrastructure. Oh look they happen to have oil. How convenient!
That's one way to do it, but I'm not sure how much oil there is?
fuck off colonialist <3
I very much will fuck off. But anger towards colonists in 2025 is a bit silly don't you think? That is a lot of angst towards a world that doesn't care about you.
What country
Israel - Both genders can vote, many non-Jewish Israelis hold public offices. You can be Muslim or Christian and not fear for you life due to your belief.
Israel has segregated roads for non-Jews what are you talking about. Read the latest book by Ta Nahesi Coates.
Yet Israel is also committing a genocide at this current moment. Even more so since they've blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza. All 3 points you've stated are really basic freedoms that aren't really anything to celebrate or brag about in 2024. The post is about a state currently run by an extremist terrorist organisation that seized power. Comparing this to freedoms afforded by a democratically elected government in order to justify a defense of a genocide of people in a different country more than 3000 km away who happen to share a religion with the former state is honestly bizarre.
No one wanted any of this but one area decided we'll tolerate "Middle Eastern David Koresh" and what did he do? He thought he would attempt Project Mayhem without actually planning it through and put all the Palestinians lives in danger by hiding his tools in areas he didn't think anyone would try to find them.
Why did every ally to Palestine refuse to assist after October? Egypt, Lebanon? And why does Saudi Arabia seem to have no issues with any of this?
