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.

Israel has lost the war. Young people don't like Israel. Right wingers hate Jews. Leftists hate apartheid. There is no way out.
Military, oil, and other megacorporations love Israel though.
Majority opinion doesn't matter as much as that of the capitalist ruling class under capitalism, unless there's massive protests and riots.
Why does oil love Israel?
Keeping the middle east divided and at war gets them better deals.
They'd be better off destroying OPEC not Gaza
Not sure if it's true but I've heard there are huge oil reserves off the coast of Gaza.
Lots of right leaning conservatives in America dick ride the Zionists.
But ig they don't represent all right wingers
The issue is bipartisan. Dems love Israel just the same it seems.
And then the Democrats feign outrage about foreign interference in US elections. Just like they (rightly) say we have to defeat Trump to save democracy, all while actively rigging the 2024 primary - even canceling it in states like Florida.
Democrats are a far bit better than Republicans, but they are sure doing everything possible to undermine their own messaging.
At least with republicans you know they're awful from the jump they don't really try to hide their shit baggery. Dems try to play the good guy but are like wolves in sheep's clothing
More like sheep in shepard's clothing I think. They give the sheep a false sense of security but, when the wolves appear, suddenly they are sheep again, or nowhere to be found.
ywah absolutely
You got the Christo-Con old guard Republicans who will drop to their knees at the drop of a hat to suck the nearest Israeli's dick. They make up majority of the over-60s, which is frankly a pretty major segment of the Republicans. These are the guys who will automatically side with our greatest ally regardless of context.
Trump-leaning but not fanatical Republicans tend to be pro-Zionism or at the very least they are neutral to it. I feel like this group is exceedingly small.
But MAGA-ers? It's hard to place them. You get a mix bag of hardcore Zionists, white nationalists, libertarians who are against the funding, it's all over the fucking place.
I do feel like Zionism is dropping among Republicans year by year.
Let’s see Bean Shapeepee cope with this
They haven't lost anything. They have the full support of almost the entirety of the US government, hence the $100+ billion in additional funding on top of the billions they already receive every single year. Although the tides are changing, they're changing so slowly that any trace of Palestine will likely be wiped off the map long before the possibility of a majority Palestinian-favoring congress ever forms. Israel are accelerating their ethnic cleansing efforts to ensure this.
