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.

if we look at history then israel is a existential threat for not just all its neighbour but the entire humanity.
you do realize that apart from bombing school full of kids and sniping pregnant women, israel also supplies spyware and weapon to far worse countries than iran and even some of the most violent drug cartels of the world ? and they do so with full support of cia because they have hijacked both parties using the “aid” we give them.
You need to put down the propaganda. There are shades of gray between black and white and it's white weird to think Israel is THE WORST considering all that is going on in the world.
Trump going crazy because of his birthday protests and lunching the nukes seems more of a "the whole world" existential threat than the hate of yet another small country in the Middle East at war.
and you think israel is not the major factor as why trump won the presidency ? netanyahu wanted trump as president and there is no doubt there was more pro-trump hasbara propaganda than russian. aipac has been funding spineless hacks in dnc local primaries vs strong progressives for decades. schumer has openly said that above all his job is to keep dnc pro-israel. harris chose to risk loosing the election than even say anything remotely critical of israel when they were burning people alive in hospitals and shooting UN. aipac has been doing all to support any legislation that give more power to trump to suppress any pro-palestine activity. and do they care if trump use it to kill a thousand anti-ice protestors ? no they will do all to help trump turn us into dictatorship if it ensures they don’t have to care about public sentiment against them (which it is overwhelmingly in both red and blue states)
