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.

I would imagine they'd be seen as incredibly biased since they all hate the shit out of Israel and many of them aren't exactly democratic.
When you have South Africa, Ireland and now Colombia stepping up to the plate it brings more weight IMO.
Plus South Africa and Ireland have a special bond with Palestine due to their own past as victims of especially awful colonialist atrocities. They get what Gaza is going through better than most other countries that anyone in the West will listen to.
They also, get money from Iran.
Yeah because even IF that's true, that's SUPER relevant 🙄
Iran is pretty much the central consideration in any matter of mid east policy. If you don't see the relevance I'm not sure you have any credibility to talk about this, like at all.
Yeah because it can't be that they care about the Israeli government committing genocide and a shitload of other crimes against humanity because those actions are bad things to do 🙄
Diplomatic relations with Iran and lack of same is completely irrelevant to the facts of the matter.
Iran isn't forcing the Israeli government to massacre and starve to death tens of thousands of civilians, most of whom are children.
Iran cares about human rights? Their world view does not recognize human rights that cannot be instantly suspended in the name of religious superstition or fear. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.
Nobody except you is talking about Iran. You can pack that ridiculous whataboutism away.
Sounds identical to Netanyahu and Ben-Gvir on that count.
Right back at you, Hasbara Harry.
Tens of thousands of people starved to death?
What?
Yes. I'm not going to elaborate since I checked your comment history and found out that you're either a paid Israeli government representative, an idiot gaslighting for free, or both.
Either way, I might as well try to explain to Donald Trump that there is such a thing as too much gold in interior design as try to make you acknowledge any of the many crimes against humanity being committed by the Israeli government in Gaza and the West Bank.
Have the day you deserve.
Eat shit buddy, you don't know me, as you know.
I know what you've been spewing about Gaza on here, which is plenty information to determine that I will NOT be eating the shit you're shoveling and that you have nothing but pro-apartheid genocide denying shit to offer on this particular topic.
You go have fun with that at the local Hasbara Fellowship while the rest of us deal with the objective reality you're denying.
Wow bud we get it, you feel so bad, you're such a good person. 30,000,000 deaths if war breaks out with Iran is going to make you shit yourself.
My bowel control has improved tremendously since I quit drinking a few years ago but sure, I'd be less than pleased should that come to pass.
I'm also going to be quite upset if the US invades Canada or Alex Jones becomes emperor of Europe, though. Both of those things are exactly as likely as a full scale war between Israel and Iran, let alone one with more then a third the casualties of WWII 🙄
You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. Read some books little kid.
You can repeat your lies and baseless assumptions that only ignorant people aren't unconditionally supporting the genocide of a fascist apartheid regime all you want, doesn't make any of it true 🙄
Make sure you have all your Israel-bad buzz words and zero substance whatsoever.
Honestly, how far did you go in school? I have to know.
The projection is strong with this one..
Every single word has a specific meaning that is true of the Israeli government. Just because you're brainwashed by decades of Zionist propaganda doesn't mean that words challenging your bias lose all meaning.
I went all the way to Tunisia on a school trip once 😛
"You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. Read some books little kid."
Whatever your age is, you sure as hell don't act it.
Oh bugger off!!! You can't even accept credible sources. Maybe YOU should stop talking nonsense all over every day
These are also all countries that have experiences with human rights abuses.
Saudi is a US alley.
Egypt is under a dictatorship after the military removed the elected official. Egypt hasn't been the same since France tricked them by pretending to be allies.
Turkey is like two bad moves from being nuked by either US or Russia (Russia falling would seriously relieve a ton of pressure off Turkey and Syria).
Libya still has no government.
Iraq is run by rapist opioid lords set up by Bush II.
Syria is occupied by Russia, Israel, a crappy dictator, and ISIS.
I'm honestly not sure why Lebanon seems to be going bad.
Saudi, US, and Israel have been doing Gaza tactics in Yemen for a long time. They still are the only country helping Palestine. Israel is actually running out of cars which is ironic as they blew up so many Palestinian cars about 12 months ago.
