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.

The real answer is an arms embargo, until Israel is no longer an apartheid state. One state, full rights for all.
Arms embargo is part of it for sure. But more would need to be done. Sanctions, peace keepers, and embargos would be a good first step.
Agreed, anything other than what is currently going on.
Two states, full rights for all in both
Israel is a violent settler apartheid. No.
They wouldn't be if they ensured full (and equal) rights to all its citizens. It's delusional to think the situation would ever go back to that of before 1947
No thanks
Ew
One state, no Jim crow bullshit
Ah that's fair I would agree with that but I don't think 99% of Israelis would.
You got us in the first half lol
So they can buy them from Russia and China instead, without any of the stipulations that the US requires? That's a very quick way to make Palestine disappear off the planet, while also losing a powerful ally to hostile states.
What in the ever living fuck are you talking about?
Let Israel align themselves with those countries, it'll be their political decline on the world stage. "Stipulations"
Israel is only powerful because the united States government supplies them with arms and protection.
One state solution.
Believe it or not, this is still Israel restraining itself. A full arms embargo would guarantee that they wipe Palestine off the face of the earth. This is not an opinion, it is an objective geopolitical fact.
Edit: This would also likely lead to Israel selling weapons to Russia to use against Ukraine. Their domestic weapons industry is massive.
I don't believe it. Israel is a fascist state because of the Likud, they will stop this genocide if the US applies ANY political pressure. Destroying the far right in the Knesset will lead to a more egalitarian Israel.
What in the last 75 years makes you think that?
Are you completely unaware of the political pressure that has already been applied? Or how it worked the last dozen times that Israel and Palestine have gone to war? Do you think that weapons are the only thing that Israel needs from the US?
This part is dead on, but again, the US has no control there.
As much as I hate the guy, Reagan did it. I gotta go wash my hand after typing this.
He tempered Israel the first time, the current or future administrations can do the same.
How? Where are they going to get all these weapons? Russia doesn't have enough to give them. They're not gonna buy from Iran. Maybe china but china most likely will not want to back Israel. And if the US and it's allies say they're done with this Israel isn't going to attack anyone because the US would just sit back and let Hezbollah and Iran do what they want
A powerful ally? Really? One we need to prop up with 3 billion in aid every year?
What stipulations?
