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.

Great to hear more israeli leaders admitting it but this guy responsible of operation cast lead where white phosphorus was used and many other war crimes https://www.hrw.org/report/2009/03/25/rain-fire/israels-unlawful-use-white-phosphorus-gaza
Some hypocrisy is probably going to do more good than silence here
Good against zionist propaganda but won't stop the killing and genocide. It is also important to mention those ex leader war crimes to not make it look natanyaho is the only problem and that when he dies palestinain will be free
Yeah this is a big distinction I always try to make clear. I blame Putin for the war in Ukraine, I blame Israel for the genocide in Gaza.
Whilst I believe you could arguably replace Putin with someone who would be better and over time undo what Putin did, I think Netanyahu would likely be replaced with someone just as bad.
Not quite as black and white as that, but in general that's the sentiment.
I think it's important to note that people can atone for their mistakes.
That doesn't mean they shouldn't be tried for crimes they've committed, or that they shouldn't be shuttered away from the better society they might help create.
But... there should allowances for letting them help fix the mistakes they've made. Not in the same capacity they had before, not in any kind of direct leadership role... but to advise as just how much they've fucked up and how they got to that point.
Any solution that's lasting and positive is going to come from collective action and collective knowledge. The voices for progress and equity will always have to outweigh the voices for war and megalomania, being able to learn from those with experience with the latter is necessary to overcome them.
