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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

2027, It’ll be done by 2027. Everyone is confused about what is happening now— but Hamas knows if they release all of the hostages and Israel goes right back to their BS the whole world is now watching. The West is shifting heavily and the Arab nations too. Israel thinks it can bandage its reputation through manufacturing more and more consent by buying up airtime like CBS and The Times. But they can’t. And their arrogance repeatedly betrays them.
Their supremacist ideals will be their downfall. They’re flailing already and willing to throw punches any which way that suits their current tantrums. As they escalate, the world will become steadily more intolerant of their mess.
Also, on a religious note, many Gazans know the end of Gaza marks the beginning of the fall of Israel. If you’re meant to survive you will, if you’re meant to be martyred then that is from Allah SWT. This doesn’t mean they aren’t outraged many days at Hamas and what is happening period but most regular people have little control and accept that this has to happen. That it’s already written and that their faith, and Israelis lack of faith, will determine the ultimate outcome. (I’m not saying anyone wants to die or wants this to happen, they just find solace in their faith in the acceptance of they and their loved ones fates.)
There is no future where Israel does not expose themselves— where even the Rocks and Trees bear witness against them. And when Israel full on marches on Damascus, it’s game over, and they’ve already been toying with the idea. So I’d keep a close eye on Syria as well. But Israel must grow in order to fall, at least that’s the theory held by many. And a toppled giant will indeed shake the world.
WWIII started the day Israel rolled her tanks back into Gaza. It was the lighting of the fuse. We can’t stop the unraveling now, it’s too late.
