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.
-
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.

Please not MBFC is biased garbage.
MBFC's biggest criticism of Al Jazeera?
MBFC only approves IDF mouthpieces.
The Opinion section of a newspaper should not be accounted in how "Factual" the reporting of a news agency is. I'm not sure why that would even be relevant...
The opinion section reveals the bias of the author and if that author writes news articles, guess what, that bias transfers. Ones biases do not simply vanish on a whim.
Because I have a brain and understand being critical of Israel is not a detriment to a newspaper.
As a perfect example, your obvious bias strongly influences readers evaluation of your opinion. Guess what mine is.
prolly genocide denial.
Ok let's be pedantic then
Israel isn't convicted of committing genocide, yet as there's only “a plausible risk of genocide” - and I'm sure the "defense" minister calling for the starvation of all people in Gaza and referring to them as "human animals" will do wonders for Israel's case..
The current ruling is that "Israel must take all measures to prevent genocidal acts in Gaza" - which is an interesting statement to make if the ICJ thought no genocidal acts were happening.
But hey innocent until proven guilty right - I just hope if it does get proven you'll be the first one to start shouting how Israel is committing genocide - the same way you're currently doing the opposite - as that would show your true lack of bias..
Witness how, yet again, these types play their cute little games dancing around the question, never addressing the core issue that they themselves spout as some kind of grand “gotcha”.
Israel is committing state sponsored genocide on the Palestinian people.
We will remember you as the collaborator you are.
