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.

Israeli attacks on Lebanon have killed more than 1,974 people, including 127 children. At least 9,384 people wounded.
There is also the fact that Israel has been committing genocide for over a year.
Clearly, more violence is what will fix this. /s
Be sure to let me know when an #-page report is released and/or casualty projections are large enough that the price-tag isn't worth it. Otherwise you're using violence to justify violence and this cycle of death continues... to whose benefit again?
If you read the first three chapters of that report, you'll have your answer
Israel has repeatedly chosen violence over peace. They've even assassinated the Principal Peace Negotiator multiple times, in order to continue delaying peace negotiations
The question was rhetorical. But no, I'm not reading your clearly biased copypasta.
Now you're calling a Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor Report a 'biased copypasta' and completely disregarding the entire report.
Yes, I am. Didn't get a paragraph in when these criticisms became obvious to me before I even checked. OFC I disregard the report. It is biased af.
Ooof, I've never seen someone use MBFC as a source before. That's just sad.
Not as sad as what 42k dead? Keep on defending violence with violence though. Definitely not sad.
MBFC is a terrible way to consider whether a source is credible or not. But even if you look at the MBFC for Euro-Med, is shows no failed fact checks and a bias for human rights... If you consider that kind of bias worth disregarding, what does that say? You've given no genuine reason to ignore the Report.
Like I said, MBFC is not a good way to determine if a source is credible. Credibility is about facts and honest reporting, both of which are present in Euro-Med Monitor reporting. Nor do they omit context, the entire first two chapters of the report are about the context of the conflict. The MBFC page even contradicts itself by admitting the sources used by Euro-Med are also credible. Euro-Med and other Human Rights Organizations apply International Law equally to all parties. The amount of violations is obviously disproportionate when one side is committing genocide, that does not mean these organizations are 'one-sided' as MBFC wants to believe, they each have multiple reports condemning human rights violations by Hamas and other resistance organizations. You're refusal to consider these reports when it comes to the human rights violations of Israel shows how one-sided your views of this conflict are.
I'll make my own determination tyvm. And as already stated, I agree with their analysis. Find a less biased source.
How can you make your own determination if you steadfastly refuse to even consider all the facts?
That's impossible with your ridiculous premise that bias is somehow inherently bad and also more important to consider than factual reporting.
Are Israeli sources like B'TSelem and Breaking the Silence also too biased to you? Works done by Israeli Historians such as Ilan Pappe and Avi Schlaim?
The reality of this genocide, the Apartheid, and the daily violence of the Occupation are well documented and readily available.
Just a question do you get tired of being a genocide apologist or does it just come naturally to you?
