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.

Israel did not become a thing until the late 1940s, before that there was no Palestinian-Israeli conflict. You like to spread lies and act as if deaths on both sides of the conflict are equal, they are not. You act as if both sides are on equal footing, they are also not.
You act as if both sides of this conflict are equally responsible for what has happened. Well, prior to Israel being there, Palestine were there, they had homes and were kicked out, and continue to be kicked out. You have no leg to stand on when you steal from and kill innocent people.
With all the things you say, you give no blame to Israel, as if they just popped into existence. Yes of course neighboring countries are going to be upset when a white colonizer country is created on top of other people's soil.
Yes Jewish and Christians were there before Israel, and it was way more peaceful. All of Israel's existence has been belligerent. If "right to return" means steal people's home and murder them, then no I don't think they're entitled to that. Stop defending an apartheid state.
All of those Jewish people who immigrated from Europe are white. The most bloodshed against Jewish people came from Germany. It's crazy that you think that only Jewish people deserve their homes back and not the Palestinians that lose their homes. Israel has no right to the land of the people who lived their already, they are occupying it. They control the lives of Palestinians and they are treated as lesser people, that's the definition of an Apartheid state.
Oh yeah I bet you're a champion for all races, I bet you love Muslims / Arabs right? Israeli and Zionist aren't races, you aren't special.
If you cared about them you wouldn't want to rip them away from their homes. You said it's not okay for groups to be violent, why is it okay for Israel? Killing civilians doesn't count as self defense. Israeli and Zionist aren't ethnic groups.
I love how being a bigot is when someone tells your "ethnic group" to stop genociding. Thats crazy I guess you're saying the holocaust was fine because it was perpetrated by an "ethnic group" (Germany, if you didn't get it). Stop saying killing people is okay.
You said its okay for Israel to defend itself. Thats one of their many excuses to kill people. You don't defend yourself by bombing innocent people. You support Israel and their atrocities, thats acceptance of people being murdered and that isn't right.
So what does "defend itself" mean?
You're acting as if they gave Gaza a freedom, they did not. They controlled all of their water and electricity, and all imports and exports. That's not freedom, that's an open air prison. And for the people of West Bank, they live under total control over the Israeli oppressors, they have no rights. I bet you would fight for your rights if you didn't have any. But of course you think all Palestinians are animals, keep acting like you care.
