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.

next up, invade random countries... don't mind me I'm just going through Hitler's to-do list.
Doing a Blitzkreg to win some Lebensraum and no I don't understand why this would be problematic.
The Südetenland is already waiting to be liberated and fulfill their genetic destiny!
These propaganda memes are getting more and more bizarre. This is the "Promised Land" meme that from I can tell originated from a faked photo of a patch on an Israeli soldier a few weeks ago.
Israel simply doesn't have the capability to take that amount of territory, much less hold it. And see that blue on the Sinai peninsula? Israel actually controlled that in the past. They returned it to Egypt when they made peace in the 70s.
This is the silliest anti-Israel meme yet. Try harder next time.
While this meme/picture is definitely exaggerated, the expansion of Israel far beyond its current borders is a political position held by members of the current government. It originates from early Zionist militias that aspired to capture these widespread borders.
It even caused an international incident some time ago. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-seeks-to-calm-waters-with-jordan-after-racist-extremist-speech-by-smotrich/
The Nazi ideology is alive and rules in Tel Aviv. They just changed who the supreme race is.
Doesn’t Lebanon shoot rockets at Israel? Like pretty frequently?
Yeah, while Israel has been invading and violating Lebanon's airspace for much longer than they've been shooting rockets.
So not really “invading random countries” like the person I responded to said, right? They’ve been fighting
Yeah Israel should have been sanctioned a long time ago for their airspace invasions. If they proceed with a land invasion, they should be embargoed by the world.
By your logic though, Taiwan should be launching rockets into China because China regularly violates their airspace. It’s just not how normal countries interact with each other man, these people are psychos. Both sides
I just said Israel should be sanctioned. I haven't made one comment on whether the rockets were good or bad.
I asked hasn’t Lebanon been firing rockets at Israel for a while - you said Israel invades their airspace (implying that firing rockets into Israel was justified)
Yeah, by your own logic you can go one reply further and you'll realize that you were trying to justify a land invasion of Lebanon.
I was trying to point out that it wouldn’t be “invading random countries”. They’ve been fighting
Are people actually making excuses for Hezbollah?
Are people actually making excuses for Israel?
Are you serious? Hezbollah went in and gutted Lebanon of anything not of their version of "islamic" and think they are going to get sympathy. Why do you think so many people left Lebanon during the civil war (if you can even call it that)?
and Israel did even worse. Your point?
Israel is worse. Israel is the Jewish Isis.
Yikes.
Yes.
Are people actually making excuses for Israel?
You can't really think of Lebanon as a country at this time. It's a territory where several groups hold various amounts of power. Hzbollah is one of those groups. The "government", or what passes for it is another.
Palestine isn't a country. Lebanon isn't a country. Excited to see Syria, Egypt, and Jordan suffer the same fate.
Palestine isn't a country. It was offered statehood and turned it down. Lebanon is very much a country.
More countries recognize Palestine as an independent state than Taiwan.
It wasn't offered statehood. It was offered a shell of bureaucracy under the boot of an occupying Israeli military.
Under the boot of an occupying Israeli military. You mean the one who had to build the iron dome becusse Arab states want/wanted to bomb it back to the stoneage?
Good for these countries recognizing it's statehood, doesn't make it true.
This is what colonial rhetoric in the 21st century looks like.
