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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Because a swastika would be too on-the-nose (this unforgivable piece of shit admitted as much when confronted by a reporter)
In possibly the greatest historical irony, Israelis are the new Nazis
As an American Jew, I am HORRIFIED by this, and everything else Israel has been doing for the last several years
Hopefully you mean several decades, or even 100+ years. Nothing they've been doing now is particularly new to them. Maybe just a larger, louder magnitude.
The state of Israel is not even 80 years old.
You should study some history
I have. Enough to know that Zionism, and Zionist militias pre-date Israel, were folded together to create the IDF, and were doing fucked up shit then, and continue to do so now. Maybe you should study some history yourself.
Yet, you’ve still failed on the very basics of the situation.
You just googled Zionism. You have now proven that you don’t know shit about it, beyond what Google tells you.
Google =! Research
You don't know shit about what I know and don't know.
I've read up enough on the Irgun, Palmach, Haganah, Herzl, Jabotinsky, and Ben-Gurion (among others) to know what I need to, thank you very much.
Not to mention that all the shit that was stolen from my family by Zionists.
Yet, you are perfectly comfortable, making the same incorrect assumption about me. Hypocrite.
You have googled enough to prove to everyone here that you don’t know a goddamn thing about what you’re talking about. This little tantrum of yours only reinforces that
I suggest that you go cry to someone who is stupid enough to believe a word you say. You won’t find that here.
I never claimed to know what you know.
I just hoped that if you did know more, you'd be horrified by a lot more than just "the last several years". That's all I meant with my first comment. And since you claim to know so much, I'm disappointed that you're not.
If I'm so wrong in my knowledge, then please, go ahead and correct me. I'm open to being wrong and corrected, but you've pointed out nothing where I am in fact wrong.
Because in my understanding, it is factual that Zionist militias were operating in the 1920s (100+ years ago!), 1930s (most of the action was after the Arab Revolt in 1936), and 1940s until the state of Israel was formed, after which they were dissolved and mixed into the IDF. I haven't made claims beyond that in this thread.
yes, you did. in your first comment. Hypocrite. Liar.
you just hoped that we all were too stupid to notice that your bro-rage originated from an incomplete google search;engine search. you failed on that point, too.
of all the things you have said, zero is correct. so, FACTS say you're wrong.
which, by now, you must understand (as everyone else does) that your "understanding" is the equivalent of raw sewage.
