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.

I stopped. I was very pro Israel back in the day. Even said “well Israel wants to divide the country while hamas wants all Jews dead… I have to side with the Jews”
But then they did a genocide and it’s like “well there goes that theory”
No one likes to be wrong but what’s worse is continuing to be wrong after you know.
I don’t know the solution but I’ve changed my mind on the problem.
The secret is Israel was always doing a genocide.
Always is very broad term. I can tell you during ww2 they were not genocideing Palestine.
I agree that this was ramping up for longer than I knew but using words like “always” only hurts the cause .
That's only if you stop the WW2 timeline abruptly and not include the Nakba where's Jews "removed" 750k Palestians off their land.
The regional rain changes during the late 1400s tho! Let’s talk about the crusades. What about this night doing that thing 1500 years ago.
I have my line. Respect it.
1500 years, and 2 years is a huge difference though, especially when it involved the exact same people, not ancestors or promise land people from a book written 4000 years ago.
You’re right. I’ll go back to siding with Israel. You win brother. You changed my mind.
You ever consider leaving well enough alone?
Congrats on reaching the middle ground, but this one is so far away from "complicated"
lol middle ground? You think I’m unsure about the importance of this?
You want to give me a lesson in historical events to prove a view I ALREADY Agree with.
I’m explaining I’m very busy and I don’t care.
Sounds terrible sure. I’m already on your side brother and your view is “but you don’t agree the 3rd crisis of the second realm caused the orphan of impossible fate! How could you claim to care if you haven’t experts dark water in the limitless plane!!!”
Dude I’m on your side! What nonsense are you going on about?! I sheltered homeless people in my home. I’ve hid immigrants. I showed employees how to work HR systems to report bosses.
I’m sorry I haven’t read the forgotten tomb of great regard but I’m doing more than my part.
You are hurting your cause bro. Chill. Take the easy win.
You must be a bot to be this upset about an obvious win that don’t meet pre- determined metrics.
“He agrees but he didn’t mention the translcuent dragon only the clear dragon!!! We must educate him”
What exactly is your goal? Explain to me what “winning” against me looks like?
Explaining what the Hannibal Directive is, or at least explaining to me why jews should be exterminated for burning down the Reichstag building, would be a great start.
