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.

Like that'll happen...
The Israelis don't just try to keep reporters out of Gaza - they murder them.
2024 was the deadliest year for journalists since records started being kept, and the vast majority were killed by Israel.
They know full well that even with their legions of amoral defenders, they couldn't weather ongoing reporting of real conditions in Gaza. They'd be exposed for the liars and murderous paychopaths they are. Their overt evil would be so obvious that even the most determined bought-and-paid-for American politicians couldn't pretend they were anything else.
Realistically, what more could we find out? We already have proof of the most heinous shit imaginable by humans, and we know for a fact it is ongoing.
No one is on the fence with this. No country is going to take action unless it immediately benefits them.
I'll probably be downvoted into oblivion for being the messenger.
We already know but the average pea-brained morons don't. To the degree that they might hear about it, they just write it off as woke propaganda from Trump haters (or whatever fits their particular combination of ignorance, bigotry and wishful thinking). And they aren't going to believe it until it's streamed directly into their eyes, over and over.
you would get independent verification of the atrocities rather than a Hamas claims and Israel investigates situation we have now.
Imagine the reports coming out with proper journalists creating a narrative that ordinary people can connect to. rather than shaky phone camera video that Israel can claim is not what it is.
This is probably why they are murdering health professionals. currently, the only real independent verification we have comes from doctors who have credibility. So they have become targets also
That is a great point that I hadnt put enough thought into. Individual prosecution, if we ever get to that, would go a way longer way with ongoing reports.
