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.

Okay, now that he says this in English to our faces, can we stop talking about Israel's cooperation in a two-state solution?
He's been saying it in English for decades, publicly for over two years, and everyone still pretending like a two state solution is anything.
None of us are free until Palestine is free, from the river to the sea.
We need to be a bit careful with "from the river to the sea" as to many in Israel, that is a call for Israel's destruction.
It's not Israel or Palestine that can exist. We want them both to exist, in peace. Angry at Israel's genocide though we all are, few are calling for Israel to cease to exist. That's what Israel is doing to Palestine.
israel should not exist just like how nazi germany does not exist anymore.
Germany existed before and after the Nazis. Israel wasn't always ruled by extremists and should be there when they are gone.
It's a shame Palestine and Israel are divided by religion, but as an atheist, maybe I'm not going to get it.
"nazi germany" does not exist anymore and is a different country from "Germany" (notice the lack of nazi in the name). israel was founded by terrorists and has always been ruled by extremists who wanted to create lebensraum for their genocidal ethnostate utopia. Palestine and israel are not divided by religion. Jews, Christians, and Muslims lived together in Palestine long before the bloody concept of israel was conceived.
Solution: convince Trump to unilaterally rename the Jordan the “Charlie Kirk Memorial River”, and then the West Bank will no longer be west of the Jordan.
The monkey’s paw curls.
We now have a one-state solution where every citizen regardless of origin has full legal rights, stolen land and houses have been returned, the renamed towns have been reassigned their original names, and a sizable proportion of colonists have willingly chosen to leave because they were only ever interested in being the protected class in an apartheid society. Robust border infrastructure has been rebuilt to Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt, with a direct maglev like from Al Quds to every major nearby city. The world rightly recognizes the crimes that have occurred west of the river and the Nakba now sits in the global public consciousness in the same place as Rhodesia and the Nazi Holocaust.
The catch? The country cannot be named Palestine. It has the be named Donald J Trump (PBUH) Presents: The Miraculous Peace in our Time West of the River of America Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter, Buy Gold and War Bonds
Too optimistic huh. We are allowed to dream
Who’s talking about that anywhere?
