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.

If concessions can not be made to save these lives even with the entire world watching, then I do not want to hear falsehoods about caring for human rights.
I've been very cautious to reserve the word "Genocide" because I didn't want to devalue it with hyperbole. For years, I've said that Israel is ethnically cleansing historic Palestine. But reading this article... I think this is the point where it becomes genocide, full and proper.
It's shocking to bear witness to.
It is genocide either way by definition. Whether it's cultural or straight murder.
By the UN definition, it's been genocide for a long fucking time
A good way to avoid that is to not illegally enter Israel and start firing rockets! Wake up!
Children shouldn't be punished for the crimes of crazy men.
I agree, but pretending that doesnt happen in a literal warzone isnt realistic. Get the fuck away!
If a literal war broke out a couple neighborhoods from you, would you stay because all your shit was there, and keep your family with you, or take off and worry about the rest later, because anything is literally better and safer than being there? Common fucking sense. Somebody living in Gaza 1000% knew what was coming, that area has been fucked since before they were born.
Gaza is only 25 miles long. The furthest away I could get from my neighbours right now would be the next town over, where 1 million people already live and there is limited food and water. Have some compassion ffs.
And bombing civilians is a war crime, so no, it doesn't happen in a war zone.
Anything is safer than a warzone, and limited food and water is still better than being bombed. Has nothing to do with compassion, its reality.
Like what Hama's did? Ya, forget terrorists dont have rules didn't you?
Someone else committing war crimes does not make it okay for you to do war crimes.
Both Hamas and Israel are doing war crimes and should be punished for it.
There isn't anywhere safe in Gaza right now.
We aren't talking about what Hamas did, obviously that wasn't ok?
There's no separating the two. What happening in Gaza is a direct result of what THEY did to Israel. You don't get to illegally cross a border, fire rockets, kill people, then cry when there's retaliation. Not how any country on the planet works. Welcome to reality.
Of course, you could think about why Hamas did what they did, but that might hurt your brain too much.
The reason doesn't change what they did. You're not 5, you violate a countries border, and attack it, theres consequences.
Then the same is true of Israel. You don't get to have it both ways.
🤦🏻♀️ So when Israel violated Gaza's border, that's fine?
Fine? I seriously can't tell if you're serious or not? An act of war on a foreign countries soil = them coming after you. Have you heard of war before?
So you're that the Hamas attack on Israel was a direct result of Israels actions?
Other way around
So just so we're clear, you think Hamas attacked Israel completely unprovoked?
There's no such thing as unprovoked between the two of them and you know that, never has been, never will be. Whats happening right now is a results of the last Hamas attack.
Which is a result of the previous Israel attack.
Which didn't end in a direct war did it? Everytime it's escalated, the response will be as well.
So you think Hamas will be justified in an even bigger attack on Israel?
Justified, no, because they're the terrorists. But in their minds they will be. Which doesn't matter.
Ah so it's only terrorism when it's not Israel doing it.
The actions don't matter, only the side you're on.
I'm not having a conversation with a child. One is a legitimate country, one is a known terror organization, known as such by every civilized country there is.
So you admit it -- sides not actions.
Talk about being a hypocritical little child.
Your logic is fucking brutal my guy.
The logic of defending yourself against an invader firing rockets inside your country? OK! Good luck finding a country that tolerates that.
So as long as something happens in reality, no one should condemn it? Interesting logic.
Funny, I was thinking it was interesting logic to defend peolple who's goal in life is genocide of all Jews. Just like they want you to do. Good job being a sucker.
Cool projection bro. Is that 4K?
Maybe you aren't aware, but Gaza is a prison. You can't really leave it.
I'm very aware, and its a prison governed by Hamas. So when Hamas attacks Israel......
Civilian Palestinians did not do any of those things. Thise were the acts of Hamas, not Palestinian children.
