A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Religion is a cancer on humanity. It needs to be cut out.
they could just not abuse people
I’d been wondering what Kyrsten Sinema was up to these days.
I'm going to hate the state of Israel for the rest of my life.
Please boycott. It's our most effective nonviolent resistance.
What does Isreal sell that i could stop buying? I don't actually know of a single thing i currently or have ever baught from that nation. Is there a product you had in mind we should be boycotting?
Take a look around here: https://bdsmovement.net/
Bdsm movement?
Boycott Divest Sell so bdsm for financial planners I guess
Mmm, yes, strap me to your spreadsheet, daddy!
Ok, i saw Microsoft and reebok. Am i supposed to read this? Do the cookies on the website feed Palestine children?
Wow reading a page to see a list of companies that support an active genocide is too much to ask?
You can reject all cookies and still see everything. You really have to invent unpassable obstacles just to find an excuse to not do the bare minimum?
We're not asking you to donate, we're not asking you to fight, we're simply asking you to avoid giving your money to corporations that profit off the genocide industry, and you'll help your own country and give your children a chance at a better future by not supporting corporations with extremely oppressive practices.
The BDS list is the bare minimum you can do, you can also try to be conscious in how you spend your money outside of that by checking each product you consume individually. This app makes it easy to scan and a barcode and instantly know if the product is made by a company that directly opposes your principals: https://www.boycat.io/
“The incident in Sde Teiman caused immense damage to the image of the state of Israel and the IDF [Israel Defense Forces],” the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said in a statement on Sunday. “This is perhaps the most severe public relations attack that the state of Israel has experienced since its establishment.”
Telling the truth was the "most severe public relations attack that the state of Israel has experienced since its establishment".
Makes ya wonder huh?
In other words, Netanyahu admits the image of Israel is based on lies
Can't have people seeing what's behind the mask.
"The victim was hospitalised with injuries including broken ribs, a punctured lung and rectal damage, according to the indictment, and Tomer-Yerushalmi launched an investigation."
Other accounts of rape:
"The New York Times documented an allegation of rape from a senior nurse who said two soldiers lifted him up and pressed his rectum against a metal stick fixed to the ground.
A report by the UN’s Palestinian relief agency Unrwa into abuse allegations at Sde Teiman provided a similar account of a detainee forced to “sit on something like a hot metal stick”, who said another detainee died after anal rape with an “electric stick”."
During the Iraq war, the Israelis taught the US military to use rape against Arab men because of the extreme shame it causes them. The US adopted it at Abu Ghraib.
Fuckin barbaric
They're calling these soldiers who anally raped a prisoner "heroes". Fucking disgusting scumbags.
She's a hero
Her job on every other day, is to provide fig leaf legal cover for IDF crimes on and off the battlefield. If Israel ‘investigates’ it own soldier’s conduct, it closes off international oversight and legal intervention. Doesn’t matter that the conviction rate is in the single digits, as long as there is some legal recourse, they can skirt their obligations under international law.
She leaked the video to further that coverup, not out of some righteous indignation or sense of justice. Otherwise she’d have done a mass dump of internal files to a dead-drop server hosted in Sweden or mailed a stack of documents to The Hague.
Where domestic legal proceedings fail to address human rights abuses, mechanisms and procedures for individual complaints or communications are available at the regional and international levels to help ensure that international human rights standards are indeed respected, implemented, and enforced at the local level.
"let us not commit the sin of empathy"
Abuse occurs. Arrest made of the one who pointed it out. Cool?
Wow, there is at least one decent person in Israel.
Read more and you'll find out her motivations were not honorable.
Odds are in a population of millions that many people are nice/good
Fuck isreal
These guys are obsessed with wearing women’s underwear and sticking stuff up peoples asses
Hey, why you hating on femme clothes and ass play?
I’m not. To be clear, we are not talking about the same thing. The stuff they’re into is legitimately pathological and sadistic, though I’m sure there are some repressed homosexual underpinnings to it, particularly for the men.
Again, you imply the homosexual underpinnings are the problem.
Again, I did not. It’s not the homosexuality that’s a problem it’s the forced rectal penetration on an unwilling participant, which may be a regular occurrence due to repressed homosexual desires, like a Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne Gacy situation. It is a notable facet, not “the problem”.
