What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Why’d they put a refugee camp right where the bombs were landing?

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

So they could drop bombs on them more efficiently.

Ah right yeah, I can see it now, that's where the Gazans (Gazians?) were going wrong all along.

Maybe the UN should have passed a sanction to stop them getting in the way of Israeli bombs, we'd have got a resolution much sooner!

Remember when all European politics used to make a big drama when Russia bombed a building in a city without any injured? Turns out that was a joke. You can bomb refugee camps and it's still ok.
