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.

Russia invades Ukraine. Sanction the fuck out of Russia.
Israel invades Palestine...
Israel always get a free past. The western leaders are so racist and pathetic.
Yeah, you're missing a couple pretty fucking important details in this comparison.
Details like arming israel to commit genocide
And what might those pretty fucking important details be?
Hasbara bullshit, presumably
Yeah Russia isn't a settler colony of the United States
Please expand.
To mention a couple from the top of my head:
Palestine invaded Israel, that's how the war started -- not the other way around
Ukraine is not looking to genocide Russia, just that they would fuck off. Hamas is looking to genocide Israel, and Israel would just like hamas to fuck off
Ukraine is in Europe, Europe is being threatened and has been manipulated by Russia for decades
Of the two largest participants in the Gaza War, Israel is closer to western values
In Ukraine war, the evil participant is strong
I'm sure there are others.
frfr, Russia isn’t committing genocide. (Not defending Russia, if it’s not clear)
They're attempting to, with how they treat Ukranians in territories they occupy, but thankfully Ukraine is able to defend themselves against missiles and bombers. Not really the case with Palestine, not much a Palestinian kid can do against complete and total saturation bombardment and snipers to pick off the civilians that survive. Israel and Russia are two sides of the same coin against very differently equipped victims.
I mean they kinda are, just in a different way. Russia claims that all Ukrainians are actually Russian and they don't deserve their own sovereignty. They essentially want to commit a cultural genocide of Ukraine and any Ukrainians that refuse to relinquish their culture or identity as Ukrainian.
I'm no expert though, so I'd appreciate if someone with more in-depth knowledge could expand on this a bit.
I mean, their state media is pretty upfront about the intents: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Russia_Should_Do_with_Ukraine
I thought kidnapping all those children was deemed to count.
If Ukraine invaded Russia first by cutting the breasts off teenage girls at a music festival and the country was run by an islamic jihadi terrorist organisation pretty sure we would have just let Russia invade
I know it's a cringey, dead meme response, but tell me you don't understand one single thing about the Palestine-Israel conflict without telling me you don't understand one single thing about the Palestine-Israel conflict...
He knows he is just a monster who defend genocide and settler colonialism
Why don't you talk about the rapes during the nekba, the rape and torture in israeli prisons, the rape and torture in the west bank ? The terrorists operstions by the lehi and haganah etc. Zionists admiting their settler colonialism intention? The one station solutions offers that the plo suggested? The non zionist Yemeni jews tat migrated to palestine and was welvomed by palestinians?
Alternately what if the most egregious claims of sexual violence were made up by the opposing side to justify their overblown response?

I'm not going to fault you for blindly repeating what you may have heard, but you need to know also it may not necessarily be true.
A jihadi terrorist organisation partially sponsored by Israel itself
Did you miss the part where Russia claims Ukraine is run by Nazis?
The claims are equivalent.
