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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Ignoring that the IDF killed 6 people yesterday during this "ceasefire" -_-
Jesus christ why can't Hamas and the Zionist party just trade for each others leaderships so they can be executed and we can move past these old fucking religious extremists who keep us busy killing each other?
FFS I hate what religion enables us to do to each other.
it’s not religion. it’s class.
religion is used as lubricant in the class machinery
It has nothing at all to do with religion, not even a little. Without religion, they find a different excuse to do exactly the same thing with no change.
It's the only lubricant, if you will
It's the only lubricant, if you will
Dude take a break from the Marxist revolution to recognize there is more than one dynamic in the world.
I'm sorry, dude, but this is cope from the religiously indoctrinated.
Right-wing ideologies and religious participation are intrinsically linked.
There's entire factions like Randians who disagree with furious intensity
yes but it’s not “the religion” that’s the problem. “ain’t no war but class war” is not just a cool slogan, it’s practically newtonian fact.
Lemmy won’t hear it dude.
The overwhelming opinion here is that
rELiGiOn bAD!
For some reason lots of people here can’t seem to see that class war is the goal, and those in power using religion to achieve that goal.
Religion itself has nothing to do with it. It’s class war all the way using whatever means necessary to keep the poor in their place.
Religion is a control mechanism that was used to police communities before law enforcement was feasible.
Today, it is still a control mechanism that, instead of being ran by governments, is just unregulated cults available for any well-spoken con man to take advantage of.
Saying that we would still have genocide without religion is like saying quadruple amputees could technically still rape someone. But we both know it's way less likely.
Capitaism does genocides too…
More than one thing can be true at the same time lol.
It's their religion that justifies the Zionists exterminting anyone who exists on "their land"
When has a government consciously made the decision to genocide a group of people because it was finantially a good idea?
There usually isn't a reasonable reason to do these things, which is why religion is used, because it lets people accept unreasonable explanations for what happens in the world around them.
Look, i get it. Religion is important to a lot of people. Mostly because they have been forced from childhood to internalize it, but it isn't healthy for society.
cough: the irish potato “famine.”
look. religion is bad. people are bad. capitalists are bad.
i just tend to think it all boils down to peoples castes/class that really drives this “bad.”
The staunchly atheist government of the USSR killed off tens of millions of people, too.
exactly.
Hamas said it would disarm once the occupation end. They accept the two state solution based on pre 67 borders. There is all kind of militant in Palestine there is not only muslims fighting the occupation. From thr palestinian side it was never about religion but liberation from settler colonialism
Do you really, truly believe most Israelis don't want exactly this? The vast majority of Israelis identify as Zionists, and specifically the kinds of Zionists that would at best support expelling Palestinians.
Yeah, the propaganda is pretty strong, and it seems they've insulted their people from reason.
