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 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.

I hope that in the distant future, humanity will be able to look back at Zionist Israel and remember it as one of the most horrific, brutal, and disgusting regimes that ever existed in human history along with likes of nazi Germany and so on.
And I hope the name of every country and political figure that lined up to gleefully serve them is written alongside.
And how mmost of the world countries letting it happen and many was even sinding arms to a terrorist state
The femine in Yemen has been going for much longer and is a direct consequence of Saudi Arabia’s actions. It has cost more life’s than the Israeli Palestinian conflict, too.
The UAE are financing the RSF militia in Sudan, which is responsible for the ongoing genocide in Darfur.
With all justified condemnation of Israel, let’s not forget that there are far bigger and far worse actors in the region.
The occupation of the Palestinians must end. There must be a Palestinian state. But the plight of the Palestinians has been receiving so much attention that it’s very easy to ignore that there are far bigger crises happening, that for some reason are being ignored.
who the fuck do you think the UAE and Saudi Arabia work for? Why does the US protect these monarch dictatorships, supply weapons and logestic aid and supply their military jets, and fully enable them to commit their genocides you cheeky smartbuttocks? Why aren't them bombing them like Iran... aren't they all oppersive regiemes that kill and jail their protestors? Isn't one of the reasons that they serve USA's 51st state Israel and for continuesly providing them with ground, air, and sea shipments of weapons, bombs, oil, and provided them with ground spies, and paid out their countrys' own pocket to make the Gaza genocide happen?
It goes way deeper.. They give them control of lands inside their countries, investments, and total control of their policies. Without Israel none of these genocides would've happened.
Secondly, why the fuck do you think these specific genocides happened in Yemen, Sudan, Lybia... happened?? Each one of these genocides happened to serve and protect Israel! Look who is fighting Israel now.. The Houthis.? The ones who fought the genocide that you complain about not receiving attention. Who do you think the RSF support and work to destabilize Sudan for? Have you read the RSF statements and support for Israel? Who do you think Eygpt's military masassacred their civilians for? Could it be because their first elected president was against Israel? Lebanon wars was for who? Iraq invasion was for who? Iran attacks for who?
Feel free to challenge me on anything I said, and I will show you the evidence to help you get your facts stright
Despite your charming attitude I really see no point in speaking to you
Which is why I said "one of the most" and "along the likes of nazi Germany and so on"
I did not say nor imply it was the only horrific event in human history. You are bringing up whataboutism.
My point is that this comparison is not justified, and actually weakens legitimate criticism of Israel
Ummm... No.
I should have been more specific, my bad. I meant that it has been going on for longer than this most recent war, not that it has been going on for longer than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
