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.

Well, it shouldn't have been in your 2024 bingo card because it's been a yearly ordeal for decades
It's been a century at this point, hasn't it? I'm pretty sure the British mandate was like in 1920 or something. Though at no point has it been this kind of Hitler shit until now.
I'm pretty one sided on this topic, and I'm sorry if my first comment was hyperbolic as well as one-sided. That said, Is what you're saying:
If Israel starves Palestinians in a ghetto they can't escape, that qualifies as Hitler shit
If so, then I have to ask if the process of Palestinians being forced into ghettos they can't escape, in their own lands, qualifies as Hitler shit?
I truly think Israel has always been this cruel. The only thing that's changed is it's a lot harder to hide something from the Internet.
Also, not like 80 years of colonialism is that different from 100, but the colonies that eventually formed into the nation of Israel were called "British Palestine". When Israel was formed in 1948, this was well after the UN had operated under the imperative that "[the recently discovered] Nukes are dangerous, but the new world order isn't evil because we can use this power to preserve countries' borders"
Also, I'm not saying anything nice about the Eastern block. I hold the opinion western intervention was okay in scenarios like Vietnam, because before capitalist imperialists and even communist imperialists, there were Japanese imperialists destabilizing that region
Nah, starving in ghettos is not that uncommon for a country with a second class population. Going for an extermination of that population would qualify as "Hitler shit".
I think up until recently Israel has been content with just stealing land and forcing locals into worse and worse situation with the hopes that they will either die or flee on their own. Now they just ampted it up to causing a full blown famine there to starve anyone who can survive the bombing and their military.
When Israelis couldn't subjugate the city of Haifa, they completely destroyed it and built a new city with the same name on top.
Theyve been doing Hitler shit for decades, is it really the case that America's longest, oldest war in the east is our most righteous?
