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.

I think, the average view on a starving Palestinian and a proud member of Hamas or Islamic Dschihad differs. And above, I talked about "Hamas", not about random people suffering in Gaza.
There is no difference between the two in the eyes of the Lavender AI.
If you're baited into opposing "Hamas", it is only a matter of time before you're defending an airstrike on a hospital or the IDF gang rape of a general surgeon.
I kind of got baited into opposing Hamas by.... Let me check.... Ahm... by Hamas!
That does not mean that I'm not also opposing Netanyahu and his far right assholes.
Both sides have terrible governments.
Where is the Palestinian government in Gaza? Name one living state official in the territory.
I don't exactly understand the question. Hamas is the de facto government since 2007.
If you want to, we can use a different word like "leaders" or "rulers" or "dictators" or "those in power", if the word "government" does fit...
Or do you want to question whether Hamas still holds the power in Gaza?
Palestinians haven't been allowed normal elections since a plurality of the party won office. They've been under IDF martial law, with no working civilian government or democratic process, precisely because the Israelis didn't want to let a Hamas-aligned civilian leadership hold any kind of power.
Who is the Hamas PM? Name any Hamas minister. Name a Hamas MP, even. A Hamas Mayor? Police chief? Dogcatcher?
Name any single living Hamas politician.
Can you? How can a party hold power if all of its leadership have been executed?
What exactly is the point?
I can name you only 2 people from the Israel government. Does that mean that there are only 2? No.........
Why are the names relevant? When there is a new hostage deal, there will be armed Hamas people with face masks forcing the hostages on a stage... Ask those Hamas guys what their names are... To be honest: I don't care about their names at all. Them doing what they are doing clearly shows who's in power.
We all know that Hamas did not want any fair elections. I mean... Read this...
(from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip#Hamas_government)
Why exactly can a dead person in power not be replaced with a living one?
Real genocidal mentality right there.
With that logic, we can not talk about Mexico, Sweden, Finland and Kazakhstan. I don't know anyone from their governments and I don't care about their names at all... "Genocidal mentality", I guess...
Good that you know all of their names!!!111 A win for humanity!!!111
