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 wonder what Israel's long-term plan is. Because if they achieve their objective and wipe out Gaza then they're going to be international pariahs for pretty much the rest of history.
Regardless of what governments made decide there is going to be extreme social pressure for businesses to not work with them, and the thing is they represent such a small market it isn't worth the inevitable boycott doing business with them would result in. The Israeli government have to know this, civilians living in Israel must know this, yet here we are.
They're banking on making people believe the Palestinians don't deserve to live, and that enough people simply won't give half a shit about a bunch of brown people dying. Coupled with plenty in the west hating muslims because of american wars of aggression and propaganda, I think they'll succeed. Even if in say 3 months, the whole palestinian area is simply wiped out, bulldosed into a giant gravel parking lot, not enough people will give a shit, because they just don't give a shit about other people.
The British and Americans have also committed a bunch of war crimes and exterminations of people and are not pariahs. My expectation is, sadly, that nothing will meaningfully happen if they were to "achieve their objective".
Rhodesia didn't make it though, so there's some precedent for real-world hope too, even though I largely agree with you.
Not really. They have a pretty good stranglehold on dictating what others get to think.
They're probably counting on people eventually forgetting what they did. People can forget quickly.
I should print free Palestine stickers to put on israel products in stores 🤔
Inkjet printers can be traced if the feds really wanted to (probably very unlikely just for stickers though).
pootin only wishes he could hold a candle to their ability to gather kompromat. nothing will change until politicians are void of greed.
so, never
With enough American money, anything is possible. The propaganda printers will go brrrr
