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.

Israel instantly blaming it on australia. Wonder if israel is involved.
"the blood of the murdered is on the hands of the Australian government, which announced recognition of a 'Palestinian' state and gave legitimacy to terrorism against Jews."
Israel is the nr1 cause of antisemitism around the world. But sure play the victim again. They also knew of the october 7th attacks and used it as an excuse to wipe out a country. So sorry if I am a little suspicious. They probably aren't directly involved but are definitely the cause.
Don't know why you're getting downvoted, but it should be obvious to anyone that the terrorist state of Israel will never accept any blame for painting targets on all the Jews around the world, because that would also be admitting to all the atrocities they carried out.
I suspect lemmy was invaded by Israeli bots to try and control all the antisemitism.
I think it’s more people don’t like the implication without any evidence that Israel is involved beyond fostering the conditions that have fanned the flames of global antisemitism.
I posted an unfounded comment in an untimely manner. It's about the victims and I turned it political. I just posted it on an impulse.
If there's a way to handle things incorrectly, Israel will find it.
Over 10 people were just murdered. Let's go flame on Israel a bit because why the fuck not? Fucking idiot.
You're right.
These two should have conducted their murders in a civilized way, like bombing people as they lay helpless in a hospital bed, or standing in line for food at a designated aid site.
Or, by blockading shipments of food so they just starve to death.
That's the civilized, Israeli way to do murder.
Israel is committing a genocide, and they claim to do it in the name of all Jews.
I have no idea what actually motivated these deplorable mass murderers in Australia, but the possible connection to Israel is an obvious hypothesis. Discounting this hypothesis without evidence only shows your bias.
Take a good look at the comment above mine. Now read my comment again. Who discounted what?
I've reread it and I've come to the same conclusion: You are discounting the hypothesis that this mass murder was triggered by Israel's ongoing genocide.
A mass murder of innocent Australians at the beach, on the other side of the globe. All because Israel is annihilating a terrorist organization that invaded their borders two years ago in order to rape and murder hundreds of civilians.
Yeah... Fuck those guys.
If Israel were only targeting a terrorist org, nobody would have a problem.
Kids aren't terrorists.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-palestinian-children-killed-idf-israel-war
“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.”
The difference being that the Russian army doesn't hide in and amongst their civilian population. Hamas does and has built their infrastructure under the whole bloody Gaza strip.
Hamas brought this upon their population through their past and present actions.
That doesn't excuse snipers from shooting kids in the head and chest. That's not collateral damage, that's intentional. And they BRAG about it.
A terrorist organisation and every other living thing in the area. So noble....
That's what happens when the terror organization uses its population as human shields. So fucking noble.
Justifies genocide does it?
What about the “terrorists” in the Warsaw Ghetto? What would you have advocated be done to them. And their kids. And those who look like them.
History is not a serving suggestion.
Oh, you're for real an Israel apologist. I for a second thought you might just be naive, but no, it's much worse. You're a genocide supporter.
I'm no apologist, just a normal Israeli that knows what's really going on less than 20km from my home and hasn't been totally brainwashed by the media.
Israel is built on hideous racist militant principals. You have fallen for it hook line and sinker. Don’t condescend to cast aspersions on others’ ability to see through propaganda.
What's going on close to your home does not absolve Israel from committing war crimes for the last 30 years.
Oh so you aren't discounting the hypothesis... You are denying a genocide.
That's much worse. :(
Israeli propaganda is a disease, please get well soon.
You mean the same Israel that blames the Australian government? That Israel?
Yep, Israel is the real victim here. Go fuck yourself
Why are Israel like this man. Like someone kills a load of people who either have connections to Israel or follow the same faith, a heinous and abhorrent act against innocent people.
Yet Israel has to come out and mention Palestine and blame Australia seemingly based on no evidence whatsoever.
If one’s things certain we can’t know who did this right now. The right have hated Israel and Jews for as far as I can remember and the left is pissed off at Israel and some will conflate Israel with Jews.
As an avid supporter of Palestine and critic and Israel I want to say that not all Jews are responsible for the acts of its government just as not all Palestinians are supporters of Hamas.
Zionism is literally all about driving a wedge between communities.
No
Well that settles it then.
Bro - people hated Jews 3 years ago. Source: antisemitic slurs from the person trying to kill me. I never say this shit but touch some grass or get into therapy.
Isreal's genocide has dramatically changed opinions. I was always for Isreal; we American's love an underdog! Yeah, no longer. Now I say that Israel has forfeited their right to exist.
Now imagine all the people who hate Jews as an extension of Israeli policy. Fuck me, people hated the man who played Joffrey on Game of Thrones and Rose from Star Wars! It's less of a jump for such people to say, Israel evil -> Jews evil.
Bullshit. The number one cause of antisemitism is hateful assholes.
You are showing the abuser mentality by saying it's someone else's fault that abuse happens.
Stop rationalizing hatred. You're part of the problem.
