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.
-
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.

Not really, there is a big difference between tying your own hands behind your back in a defense situation so as to satisfy the peanut gallery vs. Supplying weapons being used in an active war.
Netherlands isn't supplying Israel weapons (their courts banned it entirely) and they've found that Rafael's systems are the best choice, anything less is putting their own citizens at risk for optics. Militaries don't run on those kinds of optics nor should they.
Tank parts tested by genociding Palestinians.
Oh well that's ok then, as long as they are only funnelling money to the aggressor in an active war.
Ukraine is getting arms from Israel too. I assume you think that should also cease?
Other weapons suppliers exist. Including America.
Which, let's not kid ourselves, is way worse that Israel.
You seem to forget that lengthy period when congress held up sending American weapons to Ukraine.
The same period weapons to Israel were held up but still arrived in Israel.
Germany is always willing to sell weapons to Ukraine. Giving them away is a bigger ask.
There is much irony in Ukraine's support of Israel.
Well in that case I can see it is simply a scheme to support Ukraine by proxy through Israel and everyone should approve
If Europe is not armed to take on Russia, they could win in Ukraine and move on to other countries next. That was definitely Putin's original plan. He was ready to move in on Moldova.
Oppose war crimes, ethnic cleansing and potentially genocide = "satisfy the peanut gallery" and "optics".
There's something wrong with your moral compass, buddy.
