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.

it's sad to already see so much anti-Semitism here. I hoped that part would stay on reddit....
Israel ≠ Judaism
I am allowed to hate a militaristic ethnostate oppressing people based on their religion and ethnicity while still liking the Religion they one-sidedly claim to represent.
This may be a bit far stretched, but:
In my Opinion, you further antisemitism.
By directly linking Israel and Judaism to each other, you make Judaism and Jews everywhere, a religion and its followers, responsible for the Actions of Israel, a Political Entity.
I really can't stress this enough: Israel ≠ Judaism.
This is exactly the Narrative that anti-Semites want to push. Taking the wrongdoings of a extremist religious state as an example why the whole religion is rotten
And lastly i want to make a thought Experiment with you:
If you were a Jew, would you leave your entire Live, everything you built, all the friends you have, behind you, just to go to some middle-eastern county, just because it is a religious state of your religion?
I certainly would not. And I'm sure most other people would not. The only People that would are religious fanatics.
And as such, it is unfair to all the normal Jews to make them responsible for what Israel, a Country where the religious fanatics and extremists go, does with its neighbours.
So i will ask you one last time: please don't link Judaism and Jews with what Israel does.
They are two completely separate entities.
I also wouldn't like to be made responsible for all the wrongdoings of the Pope.
Yeah I feel the same way. I feel the need to explain so much but really just can't be bothered
Lol supporting the poor ethnic group getting borderline exterminated by a western aligned and supported military fascist theocracy. Yeah. Super rasist towards the jews.
What a joke you and any other Isreal supporting nazis are
Yeah nazis. Fooking nazis through and through
