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.

You mean the Israeli government and Hamas, right? Or were you implying that Bibi is all of Israel, but Hamas is not the Palestinians with a straight face? I hope Bibi and his henchmen are tried and convicted at the ICC just like Hamas and it's henchmen as well!
Edit to clarify: Bibi is NOT Isreal. Hamas is NOT the Palestinians.
Israel=The Israeli govt. in basically every conversation within this context. Trying to say "but both right?!" When that's what everyone has been saying from the start, makes you look like you're acting in bad faith.
I'm only answering b/c I can't tell if you're serious, but on the off chance you are and care then it's worth the effort.
NO Israel doesn't automatically equate to their government in these conversations all over Lemmy. If you are assuming it does, and butting heads with people (or agreeing with people), it could be one of the causes of misunderstanding or disagreement. I'm not being sarcastic, not trying to pick a fight. Just letting you know that assumption could cause great issue when you're being reasonable and talking to someone else reasonable.
Bad actors have a hard-on for generalizing and using it as a weapon, ESPECIALLY Hamas=Palestinians, and Israel=Jews=All Israelis. And it does nothing but disservice to anybody attempting to legitimately discuss and communicate.
I'll ignore your implication.
That you're an Israeli shill? I was trying to be nice about it, guess not. See how I use Israeli to refer to people? Since it's Israeli citizens who lose because of an extremist Israel? Hamas are terrorists, Israel is an apartheid state. The citizens both groups have control over are suffering and your trying to conflate denouncing Israel and antisemitism. Stop.
