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.

That hamas is cancer and Palestine will never be truly free under them?
Oh yeah absolutely, but they'll never be free under the Israeli boot either, and at least Hamas's boot won't starve the whole damn place to death.
I don't see why, in a world in which the UN, who literally created the State of Israel of thin air, exists, we have to assume that, within or outside of the Palestinian population, Hamas is the only possible interlocutor for Israel.
This is a huge assist to Netanyahu.
That's because almost no established government is willing to support armed resistance against Israel. Dialogue will not save Palestine.
I have the impression you are envisioning a much more violent response to Israel than what is needed or would be actually favorable for the Palestinian population.
Remember that Israel is nothing without what the US and Germany, mainly, provided for decades.
I'm not sure what you mean; what situation are you talking about here? Because under the current status quo Palestinians only have one means of resistance and that's violence.
Palestinians do, maybe. But the International Community should act to contain that instinct and provide an alternative.
This is not a war to be fought in Gaza, there you can have only massacre.
This war is to be fought in each and every country that deals or passively observes the massacre.
Absolutely, but it's because the international community is colossally dropping the ball there that Palestinians have to resort to violence. I mean if you look at the timeline of these things you'll notice that the anti-Zionist movement in the West pretty much only appreciably expands when Israel wages "war" in Gaza; this isn't a war to be fought in Gaza but nothing short of wholesale slaughter of Palestinians is enough to keep the world's eyes on the region for more than five minutes.
The "international community" is actively supporting this genocide and attacking the many people trying to resist: aid works, ICC, etc.
We are the International community just as much as our Governments, if not more.
Zios are still nuclear terrorists even without US and Germany.

The UN didn't steal the land and commit genocide. That's pure zionism.
It was passively enabled though.
I actually can't tell you which one is worse if someone asked me that question. Israel is definitely trying to make nazis proud, but at least they would not personally execute my whole family just because I'm not a muslim who listens to music.
One personally wants to kill me, other one is doing the killings already
While they're victims, obviously everyone including me leans towards giving Hamas benefit of doubt, but I feel like if roles would be reversed, you'd see a genocide on the levels not redditors could even defend it
Note that I'm not talking about Palestinians, but Hamas, which is a different breed
Man, they are literally executing anyone they see for just existing in Gaza. Americans, health workers, ambulances. They literally said that babies born in Gaza are already terrorists. They make prisoners confess that they are Hamas by threatening to drone their whole family. So yes, they do execute your whole family just because they live there.
I'm genuinely not aware of most things you mentioned, but to be fair I live in east Europe and my head is full with Russian invasion right now
Then maybe you should not speak of something you don't know or care about and focus on what is going on around you especially the part where "Israel votes against UN motion condemning Russian invasion of Ukraine"
So you can tell who is worse in this situation? The genocidal invaders, right?
Not much difference.
Who is worse: the people committing genocide or the people suffering from it? It's not a complicated.
Gaza already has Christians so clearly they're not executing people just for not being model Muslims.
That is simply not based in reality. Hamas does some horrid things don't get me wrong, but they're fundamentally an authoritarian state rather than a genocidal state.
And we never saw one turning into the other when authority struggled?
Yes. The zio regime turned genocidal almost immediately upon its inception. It was always the explicit plan.
Mostly no? Struggling authoritarian states seek, among other things, war, but they do not as a rule commit genocide. That's mostly a fascist thing.
So USSR under Stalin, Sudan, Myanmar, Rwanda, etc. they don't count?
The zio terror regime doesn't count?
I never said authoritarian states can't commit genocide, but rather that they usually don't use it as a way to support their regimes unless they turn fascist. The Holodomor was a way for Stalin to suppress Ukrainian independence, while the other three were long-running ethnic conflicts exacerbated by malicious and/or incompetent European decolonization.
Splitting hair imho
The point I'm trying to make is that Hamas won't turn to genocide simply to gain popularity (though I do expect quite a few massacres); either they'll do it even if they're popular or they won't even if they're unpopular, and I'm leaning towards the latter.
I also don't think that Hamas will commit genocide. They will commit, as usual, terrorist attacks and keeping them in power is instrumental to the genocide perpetrated by Israel.
They're not even a state but an anti-genocide resistance movement.
Zios have been invading Palestine, stealing land, and murdering people for more than a century.
Hamas is just the current excuse.
