A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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.

"declared that “all Lebanon must burn” shortly after four Israeli soldiers were killed in a fight with Hezbollah."
Look, nobody wants their people getting killed, but here's a wild idea... Get your people the fuck out of Lebanon!
You can't invade another country then bitch about your forces being resisted.
Yeah, this never occurred to our leaders here in the US during the War on Terror either, and they warmongering in seven countries at once. It can get a whole lot worse, but I hope that doesn't happen.
Oh no, he was slammed??! Was he also owned, sent a message, taken to task, and other things that mean someone said something that he ignored and went right back to what he was doing?
tldr; I'm so tired of these Wrestlemania headlines of completely consequence free replies to people being terrible. Wake us when any bad person experiences anything approaching accountability.
But he was blasted, I tell you! Roasted, totally torn apart!
That's what Netanyahu and all the major opposition of him also want
Based on the polling I've seen, I have zero doubt the majority of Israelis would approve of mass murdering their adversaries in gas chambers, and with zero self-awareness of how their psychopathy is identical to the nazis.
Right now they are all hyped up about nooses and lynching. But this is after having engaged in one of the most concentrated military campaigns in human history against a largely civilian population.
Israel does not have a right to exist.
Israel has a right to go fuck itself right in the ass with a grenade launcher.
Why? Israel's the one killing all their neighbors.
I hate that human beings like this exist.
It's a literal bonfire of the vanities. The bigotry, the smugness, and the violence are all part of a self-mythologizing narrative used to build support for increasingly awful people. Guys like Ben-Gvir are in power precisely because they're the biggest assholes the country has to offer. They draw in other assholes like a magnet and build a movement based on that collective awfulness, even as their country self-destructs and takes out every neighbor in a 500 mile radius.
Imagine a colony of narcissts with a victim complex who are granted complete immunity for their actions and you end up with Israel.
Damn, I'd love to smack that stupid smile from his face.
Off with his head already
He was slammed.
16 feet, announcers table, something something.
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that Ben Gvir will ever experience hell in a cell.
Remember that the Greater Israel Project is about the chosen ones owning most of the land in the Middle East and genociding the current occupants. Palestine is the most immediate goal of the project, but the Lebanese, Syrians, Iraqis, Egyptians, etc. are also part of the plan.
More proof that there will be a peace treaty any day now!
What's with the quotes? He is a psychopath. It's not up for a discussion
“You are a psychopath and one of the greatest threats to the security of Israel and of Jewish people around the world,” journalist Yashar Ali wrote in response to Ben-Gvir.
It's in quotes because it's a quote.
Why is „psychopath” put in quotes?
