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.

Condemning Iran because of attacking back but when Israel does it - it suppose to be okay?
Double standards.
Most (if not all) are hypocrites and cannot talk about “human rights” anymore. None of these presidents care about human rights. They only care when it is in their own benefit.
No, you are wrong. The EU condemned the atack on the embassy in Damascus, see link
"BRUSSELS, April 3 (Reuters) - The European Union on Wednesday condemned an airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1 that killed seven people and called on countries in the region to show restraint."
Please respond in an informed way, instead of escalating things without any basis. Let's stay on topic.
I honestly did not know that, thank you. Can’t keep up with all the news while life goes on.
But did they do anything beyond empty words? Or did they keep supplying arms to Israel knowing that Israel will keep doing what it's been doing?
The UN is toothless, and the few times it has intervened in geopolitical conflicts, it generally did not end well for anyone.
So this is more the EU going, "Can everybody stop trying to kill each other for five minutes?" rather than them taking sides
Lemmites aren't going to let facts get in the way of a good circlejerk.
Ah, I see a Redditor infiltrated with their random comments. Hi there.
That's very rich after your original comment.
I don’t understand what you mean and I honestly don’t care. It unfortunately seems, I’ll have to block you.
Spread misinformation and then block those who call you out.
Peak fediverse
That trick might work when people aren’t willing to admit they’re wrong, but not this time
Looking through the rest of this thread shows there's a lot of people unwilling to admit they're wrong.
