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.
-
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.

The idea might have been that if people actually start a revolution, the Iranian oligarchs would also be ousted, Hamas would stop receiving funding, leading to their collapse and a stabilization of Palestinian political movements that are not as extreme...
Can't have that. So bomb the crap out of civilian targets to unite the Iranian people under the next Ayatollah - despite how oppressive and awful his regime is - to kickstart Iranian hatred for the west again, so things can return to status quo.
"Mission accomplished", Netenyahu will say, cradling a cognac in his hand while sitting on a throne made out of the bones of dead Palestinians.
Trump will just be confused and frustrated, but he's an idiot and a Muppet in this case, so it stands to reason.
Absolutely not, Iranians were cheering when the guy died. Bombs fall and they cheer. There's no way people who do that will suddenly ally with the regime again.
what do you think hamas exist because of iran? no dumbass, hamas exist because constant aparthied and genocide inflicted by the illegal israeli state and resistance will existence until zionists ethnically cleanse palestinians or palestine gets liberated
You are a zionist if you dont support armed resistance
Who promoted Hamas into power in the 2010s? Answer: Netenyahu! And who has funded them? Answer: Iranian oligarchs!
Put it all together, and what do you get? Geo political theater - that Palestinians suffer and die for every day. In fact, most of Hamas are Palestinians, but mostly just the grunts who have to fight and die for the wants of old men.
And who said I was against armed resistance, numbnuts? I'm for an actual legitimate Palestinian sovereign force - and Hamas ain't it, chief. There are vying factions in Gaza, one of them being Hamas, and I think they should combine forces, because it's like a micro balkanization sort of deal between them. They should form a new PLO of sorts.
But hey, I guess nuance ain't your thing, with your one track, "two things can't be true at the same time" mind.
Go back to TikTok. I'm sure they appreciate your dog water takes there.
