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.

And the US government is made up of who? Elected by who? For the presumed benefit of who?
criminals and traitors
less than 37% of the American population
Israel? Russia? China? It's not Americans, that's for sure. have you seen what's happening in the US?
Benefit the already wealthy too. Too many people didn't vote and fell for their mindless tiktok propaganda, which will happen again, used for more bad, to benefit the wealthy.
If that's true it kinda makes it seem the rest of you are fucking useless.
you're not wrong there.
20% refused to vote because they said Harris would kill Palestinians.
another 10% voted for 3rd party for the same reason.
the remainder tried to perform damage control and voted Harris.
🤷 then you have musk potentially attacking electronic voting machines and allegedly changing votes.
so yeah, it's difficult to blame any one group when they were all manipulated by criminals and traitors.
This other dude here just claimed Biden / Kamala was worse justified ENTIRELY by the destruction of buildings, absolutely refusing to look at the statistics showing killings accelerated rapidly when Trump took power.
He genuinely believes Trump stopped Israel from bombing in Gaza, the same Trump who joined Netanyahu in a joint war against Iran to kill even more civilians and refuse to take action against them bombing civilians in Lebanon
The pro-Trump fake activists are pure evil
Prove that harris would not allow israel to kill Palestinians with American weapons and under usa diplomatic protection
You really want Republicans to keep winning, don't you.
You do by not admitting mistakes
I don't have to prove anything. clearly the outcome is worse than anything that could have happened.
False. In term of gaza the amount of destruction and murder of Palestinians slowed down.
Fact 1 : most of the destruction was happened during Biden , if trump was worse than Biden Gaza would already be emptied of Palestinians Fact 2 : Kamala Harris said she will not change anything in Biden policies towards Gaza and Israel
70% of all structures in Gaza were damaged or destroyed
92% of all housing units destroyed or damaged
88% of school buildings were damaged or destroyed
80% of key water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) facilities
Only 16 out of 36 hospitals were partially functioning, facing critical shortages of fuel, medicine, and clean water.
75% of agricultural land, including orchards and greenhouses, was damaged or destroyed

You deny reality and you will likely ignore everything i said in this comment .
Edit: Also Kamala praised trump's palestinian surrender plan . https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5554428-trump-administration-israel-hamas-agreement/
You're intentionally refusing to compare actual results, and you think Kamala's worst politician's habit of acting diplomatic when it doesn't fit means much.

Who was president from January 2025!?!?!? Are more deaths not worse? Is a faster rate of killing not worse?
You damned rube think buildings are worth more than lives

Trump does not owe as much to the 2026 slowdown of attacks in Palestine since Israel just redirected that to Iran and Lebanon, WITH YOUR SUPPORT
That's just killing different people, that's not being an ally you monster.

You're either blind or a liar. You either hate the real progressivists, or you actually just hate Palestinians and pretend the opposite.
There are 73,462 Palestinians killed. At least over 45,000 were during Biden. Trump has been in power for 589 days, from the start of the genocide to the last day in office. Biden was there for 471 days. Facts show that Biden was worse both in terms of people killed and Gaza's destruction.
The Lebanese half-baked ceasefire happened during Biden; Israel did not abide by it, and Biden did nothing to punish Israel for the breach. Harris did not promise to block weapons and money from Israel. They are allowing Israel to do what Trump said: finishing the job.
With this, any president can block all shipments to Israel since it is committing a genocide of extermination. There are zero excuses not to use it, whether it is Trump, Harris, or Biden.
In my country, we are taught to support Palestine from a very young age. At the age of 12, I already was protesting the colonization of Palestine by the terrorist state of Israel.
Biden waited till the last minute to announce a ceasefire in Gaza. He could have made one a long time ago, but no, he blamed Hamas for the failure while it was Israel who refused. Hamas suggested releasing the hostages since day one. Biden holds full responsibility for the genocide; Trump holds full responsibility for allowing Israel to continue the genocide.

Harris is pro-Trump regarding Gaza; she praised the plan of surrender for Gaza.
Are you serious? People without houses in winter can die from hypothermia. We are also talking about destroyed hospitals, the destruction of 85% of agricultural fields creating famine. If you don't care about Gaza, please don't talk about Gaza and pretend that you care. How can you claim to be a supporter of Palestinians with all your apologia and not think it is a big deal that most Palestinians are stripped of their fundamental right to housing and dignity?
This is not true; it slowed down because of Trump's selfishness he wants to make money from Gaza while Biden was okay with the genocide because he is an imperialist who said if Israel didn't exist, he would try to create one, resulting in the same outcome as today. But at the end of the day, most of the killing and destruction happened during Biden. Biden would have allowed Israel to attack Iran, too. You Biden and Harris defenders have zero issue with the war except that it was going to be bad for America. You don't care about the hundred girls murdered by your country or the excess deaths caused by sanctions under both Democrats and Republicans.
You are only against imperialism when the Republicans do it; you are fine when Democrats do it. You refer to American terrorists as service members.
Before you falsely accuse me of being a Trump supporter again, Trump is still responsible for the war of aggression on Iran.
