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.

Europe should let go of some territory to relocate israel. The whole problem started cuz of europe's antisemitism, they should pay for it. Besides, europe needs educated people who can work, who's better than 'imported europeans' from palestine?
And europe would further benefit from IDF's strong military capability against russia. Iron dome, david sling and others would be defending against russia drones that keep coming into EU territory.
This would also mean that european nations won't have to spend so much money for militarization thus it would boost EU economy.
And we shouldn't forget, israelis also look european so chances of racial clashes would be low + plus EU countries have been educating themselves about anti-semitism for generations.
This would literally solve all of the problems.
Israelis wouldn't just agree to up and move en masse. A major part of the issue is that all three Abrahamic religions claim to have a divine right to that specific land.
What happens when someone overstay their visa in any country? They get deported forcefully. Why would it be any different here?
And those 3 religions lived in peace for generations there before israeli state.
Palestine is not a religion issue, its a colonial one
I believe the IDF's "military capability" is largely subsidized by the US sending nearly-unconditional aid, and because of their ideology riling them up for their chance to shoot civilians during their stint in military service.
I do think forcing the West to bear arbitrary reorganization of their borders, for once, would be "funny." But who is going to force them to when neither the Israelis nor any European country would want that? The West could have enforced the Israeli project on the Middle East (even if Zionists weren't salivating for the chance to colonize the area) in lieu of Jewish support.
We divest and sanction the state of israel, like we did with apartheid South Africa.
By we, I mean the world, but I believe it is important, for a myriad of reasons, that the US be the one to immediately begin and lead this charge.
