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.

What a sick and vile thing to say. This whole post is full of people celebrating Iran killing a kid and blaming it on Israel. It's not that kid's fault that Israel is killing other children.
What the fuck are you smoking?
One person said a Ukrainian kid dying is just as sad as a Palestinian kid dying, and you think that is a sick and vile thing to say? How incredibly racist are you?
I'm not being racist. Everyone here commenting is using these news to pass a political message. "Well, Israel shouldn't have attacked." "What about children in Gaza?" "Oh, so this kid is more important than others being killed by Israel." Like, wtf is wrong you all you people to band up together to someway blame this kid for what Israel is doing? It all comes down to politics for you in the end. This kid had nothing to do with Israel politics, she was just trying to get a chance to live like everyone else in the world, even you yourselves! It's like a school bus crashes in China and you'll comment "Guess is not worse than Gaza, so... who cares?" So please, continue to politicise every aspect of life.
Congrats on missing the point completely.
This story is a hit piece to make Iran look bad. You think it's a human interest piece to make people feel sad for an awful thing that happened to a young girl. It's not. It's about making Islamic countries look bad for attacking a poor white girl who was just trying to get healthy. It conveniently ignores where and why Iran attacked and what Israel has been doing to get attacked. It completely ignores all relevant context behind the story. It completely ignores the dozens of kids that are getting killed by Israel on a daily basis. THAT is why people are bringing it up.
And two things in response to this particular post by you: 1) Nobody is blaming this kid. Do you not understand written English? Not one single person said it was the kid's fault for dying. 2) Nobody would bring up Gaza in a story about a school bus in China because China isn't out there murdering dozens of Gazans on a daily basis. This is a story about Israel being attacked, so it is relevant to bring up how Israel is attacking multiple countries.
We all feel sad that a little girl died. But this story was a political story masquerading as something else. You fell for it.
And you are choosing to ignore that Ukraine is being bombed daily by Iranian Shahed drones for several years now. So you are missing the point too. What harm did Ukraine do to Iran?
Are the people celebrating the death of this kid in the room with us?
How is it sick and vile to say all kid deaths are equally sad? I would think that it is more sick and vile to think that a kid's death is worse than other kids' deaths because of where those kids are from. There is no blame here but against those who don't speak up against war mongerers and people who willingly serve them.
