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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

So you don't want to root of the problem to be fixed?
Of course I do, and I've been rather vocal about it over the last 2 years.
When there is mass shooting in schools we discuss the root of the issue. When there is increase of violence we talk about how poverty etc. contribute to it . Only when there is a major massacre related to the colonization of Palestine that people feel like it's not the time to discuss the root of the issue
We can discuss the root cause of Israel causing targets to be set on innocent Jews (even if these actions that took place on Bondi Beach can never ever be justified).
But what I’m frankly seeing and it really disturbs me, is that pro-Palestinians here and on Reddit shifts the blame on Isreal in a different way. They call it psy-ops or false flag operation by Jews/Israel with no evidence whatsoever. I even got banned from their subreddit when I tried to push back against that narrative. That is honestly antisemitism in its purest form and not the type of discussion that should be had
Israel is like the boy who cried wolf. Israel ia lying all the time and did real false flags before like the king david hotel where they was disguised as arab workers and the lavon affair admited by israel former leaders. I don't believe this attack is a false flag but israel is creating with it behaviour many conspiracy theories.
I also heard more disgusting things from the zionist side like justifying kids murder and palestinian being arab colonizer which justify the ethenic cleansing
It could be interpreted as victim blaming in a way that talking about gun control following a school shooting cannot be.
The other side openly engages in that sort of mentality, and I aggressively condemn it.
A school shooting can also definitely be used for victim blaming. Nobody who victim blaming would preface his comment by expressing sympathy for the families of the victims
