A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

The IPC, (the people responsible for tracking and declaring famines), have released a report saying this is going to get very bad very quickly if aid isn't allowed in.
This is entirely avoidable and creating a famine is not in anyone's textbook of legitimate military strategies.
Well in the medieval textbooks it was a valid strategy....
But this is horrific and along the lines of torture. Genocide and death by forced starvation are disgusting, despicable things that should not be happening in this modern era.
Netanyahu... or however you spell his name... will go down in history next to Hitler, sadly, and the Biden administration supporting this genocide is on the wrong side of history.
Even with all this said, I'm probably still voting for Biden in 2024. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨

Embracing medievalism to own the heretics.
"The womb of the woman will be our strongest weapon against the Zionists!"
Seems to be a humanitarian crisis of their own doing....
Imagine if all their concrete and rebar had gone to actual humanitarian projects instead of tunnels and bases to conduct terrorism from...

Houthis saying the exact same thing as the traffic through the Suez declines by 82%
Yes, that would be the perspective of someone who has no issue with terrorism being used to achieve political goals.
I'm sure you also believe that the far right is fully within it's rights to kidnap senators and storm capitols?

Apparently you can sponsor a missile strike on behalf of the Israeli government in Gaza.
I’m sure you also believe that the far right is fully within it’s rights to kidnap senators and storm capitols?
They've gone far beyond that. Just this week, a team of IDF gunmen broke into a hospital and shot the place up because it hosted injured Palestinian politicians.
Hahahaha "Palestinian politicians" as if Israel isn't fully within it's rights to take military action against foreign militants that perpetrate terror against civilians.
Funny, because that was the exact same attitude the Russians had when they began bombing Ukraine.
There's a 10-story tall billboard of Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu shaking hands, adoring the Likud Party HQ in Tel Aviv and I can't help but notice their friendship has lead to some enormous overlap on attitudes toward recalcitrant neighbors.
When you've got the Israel Defense Minister calling residents of his country "human animals" and Israeli assassins shooting up hospitals and a the Israeli air force launching rocket strikes aimed on ambulances, its abundantly clear who the terrorists are.
