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.
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.

I think Israel is the only country in the world that is legally allowed to publicly kidnap people in a different country with no warrant.
Can you imagine the outrage and the immediate action if Iran or Russia sent agents to kidnap people in Greek territory?
Bruh the US recently kidnapped the goddamn president of a sovereign country
Can you imagine the outrage and immediate action if Russia kidnapped children from East Ukraine.
That are war crimes done during an invasion, kidnapping citizens from another country while in another country is a different thing.
Even if they were terrorists on a wanted list (they weren't), the right course of action is to flag the local authorities and ask them to arrest, not send the army to invade and kidnap.
I don't have to imagine because the outrage exists and the west is punishing Russia for it while claimed to be outraged about Israel's actions but have a normal relation with it.
And you call that "immediate action"? I'm fine with you having opinions about countries, but don't act as if you're being impartial and logical about it.
You are projecting. It is you who is imperial and hypocritical sbout it
It is not legal even when all countries let it happen
USA?!
no USB. Is there another US?
I mean "Israel" being the proxy for USA.
Fun fact: cracks are showing in the IDF, and Israeli political elites are already demanding a new draft code that includes the currently excluded Ultra Orthodox Jews., which is political suicide.
Here's hoping the entire state collapses asap and these genocidal freaks are sent to the Hague
Why arent we just swarming them with drones carrying aid?
It is morally acceptable to beat Israelis to a pulp.
High seas piracy, followed by false imprisonment for things that arent crimes, and rape and beating of the detainees. And the US and EU countries whose citizens were abused and raped say and do nothing at all about it. But if you complain too loudly about it you're being antisemitic, which is evidently the worst thing you can be.
