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.

America has been getting played by Israel since the 40s
And what does everyone think of America with Trump as their leader 😆😅. Entitled, ignorant cunt!!
B!tch f!ght
He's right. I used to think of Israel as just another country, and now I regard them the same way I regard North Korea.
Something something both sides the exact same
Netanyahu turned Israel into Israpel.
isn'trael
It's just a minor crisis, he'll forgive him.
In what has been described as one of the worst calls between the two, Trump “steamrolled” Netanyahu, a US official said, and Netanyahu responded with “OK, OK just make sure everything is taken care of”.
It's the Reagan moment where he figured out that he could tell them to stop for whatever they were doing and they stopped. Trump cares a lot about what people think. I would love it if he finds israel too toxic to support and cuts them off.
Baby throws tantrum.
Can we get a conservative to translate?
fox, newsmax, oan, and many right wing pundits will not even report on this.
And it won't matter as long as Israel receives money and support from the US.
And I doubt the US will ever stop.
And I doubt the US will ever stop.
naah there's legitimate reason to believe that they will stop
for one, israel has mostly existed to pressure arab countries into giving the US oil. because no modern society functions without a lot of energy. now with renewable energy, that's significantly less important so i don't see why the US would go through all these hassles just to get energy.
The USA has literally funded terrorist groups aka "freedom fighters" such as the IRA, the Taliban, and the Contras around the world for decades. Supporting a nuclear powered rogue state is nothing new unfortunatly
Well... none of those are nuclear powered rogue states, so maybe somewhat new
Isreal is the best way to funnel billions of dollars back to American defense companies, of course it's not going to stop.
hasnt that been going on for decades. other convoluted ways is defense tech pipeline from universities that help israel down the line(tech degrees, engineering etc). its to FUND specifically POLITICIANS, which they cant just skim like PUTIN does with RUSSIA. Hakeem, slotkin, SCHUMER, FETTERMAN are recieving end of these funds.
It also directly goes to politicians through AIPAC
He was told that Iran would fold quickly and it would be an easy win for his ego. It’s not happening, and even Fox News can’t sugarcoat the fuel crisis for months and months.
probably suggested by NETANYAHU, if you dont want these epstein files to be released, distract the public by attacking iran, and also benefiting us by giving us aid.
I remember reading a news article about Lindsey Graham who aggressively pushed Trump to attack Iran, while traveling to Israel to get "coached" on how to sell this.
Republican U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has been exposed by the Wall Street Journal for "coaching" a foreign leader on how to influence Donald Trump.
The WSJ ahead of the weekend published a story called, "Lindsey Graham's Quest to Sell Trump on Striking Iran." In that piece, there is a nugget about the senator engaging in a campaign to help Netanyahu to persuade Trump to launch an Iran war. [...]
"To help make the case on Iran, Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks, meeting with members of the country's intelligence agency," the Journal reported Friday. [...]
The report further states, "He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, coaching him on how to lobby the president for action. Netanyahu showed the president intelligence that persuaded Trump to go ahead, Graham said." (source: msn, mention WSJ article, archived WSJ article)
Honestly, the fact the Graham openly talks about this is just insane. I guess this shit isn't illegal, nor does it make people question you...
Now he's looking at Cuba for his 'win'.
Cuba was being planned well before the Iran War started.
You thought gas prices are bad? Just wait until sugarcane sugar skyrockets!
We don’t use any of that commie sugar in the US, all corn squeezins baybee
Don't forget beets!
Leftover beet squeezings make great cow feed
How about instead of Cuba you invade Israel Mr President? Now that would be something no president world ever have done. You would surely go down in history! I'm sure we can also come up with some kind of biggest penis peace prize for you.
And what, make it the 51st state? ☹️
We can keep it a territory, that's fine. They don't need to vote.
Besides, enforcing the Civil Rights act on them would be a delight to see.
No, the 52nd. The idea of a 51st state is ruined forever, we should just skip that number. Plus then it makes it real easy to split the states up into soccer teams
Can't argue with this logic.
Now they can get representation in congress without the exorbitant bill they usually have to pay.
👐the best state👐
This article is thinly veiled pro-trump propoganda.
And it works because Biden is a zionist piece of shit who also belongs in prison.
For once, he's not wrong. Though the exact same could be said about him & USA.
Wow, a rare moment of clarity for Trump?
people with dementia to a get an air of clarity before falling back into dementia.
It's an unsourced alleged phone call from a British rag. I'm really not holding my breath on this one
If it makes you feel better, it's not originally from a British rag, it's actually from White House mouthpiece Barak Ravid at Axios! The same "reporter" who's been edging the public for months about an Iran agreement being imminent to help manipulate the market every few days. So I'm sure it's true :)
One hundred thousand toddlers pointing to a lion, rhino, camel
"Lian...... Whino..... Camal!"
"Oh my god! This is the test Obama and Biden couldn't do. My kid will be President some day!"
Yeah, Benny is crazy. Literally everyone with basic cognitivity knows this. And for quite a long time. Those that support him are smart enough to have a money play from it and with their own disorders allowing for it, mainly psychopathy.
But, instead.. "That is indeed a camel, sir. Einstein would blush... No, sir, you aren't related to him and- .... oh, of course, sir........ Well, now we know who came up with camels as the name. Uncle Einstein's finest work, sir."
