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.

People frequently feel emboldened to celebrate murder when the people being murdered are Jews.
So, not because of a long history of brutality towards the Palestinian people, but because they're Jewish? GFTO with that nonsense.
The conflict has been raging for a long time. So have many other conflict. Nobody defends attacks on civilians anywhere else in the world; only when the victims are Jewish.
This is bullshit, I'm afraid. I haven't seen single comment here supporting an attack on Israel civilians. Stop gaslighting.
There are like twelve people here. This person doesn't seem too torn up, but you want support, you want celebration.
Obviously, people in Palestine are celebrating the attacks, but let's forget about them.
Mia Kalifa is not only celebrating the attack, but retweeting a good dozen other people who are doing the same, each of whom seem to be getting plenty of attention: https://nitter.net/miakhalifa
I'm trying not to expose myself to much more, but if you really want me to subject myself to people reveling in the murder of my people, I'll go look.
Maybe it's a Lemmy issue but your first link appears to be to a post you made.
As to your second link, that's just to an account, I'm not going to scroll through pages and pages of comments.
If this is the best you can come up with, you've just proved my point so please, stop gaslighting.
The first thing is a lemmy issue, for sure. I was linking to the comment suggesting that it's okay to murder Israeli civilians because they're all "Nazis."
And, ugh, it's most of Khalifa's tweets, but fine:

That enough for you?
First link, "Can someone please tell the freedom fighters in Palestine to flip their phones and film horizontal"
That's it?
Why waste my time?
You initially asserted that people on this site were celebrating the death of Jewish civilians. You've let to provide a shred of evidence.
No, that's the first link, which helps establish their pattern of gleefully celebrating these attacks.
You asked for more evidence, I gave it, you ignored almost all of it. Now you can fuck off.
I clicked your first link, which turned out to be bullshit, why would I waste my time with the rest?
You got caught in a lie, hence your pissy reaction. Try and be better.
If anybody actually wants to see any evidence, you can feel free to check out the evidence I've provided.
but this asshole is obviously getting blocked.
Oh no. Wait. Please come back. 🤣
That entire fucking account is full of propaganda and gaslighting. No need to scroll through pages, just read the top 10 bullshits on there.
Assuming you're referring to the Mia Khalifa account (whoever she is), I did. Can you quote any comment in particular?
Extrapolating being anti-Israel to being anti-Judaism is ignorant.
People oppose North Korea. Nobody revels in the slaughter of North Korean civilians. Nobody celebrates the killing of civilians anywhere except Israel. There's a reason.
By the way, they're constantly using anti-semitic tropes to do it.
North Korea wasnt artificially planted on land that wasn't theirs less than a hundred years ago, terrible comparison.
Neither was Israel. Israel retook its homeland from British colonizers through a conflict with the British, the Jordanians, and another group of Arabs (the word "Palestinian" at the time referred to everybody who happened to live there, not particularly to the Arab subgroup it refers to today). It was not planted, it was liberated by its indigenous people.
Nope, its indigenous people were the arabs who happened to live there for hundreds of years previously.
