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.
-
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 Gazans are in the same position as Ann Frank. Wtf.
The Gazans aren't the ones doing the defacement.
It only takes 1% idiots to give enough anecdotal ammunition for the other side. It's not the hard numbers that were ever in their favour anyway.
Exactly. Things like this happened many times in the past. And it could be that this was done by Zionists or Nazis to pin on pro-Palestinian activitists. Not saying that this is the case, but it is a possibility.
Yeah, but if you even mention false-flag conspiracies, you make it sound like you need them to have a point. We don't, that's just not what our larger movement is about regardless of who did it. There are Jews, like technically me, in it; it's not anti-Jewish.
Do you apply this same standard to the January 6th morons, or do you conveniently use their actions to paint everyone on the right as fascists and lunatics?
Don't be ridiculous, it's all their other actions that make me think conservatives are either fascists or morons.
The majority of Republicans, both voters and lawmakers, held the same beliefs as the rioters about the credibility of the election. I doubt the majority of people who are pro Palestine have much against Anne Frank, but you're free to do some of your own polling.
Personally, I don't think everyone on the (American) right are fascists and lunatics. It seems to be the dominant strain, but perhaps you can change my mind.
What percentage or Republicans would you say support the efforts of January 6th? I seem to remember that polling says the majority believe Trump won the election.
Exactly.
The news is portraying it like wow how could someone defile such a respectful thing
It is to make the message clear I dunno Anne Frank but I doubt she'd be cool with bombing Palestinians
i used to think any sane person would be; but i'm learning from this election cycle that they're minimize it as being a "single issue voter."
Just idiots, everyone involved. 🤦♂️
Hey! As an idiot, I resent that! I'm at least smarter than THAT!
This is more the work of the morons.
Kinda shows the stark contrast of how each are treated, especially with regards to the children.
Graffiti artists are often not well read
These days, Gaza is probably safer and more comfortable than a typical Nazi death camp.
Based on what? I'm in doubt.
wp:Auschwitz concentration camp#Death toll
Death toll is one thing. You could be housed at a luxury hotel as a death row inmate.
But the safety and living conditions is another thing.
Kids are starving and ridden with septic diseases in Gaza as well, and everyone is slowly dying with nobody coming to help. On paper it seems pretty close IMO. Sadly.
But who knows except those in the actual situation.
