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.

Produce any media where she even hinted at having a different Gaza policy.
Israel started the genocide early after Oct 7, it's not escalated. They're already leveled over 80% of Gaza and destroyed every hospital and piece of infrastructure under Biden.
Tell me, how is that at all different from Trump's current policy?
Edit: for the down voters, I don't care. My point is made by you not being able to do anything other than down vote. You know I'm right and that makes you mad. No media exists which will absolve Kamala on Israel.
i don't remember hearing Harris say anything about bulldozing Gaza and building a beach resort
Here's one of her staffers explaining the difference, since the difference is so fucking hard for certain people to comprehend. It wasn't going to be fantastic, but I stand by my statement that only absolute fucking morons think they would have been the same. Because those people can't understand there are shades of awful or the difference between bad, and fucking gone.
That mentality is the textbook definition of cutting your nose off to spite your face. Voting for Kamala was attempting stem the bleeding, and people decided to cut a limb off instead. It's a shame that so many more people are going to suffer for their choice. And I really hope the naked fascism that these people directly contributed to via tacit support (thanks non voters!) isn't as bad as it will be, all because they wanted to play purity politics.
Former staffer that resigned because of the Gaza policy and was not involved in the 2024 election.
From the article, since you didn't bother to read.
And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you'd bother to read the article, you'd see she even supported the uncommitted movement, which guess who the protest voters were?
You are struggling to square away that I have empathy and understand why people couldn't stomach Harris. Stop calling people "morons" because they can't as easily justify genocide as you can.
Also do note that rather than addressing my challenge, you proved my point. Harris had identical Gaza policies to Biden and the only reason to vote for her was the fact that there were some pro Palestinian Democrats. You vote for her not because she's better in Gaza, but out of the hope that members of her caucus could moderate her position.
Really fucking rich accusing me of not reading the article when you stopped reading as soon as your opinion was validated.
From the article, since you didn't bother to read to the end:
And yeah, I 100% agree with the author. Her position is and remains mine. If you'd bother to read the whole article, you'd see that she's telling you not to take the path you did.
This is why I said what I said, and chose not to respond to anything else.
I think it's more regarding their lack of ability to see nuance. If your choices are genocide and genocide lite, yeah, they're both fucking bad, but maybe with lite, we can have more time to effect real change vs Trump, under whom we are guaranteed to see absolutely no change in a positive direction. I'd rather take 1% over 0%.
There is no genocide lite. It's just genocide with better marketing.
How about calling it genocide vs even-more-genocide? Does that make the distinction any clearer between the choices that were available? Whether we like it or not (and I'm 100% in the latter group) 'no genocide' was not on the menu
Don't get me wrong, I'm disgusted by the state of politics in this country, and would not have voted for Kamala had there been any other person on the ballot that had a realistic choice of winning. But the choice was what we had, and we knew the outcome was going to be bad but workable or fucking awful naked fascism. And so many people chose fucking awful naked fascism in the face of not being able to hold up their moral purity, and now make arguments like she would have done all the awful shit that trump was telling us he was going to do.
That's why I said what I said. And if you actually read the article I linked above instead of taking what the other user cherry picked out, you'll see that even the staffer who left because of Gaza said we should have voted for her for basically the reason of what we're seeing happen.
You're not wrong, by all means. Either way you also need to be doing anything you can like protesting in the streets, boycotting anything that supports Israel, and support organizations that help Palestine. But I'd rather buy time for there to still be a Gaza to fight for, personally.
That is some heavy copium your on buddy. You might want to step down on your doses before you do permanent damage.
My position has been rock solid through the entire election. Feel free to look through my past comments.
The only ones coping are you guys that are just becoming aware of genocide because Trump is also supporting it.
Keep getting mad and ignoring anyone who doesn't 100% carry water for Democrats. I'm sure that will continue to be electorially successful.
