What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Palestinians across the occupied West Bank observed a general strike on Wednesday in protest against a new Israeli law allowing the execution of prisoners, as international condemnation mounted.

Fatah, the movement led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, called for the strike, describing the legislation as a “dangerous escalation” against Palestinians.

“This criminal law will not break the will of our people or the determination of our prisoners, but will instead strengthen our resolve to continue the struggle for their freedom and legitimate rights,” it said in a statement.

The treatment is the same, Israel is definitely fascist.
I think the difference would be their long history of conflict, and especially suicide bombers, which killed

over 700 people between 1994 and 2005

What Israel is doing is definitely evil, but if you want to know how they got here, I think it's the people blowing up buses and cafes and such, for about 20 years...

If a group of thugs walked up your street, beat up every family, and said that everything you own is theirs now while the government looks the other way, what would you do?

Probably just strap a bomb to my chest and blow up their wives and children?
I assume you're trying to say that suicide bombers were a good and justified idea?
I would want to kill that "group of thugs" too... Absolutely.
Israel is completely in the wrong and has been ever since it was created.
Don't twist my words.
I don't think that blowing up random people is a moral thing to do ever. I also think it has helped the Israelis dehumanize Palestinians, which is what I was talking about here.
