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.

Imagine believing the Zionist pro-genocide BBC international news coverage in 2026...
Man, I really thought the "everyone I don't like is a zionist" phase...
The guy who wrote that article also just made a documentary:

Calling out the UK government for banning Palestine Action...
This may surprise you, the vast majority of "westerners" hate the governments of Israel, Iran, and likely their own domestic governments.
Criticizing one place does not equallyean someone is "on the other side".
In fact, in a lot of conflicts, both governments are assholes.
Does that make sense?
You literally ended your previous comment with "but they gave me monies! Is not good enough reason to work with a fascist". Funny how this only ever seems to apply to foreign enemy states and not to people in your own fucking country. The BBC has been systematically silencing pro Palestinian voices and amplifying Zionist discourse, by your own logic your author is a fascist collaborator.
You complain about "everyone I don't like is a Zionist", but you do the even worse "everyone my government tells me is a fascist". Iran is not fascist for defending itself against US attacks, it has the right to self defense.
If you have quarrels with deaths of Iranians, as I do, you'd be much better off protesting western governments sanctioning Iran with the express purpose of starving people until they revolt, western sanctions murder half a million people globally every year since 1975 (or over 38 million since 1970). If you want to look at the reasons for the anti-Government protests that oh so coincidentally spawned right before your war, look at the exchange rates of the Iranian Rial and the effects of US sanctions on currency value in Iran.
The US playbook goes: sanction and blockade a country's economy -> generate economic hardship for the citizens and insatisfaction -> arm protestors and/or rebel factions and/or neighboring enemies -> invade when crisis happens
This helps the US generate the inner turmoil and chaos necessary for its goals, and the national and international popular support for the invasion. We've seen it in Syria, we've seen it in Libya, we've seen it with Iran before (Mosaddeq), and we're seeing it again.
No it applies to them too...
I think the Cruz of the issue, is when someone criticizes something you support in any aspect, you assume that means the completely disagree with you every aspect of that topic and every other topic...
I literally just explained what you're still having problems with:
And then you came back with this:
What the fuck do you think we've been doing?
And why aren't you doing it in the country you live in, but what disclose?
I got a pretty good guess, but I'm trying not to assume.
My picture from 1st of May, literally 3 days ago, protesting in Vallecas, Madrid against the western militarization.
Iran will not improve until it gets rid of the US, so focus on that if you "hate both".
You mean what I was doing before you started whatever this whole thing has been about?
I could have been doing more of that if I had just blocked you already.
You're actively working against your own self professed instrests here mate.
Not just wasting time, actively hurting it.
