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.

Israel is still bombing Lebanon and Hezbollah is not retaliating.
Hezbollah had many missiles which they could have aimed at Israel. They did not. They took it and they keep taking it without retaliating.
It is strategically beneficial for Hezbollah to go incognito so it can recover.
Hezbollah and Iran were very calm and calculated with their responses initially, but when Israel started mass bombing the capital there should have been a massive response from Hezbollah, which did not come. Israel had free game to do whatever they wanted and they did.
Israel called the bluff and they massively won. They kept shooting and shooting and nothing came back.
I have to disagree. I thin israel won because they was well prepared inteligence wise. There ia no way for major leadera to be assasinated without spies and traitors
Still with assassinations of their leaders there should have been a retaliation protocol in place. Hezbollah had no red line for retaliation. After Israel realized this they had free game bombing every Lebanese city.
Didn't israel destoyed most of their stock pile and arm manifacturing facilities. Israel is continuing to murder leaders. I am not an expert but i would expect any defence organization to deal with potential traitors and spies within them, reorganizing themselves secretly so they can recover
Allegedly Hezbollah had thousands of underground missiles ready to fire at Israel.
The problem is that America assigned a new Lebanese president which works together with Israel and the PA to dismantle Hezbollah.
Usually when a certain red line is crossed there should be massive retaliation. When Israel committed their beeper terror attack Hezbollah should have organized a massive counter attack. Instead they allowed Israel to invade Lebanon and basically did nothing to counter Israel.
Even now Israel is bombing Hezbollah during the 'ceasefire' and Hezbollah is not retaliating.
I think that Hezbollah is not allowed a big retaliation by Iran. Iran wants to stall as long as possible so they can build up their nuclear arsenal. A large scale escalation which would give America a reason to intervene could ruin their plan. Hezbollah was probably told to not fire back. Though that's just my assumption.
