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 format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post 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] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. No social media posts

If your only route to success is harming others or threatening to harm others, you are literally the same as them. Change my mind.
No one gave two fucks about Hamas until they came through with gun fire and violence. Now everyone suddenly cares and a significant change will come to them.
If you believe we are above chimps and do not respond to violence, you are in denial. We are chimps with nukes.
It's not my job to change your mind, but if you really want, PM me your address and I can come by with promises and prove you will respond to threats. Just like politicians.
P.S. I just proved your point and I am just as bad as them. But the point was that this is the only way for rapid change within our lifetime.
I'm not convinced you have one to change.
ZING got me real good. You're right! I've not a single neuron with which to type even, sadly. I'm concerned you may not even get this message before logic catches up with us, since i am unsure of the speed of causality due to the conflicting limits of the universe between the prevalent "Einsteinian principles" and apparent quantum principles, :( :( :(
If you try to defend yourself from the people oppressing and killing you, you’re just as bad as them?
What a shit lib take.
Yeah I don't agree with your opinion, so toss me in the bin and qualify me shortly. Lmao k
