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.

How?
It makes sense, if you equivocate the Israeli State with all Israeli people, or even all Jewish people. I don't, just as I wouldn't equivocate the Nazi German State with all Germanic peoples the world over.
Everyone in this thread: I want Israel shattered, and it's people cast into the sea!
Half the Jews on earth: OK, well we're not going to let that happen to us without a fight. In fact, since you all keep trying, we're going to take proactive steps to make that goal basically impossible.
Everyone in this thread: why do you love genocide so much?
Us: We hate Nazi Germany! Down with Hitler!
You: Heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil Hitler heil (etc.)
Us: Why do you love genodice so much?
Edit:
Also it bears repeating, because you're actively ignoring it, but we're not calling for the death or Israelis or Jewish people generally, but specifically the fascist state that is commiting crimes against humanity in their name. The insistence that those two are one and the same is just fascist propaganda.
For the record, I think Bibi and most of his government belong in prison. Bibi is a fascist - but so are most Palestinians, for lack of a better word. I think Israel (as well as America, Europe and the Arab states) should pay reparations to all Palestinians who can demonstrate they have been permanently displaced from land that Israelis have settled on.
But I'm also realistic about arab/islamic nationalism, and how those states treat their ethnic and religious minorities. I support Kurdish independence for the same reason. I support the Christians in Lebanon - I went to school with some in the early 2000's who were forced from their homes. Being a non-arab, non-muslim in the Muslim/Arab world is a mortal danger.
There is no scenario where Israel doesn't exist, and Jewish people in the middle east aren't subjected to exactly the kind of genocide that you're accusing Israelis of perpetrating. Some might even call it projection.
If that makes me literally Hitler, then we really don't have anything to discuss. My side keeps winning. Total Israeli capitulation isn't ever going to happen. When certain parties finally accept that reality, maybe we can start making moves towards a lasting peace, but that peace will never include simply throwing open the gates and letting the barbarians sack Rome.
