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.

MODERATORS
And some terrorist supporters here on Lemmy were trying to explain to us that they were just casually "transporting" the body of a dead woman and that they weren't doing anything disgusting with her. We all know what islamist terrorists do when they spot a young woman, to pretend that Hamas is any different from ISIS is to be completely delusional.
Palestinians will lose more and more support (mine already) as long as they keep shielding the Islamist animals of Hamas.
EDIT: also thank goodness for !world@lemmy.world, because others like !worldnews@lemmy.ml are run by terrorist supporters (see for yourself in their modlog: https://lemmy.ml/modlog/14788)
Both things can be bad… you know that? Right?
And sometimes one side is much worse than the other.
So which far right extremist theocracy is worse in this case?
It's possible to oppose Hamas and the Israeli government at the same time. Hamas being fundamentalist terrorists doesn't retroactively justify the Israeli government forcing millions of people into ghettos without access to clean water and regularly subjecting them to state violence. Or the ongoing settlement program, where Palestinian towns are forcibly evacuated and their property/homes stolen and given to Israeli settlers.
Two things can Both be bad at once, especially since the only reason Hamas exists is because of the desperation of Palestinians caused by Israeli state policy. Netanyahu's government even gave them money at one point, because Hamas is good for his political goals. Hamas prevents a more democratic, progressive resistance to the occupation from forming, which makes it easier for Netanyahu's government to justify their ongoing genocide/ethnic cleansing.
Ok but one of those is funny "reason:explaining antisemitism to a Jewish person"
I didn't read what they actually said but that got a solid chuckle from me
I didn't know the pope of jewdaism was a lemmee admin. What an honour.
I see this the same way I see Russians and Putin: the same way it is the Russians' responsibility to dispose of Putin, it is also the Palestinians' responsibility to get rid of Hamas. Hamas isn't recruiting in India, they're recruiting Palestinians who have been fed hate for Jewish people since they were little. Even the fucking Palestinian Authority, which many brand as "moderate", stands behind this terrorist attack.
I dont know how to explain to you that Palestinians who legally do not have rights in Israel and have been denied any enfranchisement of their rights over the last 70 years by Israel and America would have no interest in overthrowing the only group that even claims it will help them.
They aren't fed Jewish hate, they only have to watch as Israeli police and military murder their whole communities on live television every single day from the day they were born.
I have to look out for my own mental health so I'm just going to tell you to actually research the peace talks and the disposition of the extremely racist and dictatorial state run by Netanyahu. Here's a lonerbox video that covers part of it. I can't bash my head against a wall arguing with people who see the thousands of massacres of Palestinians as justified. If you think that you're already too far gone. You already see Palestinians as less than insects, and I can't convince you otherwise so in the interest of my mental health I'm not going to waste my day off trying.

Okay, I'm just pointing out that she wasn't stripped or raped. Israel will use the emotions created by this event to justify ethnically cleansing the Gaza strip, might as well not pile on false info on top.
Yes Hamas is bad but Hamas only exists because of Israel's behavior.
A rapid dog breaks it's chain and bites a child. Yes the dog has to be put down but the real fault lies in the one that kept it chained up, starving and beat it with a stick every day.
Problem is that most Palestinians support Hamas.
