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.

Here is a list of peace offers which would grant the Palestinians a country of their own, they refused all of them
1937 - Peel commission, rejected
1947 - Partition resolution, rejected
2000 - Camp David, rejected
2001 - Taba, rejected. Arafat starts the second intifada and a year later changes his mind.
2008 - Olmert offer, rejected
Hamas have tried to agree to boundaries Despite media attempts to portray it as a new Hamas charter, it is not. The new 'policy document' accepts the creation of a Palestinian state in 1967 borders, but still rejects Israel and claims its territory. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39775103

1937: Peel Commission partition proposal, rejected.

Not gonna link Trump's imbecilic peace plan as an example.
Here is a list of peace offers the Palestinians offered to Israel -
None
Why would they ever accept any "offer" to have their homes and land taken away?
Look at the Native Americans for an example of a colonized population that accepted the terms of their colonizers.
Still alive???
Also how is it comonization? According to both religions both own the land. One party accepts the other while the other wants to kill all jews because of my god is bigger.
I will never accept antisemitism.
The general take on Lemmy is: it's okay for Palestinians to become extremists after decades of violence, but for Israelis? no no no sir.
The tankies are very noticable right now
Has it ever occurred to you some people are independent and therefore don't always subscribe to a single tribe?
Probably not, because you're a tribalist projecting your tribalism onto literally everyone else.
In your mind, people are with you or against you. There is no nuance.
Thats like the complete opposite of what I am like lol
Your previous comment does not reflect that.
Because I notice tankies? okay....
Might wanna brush up on your reading comprehension.
You think because i can recognize a tankie, that must be true? Cmon son
Yikes. Just unable to admit when you're wrong, lol.
Good luck. Gonna block you now.
I have no idea what "I'm wrong" about lol
I can recognize tankies, that much is true. But I'm more of a big tent guy.
Thank you for being honest and admitting that Israel has not been willing to even come to the table for 18 years
What a wierd take from that information.
Blatant lying from hassanmckusick@lemmy.discothe.quest.
And Palestine is not? What are you on about? Same Brits who gave Palestine their country, decided to give Jews theirs.
According to one religious book it is and according to another religious book it isnt.
This argument is boring. depending on how far back in time we go it is or isn't.
Religion is an ongoing lie.
Not the argument here. Good for you for being atheist but Jews and Muslims aren't. For them it isn't just a lie. And their beliefs are under protection of almost every developing country so we also have to take in account that their beliefs in this are valid.
I don't see any use in them either, but religion is the cause for this 120 year war.
Being contrarian doesn't solve this.
Islam is based on Judaism. So it's Jewish land according to both these books
No, it's not. Both are based in the middle East and on Abraham, but they differ wildly.
A substantial portion of the 20% of Israel's population that are Arab Israeli citizens would beg to differ. They have legit gripes with how the State operates, but they want jack shit to do with Palestine.
