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.

well people did, it's mainly Israeli government that demands the ability to genocide whenever they feel like it, at this point.
solution: stop occupying west bank/Gaza, let the PA actually work to police in Gaza, stop randomly killing Palestinians, stop cutting off their water, allow them to rebuild their own power plant, etc...
many people have proposed several extremely viable alternatives but Israel doesn't like them and the western imperial countries don't like them either because it would make weird zionist settling very difficult and they want Israel to have control of the entire region because ironically they think it's going to help them win friends and influence people in the arab world
Palestinian statehood like the PLO have been pushing for? that's an obvious one. they've already got a prime minister and a president and everything, and they oppose hamas.
or they could tear down the stupid walls and give Palestinians the same rights as Israeli citizens? this one seems obvious enough that I kinda feel stupid typing it out.
you cannot be helped
The last time someone got close to a viable alternative, Israeli fascists lead by Benjamin Netanyahu assassinated him
Yep, zero proposals, other than whining that "IDF should do MORE to avoid collateral damage"...
Maybe if the Palestinians had a bit more land, the IDF would be able to target one house, rather than a whole 6 floor apartment building...
OR, if they were under IDF control, the police could just enter and arrest the insurgents, similar to how they handle it in West bank... So maybe the 2005 disengagement was a mistake afterall...
