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.

I think we should just shove both leaders into a submersible
Honestly? Yeah I don't see any way around this than to simply predicate all aid to the region on conditions.
Israel on the demand that not one more brick be laid anywhere outside Israel's borders and a plan with enforcement mechanisms to dismantle the settlements that are there in order to guarantee the possibility of a sustainable Palestinian state with an economy under their own control (I.e that trade, commerce, construction, monetary policy be Palestinian and not imposed by Israel). That reparations be paid to families of the victims of this bombing campaign and settler violence over the years, that those who perpetrated violence be brought to justice.
Palestine on the condition that they renounce the right of return, that they apprehend and surrender all militants to an international tribunal, that they recognize Israel, that they pay reparations to the families of Israelis that have been killed over the years.
Egypt and Jordan on the demand that they participate in the enforcement of the above.
for all parties, that Jerusalem be declared either an international city, or joint capital (split East-West).
that Iran be completely isolated from the region. This is a tough one, they have their fingers deep within Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon.
It's unclear how anything else can work.
If this requires a permanent UN military mission with the right to shoot to kill any threat all along the border of both Palestine and Israel, I'm fine with it. If it means Israel bitches and moans about how unfair it is, who cares. It's about time they respected and enforced the law. If it means Palestinians need to fight to dismantle their own militant orgs and fight for peace, at least they will have a light at the end of that tunnel instead of the despair of the past 70 years (and earlier too, tbh).
One wonders why it should be Palestine that gives up this right. Remember, it was Israeli paramilitaries that took over the Palestine Mandate despite (admittedly fucked up) plans by the UN for after British colonial rule left.
Like, your argument is basically fate-acompli. It’s a horribly complicated thing, but unilaterally evicting one party from a homeland isn’t going to lead to peace.
Yeah that's not happening, and it shouldn't.
Israelis will never accept to become a minority. It's as simple as that.
So palistinians should give up on access to their (equally ancient) homeland?
It’s wrong. But a lot of past wrong wars set current borders and taken land. At some point you just need to accept it. Just in the ‘800 Europe was completely different and yet no one cares now (mostly)
The difference between 800s Europe and 1947 Palestine is about 1100 years and the fact that 1947 is still in living memory.
Sorry I meant 1800/1900. It’s living memory yes but people will keep dying otherwise. Don’t get me wrong I hate it. As much as I hate Russia for trying to do something similar in Ukraine
People will keep dying and it will keep being israel's fault. This is the reality do not twist it.
Agree to disagree
“Afrikaners will never accept losing the majority to blacks” - South African apologists in the 1980s.
If your nation depends on apartheid, it must be rebuilt on a foundation of justice.
Yeah, nah.
That option lets Israel get away with everything and punishes everyone else in the region.
Beautiful. A dream, but would be great
And i thought my plan of putting both in a room with only water and only release them when there's a peace treaty is brilliant.
Visiting titanic will be nice.
