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.

Israel exists because millions were displaced from their homes to create it. Settlers continually encroach further. And everyone that lived there is supposed to roll over and let it happen with no resistance whatsoever. Then there's the current situation which is to put it lightly, a humanitarian disaster. Over a million gazans were essentially told to flee to the south or risk being bombed. And dont get me started on how journalists are being treated. Do not give me this poor innocent Israel horseshit.
The Nakba land was annexed because they declared war on Israel and lost. It's almost like there's consequences for trying to murder your neighbors. They might not want you as neighbors anymore.
You are a ghoul if you think displacing a few million people from their homes in revenge is justified.
As usual the people against israel try to hold them to a different standard. I mean when has any nation that declared war and got their ass kicked lost any territories as a consequence? /s.
For them, the natural consequences that have applied through history in other conflicts are somehow unjustified when they benefit israel.
It was wrong when those countries did it and it is wrong when Israel does. Your argument is shit.
Yet somehow you only complain when it benefits israel. You probably don’t condemn hamas either so your bias and agenda is clear.
This can be confirmed by anyone with a look at your comments history so i’ll not respond further.
Literally every antiwar protester ever has decried when other countries do that. What in the fuck are you smoking?
What if it's for safety and not revenge?
Doesn't seem to have worked
This conflict is unusual in that Palestine doesn't seem to care about the realpolitik or their odds regarding military solutions. The popular sentiment is that Palestinians want one state that they control, (and deny Jews rights in,) or no deal and the terrorist attacks continue. For obvious reasons this is not viable.
It seems most of the options that remain involve creating more distance from their belligerent enemy, which means Palestine loses even more land; unless they become willing to lay down arms and sue for peace, that is.
