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.

Gaza has chosen to completely blur the boundaries between combatants, locations used for terrorist attacks and the civilian population. They expected to Israel to just sit on their hands and go "duh, guess we'll have to accept them kidnapping people and wildly shooting missiles at us."
That was a fucking dumb expectation and now everyone there has to pay for it.
You might say they are being punished collectively. Like collective punishment. Aka a war crime
Maybe Israel could... Not starve them. Maybe let them actually have an economy. These things would really help.
Ungodly amounts of money were pumped into Gaza and all they have to show for it is tunnels for terrorists to hide in, weapons caches in every house and thousands of rockets. Is that supposed to be the "economy" of Gaza?
Also there is no need for you to respond, this outs you as a disgusting creature completely lost to any form of reason.
Which doesn't help when you can't actually use it to buy things. Israel's blockade is calculated so it keeps Gaza on the brink of collapse after aid.
Where do you expect Palestine to field its conventional army and will Israel allow them to get tanks planes etc shipped in?
Its a war zone the size of a city, how else are they going to fight here in your mind?
Who said anything about tanks and planes? Stop that nonsense. How about wearing some sort of uniform to make them distinguishable from civilians instead of running around in tracksuits hiding weapons? They love to dress up like soldiers for photo ops and parades but when push comes to shove they wear adidas and sneakers.
They decided to play war dressed as civilians and hide among them - a war crime that expectedly makes civilians into potential targets.
Oh so that's why Israel has leveled city blocks? That's why they have killed 1 out of 100 of every Palestinian? That's why the starve them, take away their electricity, aid, and water? The "was crimes" that is just guerilla warfare is puny in comparison to the atrocities that Israel commits on the daily, for the last 70 years.
That's on Hamas. They steal all the aid and murder the people living there. They misfire their rockets on their "own" people trying to harm Israel. Go direct your complaints at them - they can stop the war.
And I see how you just completely ignore the fact that Hamas war crimes directly lead to the civilian populace becoming a target. Engaging in combat dressed as a civilian is not "guerilla" warfare - even those wear their uniforms to act within the Geneva Conventions. What Hamas does is just plain old terrorism.
why would the Israelis fund Hamas then?
Hamas does not “steal all the aid.” The Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu has funded Hamas for years, in a truly chef’s kiss strategy to keep the population of Gaza under their thumb.
lol another one who completely disregards everything that was said before to throw in some completely unrelated bullshit. Talking to you people is like talking to pidgeons
