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.

Just insane that a country can kill hundreds of thousands of it's neighbors and take their land while being protected by a country decrying the same action by another country.
This isn't going to solve any problems for the Israelis. They'll just be a bigger target for the middle east. What happens when the Palestinian kids clinging to life grow up in neighboring countries? Do they think they won't find more rockets and conduct more attacks? What will Israel do when the attacks come from Jordan or Egypt? invade those countries too?
At this point Saudi or Egypt look like far more controllable vassal states. Israel went from a convenient military outpost to an out of control attack dog that's desperately trying to start WW3.
People often forget that Saudi houses many American military bases already
It's a little different. Ukraine at no point wanted to wipe Russia off the map. Ukraine didn't make regular attempts to kill Russians. Ukraine never attacked Russia.
But other than that, I guess they're basically the same.
The gall to say this when Israel is conducting a genocide and ethnic cleansing campaign.
Yeah, sorry. Didn't mean to interrupt your circlejerk with facts.
There's no nuance in the two situations and they're exactly the same. Better?
Since absolutely no one except you thought the comment was pointing to the Ukraine instead of Russia, I'd say it's you who is lacking in facts.
Please explain how the two situations are similar and different. I know you can do the first part.
Surely you meant that Palestinians (and Palestine) are subjected to war crimes, aggression and attempts to extinguish nation, lineages and historical contexts? Similarly to Ukraine.
I guess the difference is that Palestine instigated the fight (because they're oppressed because they want to instigate the fight because they're oppressed, etc.)
Ukraine really did nothing wrong.
Palestine instigated the fight? When, 1947 or 1948?
Hamas is not Palestine. Hamas is an extreme. But I guess the Polish (with support of allied troops) instigated the fight against WWII Germany as well post invasion.
Edit: and those damned Boy Scout troops in Poland were apparently so horrendous that they deserved being rounded up and massacred as well, those evil 8-17 year olds.
But it's pretty close.
This supposedly pro-Palestine video also made an impression on me.
Palestinians generally support Hamas, not just ideologically, but physically.
That does NOT mean that they deserve genocide. But it also doesn't mean they're generally innocent victims.
It's time for a ceasefire. It's time to release the remaining hostages. And we should come down harshly on Israel if they attempt to put civilians into Gaza. But that doesn't mean Palestine has done nothing wrong.
