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.

Hmm, now replace Iran with the USA, and tell me how would you feel if someone has bombed your embassy and killed a bunch of its employees? Would you still tell us that the US should not retaliate?
I don't know that is the best analogy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident
I mean both of you are correct. I find it difficult to say that Iran would be wrong to retaliate. They have all the right in the world to do so.
Would it be a wise decision? I don't think so. A war against Israel wouldn't be beneficial for them. But if they start one, they are fully within their rights.
Iran is not the United States. We have the military might to strike anywhere in the world. We can invade any country in the world. Iran can’t do any of those things. I get why they want to strike back but strategically it’s a bad move. I think they should pitch their case to the UN. Israel should not have attacked their consulate. It wasn’t an embassy that was attacked. Hell I support Israel but I can’t defend attacking the consulate. I won’t even attempt to defend that.
And that's exactly the double standards I was talking about. Letting someone act with impunity creates a very dangerous precedent.
It’s not a double standard. It’s just a fact.
If they escalate with Israel. It won’t benefit Iran. Netanyahu isn’t afraid to use further force. He’s shown that in Gaza.
Might makes right is the dumbest position, bar none.
Glad nobody claimed that.
Let him use it more. He will get the hitler treatment
You are right. Iran doesn't know that Tehran will be turned into a hot sheet of glass if it fucks around too hard.
Edit: true know-nothings downvoting this post. We're on the verge of war with Iran right now, wait and see. Hope you're right.
Hmmm, you realise that your actions have consequences, right?
If you oppress people for decades and then act surprised when they strike back, or when you strike a foreign embassy in a foreign country, you can't really expect to get a carte blanche for all your shit, you know.
And honestly Netanyahu is doing all possible to prolong this war, otherwise he is toast and hopefully imprisoned toast for all the shit he has done.
Israel has been oppressing Iran for decades? Delusional. Who do you think give Hamas all its suicide bombs and rockets?
Are you trying to tell me that Palestinians were living the life in Israel before the 7th of October. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights_violations_against_Palestinians_by_Israel#:~:text=Reports%20of%20human%20rights%20violations%20against%20Palestinians%20by%20Israel%20include,illegal%20interference%20with%20privacy%2C%20family%2C.
Regarding Iran, think about, how would you feel if Iran has bombed your consulate in let's say Armenia and killed a bunch of people? But at this point I highly doubt you are capable of critical thinking and/or human empathy.
I don’t know what it would take for Israel to use nukes but I hope we don’t find out.
Yeah. Because Arab nations don't have the resources as Western ones, they typically have to resort to terrorism to fight back.
This is why the "war on terror" is such a big deal. It means that any poor nation who tries to fight a wealthy one is immediately in the wrong.
Iran isn’t an Arab nation, nor Afghanistan or a plethora of other countries we’ve fought. Your point stands though. That’s why they revert to terrorism.
I think we should have allied with Iran to fight isis
Right now you are talking like a high school bully.
