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.

And Palestine wants its country back, the one you stole. They want to see the end of the murderous terrorism and genocide that invaded them so many decades ago, that every year kills their children and parents.
Where are the protests against the genocide Israel commits?
Why do you only protest against what’s affecting you and not what evils you are doing?
You voted him into power multiple times over decades, you let him do this, don’t try to pin it all on him. As if Israel is the victim here and Bibi rubbed a magic lamp to get into his position of power against Israel’s wishes.
Israeli citizens are the ones committing the massacres. It’s not magical robot ghosts marching in uniforms, firing tank shells, and raining bombs on Palestine.
Imagine a German during WW2 saying they were the real victims and the ones fighting Hitler. This is the revolting attitude on display in this opinion piece.
Well said.
What are you talking about?? This person explicitly stated she did not vote for Netanyahu. She is part of the coalition that is directly opposed to Netanyahu and his military strategy. What the hell is she supposed to do as a single person. What is the point of your comment? You really felt the need to grandstand or something?
I’m talking all of Israel. The Israel she is saying doesn’t support this, didn’t vote it, excuse etc.
She could start by going back in time and not pressing "send" on her poorly-disguised pro-israeli fud mischaracterizing israel's genocide as a war and israels starvation of its citizens as Hamas' fault. Then, after deleting her zionism-apologist garbage, she should stand up, drop her drawers, and kiss her own ass.
Israel was never a country either. Yet here we are.
Even if there wasn't, Israel was created by jews that came from all over the world where a lot of people was already living on it, while current palestinian are decendents of pre-israel population
I mean, there have been Jewish folks In the region before the modern state of Israel.
But yeah you’re right in that Israel came about because of the Holocaust and the fact that zionists wanted out of Europe and Europe was antisemitic still.
I'm not saying that there where no jews before that but the jews that created the state was the jew that came frim Europe and not those who was born in the region. That's why i said palestinian and not arabs or muslims.
some jews managed to stay and survive in israel for thousands of years.
in addition to jews who came back to israel throughout the years like in the 1600's, 1800's and later on also in the 1900's before israel's rebirth.
That's just semantics though.
People lived there, they had houses and fields and orchards and olive plantations and businesses, they lived normal, free lives with their friends and families.
All that has been taken away from them. I don't care if you call it "owning a country" or not, the reality is that their lands and livelihoods were stolen using violence.
The word palestine just spawned from the ether, not relating to anywhere or anyone.
this is clarity you could stand to have more often
