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.

By international law Israel is the OCCUPYING force and the OCCUPIED has the right of armed self defense, not the opposite.
UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/38/17 (22/11/1983), page 186:
"2. *Reaffirms *the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, *apartheid *and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle;
3. *Reaffirms *the inalienable right of the Namibian people, the Palestinian people and all peoples under foreign and colonial domination to self-determination, national unity and sovereignty without foreign interference;"

"Look at how those prisoners get all their resources from the prison guards! I don't see the lack of freedom"
Do they not realize that Arbeit Macht Frei?
El oh fucking el. Even if any of that was true (which is isn't. You're on the Internet, are you unable to look things up?), it not only doesn't disprove the previous point, it actually supports it.
Palestine is composed of Gaza, West Bank and other terrories.
Israel is stealing land continuously from West Bank and putting settlers illegally there. It's a war crime to put civilian population in occupied Territory.
And I didn't even mention the illegally annexed territory in 1967 and the murder in 1948 to steal the land (Jews had bought 7% of the land up to 1947 and stole more around 46% with the Nakba).
Kidnap and murder are not self defense, but Israel commiting Genocide is self defense?
Ask the International Court of Justice.
Israel asked it to stop the process and claim there's no genocide, but the court denied and will keep the process because there's plausibily a genocide.
No the UN recently wrote a report on it confirming that it is most definitely Genocide. The intentional starvation of 2.3 million people is very clear cut evidence there really is no debate anymore.
The one currently taking place in Palestine
And the mass starvation ... and the murder of aid workers ...
it must be nice for you to live in such a clear world with no grey areas. The 7th October attacks were horrific and barbaric and brutal and what the Israeli state are currently doing is at least as horrific and barbaric and brutal.
Israel has been treating them like shit since they were founded, so no not a direct result
The Nakba in 1948 where Israel stole 46% of the land.
Or the Jewish Terrorist group Irgun bombing the British King David Hotel to hide proof that Jewish terrorism was Being financed by Jewish allies of England.

Irgun later went together with another Jewish Terrorist group called Stern Group to form IDF.
"Following the establishment of the State of Israel during the 1948 Palestine war, the Irgun began to be absorbed into the newly created Israel Defense Forces. Conflict between the Irgun and the IDF escalated into the Altalena affair, and the Irgun did not formally disband until January 12, 1949. The Irgun was a political predecessor to Israel's right-wing Herut (or "Freedom") party, which led to today's Likud party.[15] Likud has led or been part of most Israeli governments since 1977. "

And their leader Menachin Begin later formed Likud, the party of Naziniahu
