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.

Well, they want to end the war but not the genocide.
Best description of Israeli pro-"peace" sentiment I've ever seen.
Netanyahu is leading in the latest polls from what I read by a relatively comfortable margin, so I don't think he's feeling much pressure from within to stop before annexing parts of Gaza at the very least. Israelis are being taught to hate their neighbors with a passion all their lives and the genocide is justified in their eyes.
Exactly one lifetime since their own relatives were treated the same way. Rinse and repeat every few decades.

Long story short: That didn't happen. Long story long: About half of Israeli Jews are of Middle Eastern descent, and a majority of the rest are descended from Eastern Europeans who immigrated in the pre-WWII 20th century. While they did have a history of persecution, the vast majority of these guys didn't suffer anything close to what Israel is doing to Gazans right now.

That's a stretch. Most of them had zero relatives that were genocided. Instead most of them had relatives that started the genocide of non-white jews, never stopped and now are happy to continue.
So many antisemites
I would like to remind eveyone here that only a statistically insignificant portion of the protestors are against the war for any moral purposes and the grand majority would be more than happy to see the GDF genocide every Palestinian.
OG poll source is paywalled, but figured it was better to have this here for people who haven't seen it than not.

Hey, my dudes, we have the land we wanted, and have killed as many as we wanted.
Let's demonstrate and make the world think that the majority are against the war.
They protested at the start of war, didn't do anything. Keep protesting sure, but I don't think they are stopping until Gaza is clear of all Palestinians
Good start! Keep it going!
Don't you mean late start?
The best time to protest in Tel Aviv was 2023, the 2nd best time is now. ;)
Israel has gone way too far, war needs to end.
Israel has gone too far since 48
*1904 (start of the Second Aliyah). The flashier stuff gets more attention, but it's the Second Aliyah where the groundwork for the Zionist takeover really starts with the conquest of labor.
