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.

How bad it has to be for the SC to say that.
I'm surprised people don't talk more about Netanyahu's genocide. He's in the driving seat, and calling him out by name instead of "Israel" is far more likely to affect change, focus pressure where it belongs, and dodge spurious antisemitism accusations. Give it a go.
(EDIT: my inbox seems to be filling with the same response over and over. At no point am I trying to excuse the complicity of others; "it's not just Netanyahu" is hardly a deep insight.)
That would imply removing Netanyahu would end the genocide (it won't).
If anything, he's actually dragging it out as his contemporaries are even more hardline insane and would justify sacrificing relations with the US to go full gas chambers execution.
He didn't stay in power by being wildly unpopular. He's just another drop in the barrel of similar nation leaders like India's Modi or Russia's putin.
All three are very well supported publicly and privately, despite what some media outlets may want you to believe.
While it might feel like Netanyahu's genocide, what with the defense minister switching and all, the truth of all people in power is:
They have support from others.
From fanatic support to apathy, someone is listening to what he says (and making his dreams a reality), while others are letting it happen by not doing anything.
Had Netanyahu suggested genocide and gotten laughed at, none of this would be hapening.
Yet he didn't get laughed at. He got listened to instead.
They're eating a hell of a lot more than the people in Gaza
waiting for the accusations of antisemitism in 3... 2... 1...
If even their own court ruled against it in such a regime, then it must have been really, really bad.
Not the Onion?
