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.

Yeah attacking refugee camps, hospitals and private residences will ensure peace for sure.

The number of future terrorists will only increase in numbers because people will have destroyed homes and murdered innocent brothers and fathers to avenge.
FYI: Most people there just make due with what they have and do not even support Hamas.
Which is exactly why Bibi funded Hamas. Nationalism is a cancer, no matter where it is.
Co-locating in them and stripping them legally of protected status should never be tolerated, it's good that Hamas is being executed 24/7.
I'm glad that every dead Hamas monster makes the Palestinians safer. Let's hope we can get rid of them swiftly so that there are no further compromising of what would otherwise be protected targets.
Feck off with your xenophobic shit talk.
You think xenophobic means against terrorists? And you're mad because I'm not supportive of terrorists?
So confusing.
Three Israeli hostages get killed by IDF forces, that's a tragedy. Two civilians in Gaza get killed by IDF forces for every Hamas fighter killed? "Regrettable but tremendously positive."
Having no Hamas present never protected the West Bank from Israeli.
Hamas, the Israeli government, and the IDF are all murderers.
I keep trying to explain, judging conflicts based on whether casualties are even, is morally and ethically bankrupt. It's a really sick way of thinking.
The corollary is this would be more acceptable if more of the other side died. I mean, that's seriously broken.
Don't put words in my mouth.
Israeli says three deaths of their hostages is a tragedy, while thousands of Gaza civilians dying is "tremendously positive."
I'm pointing out their rampant hypocrisy and blatant disregard for their fellow man.. If you believe the same, you're just as morally and ethically bankrupt.
Maybe there will even be Palestinians alive after all of this is done. Who knows?
