A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Utter fucking insanity. Israel must be stopped.
Clearly the best course of action is to call netanyouhoo and give him a stern look, telling him we have concerns.
Then send him a million fucking missiles.

Ukraine can't bomb the nation actively invading them but Israel can attack all of its neighbors
The industry benefits most from Israel attacking its neighbors as well as Ukraine's defense being prolonged to the maximum extent possible.
Makes sense from that perspective to me.
Israel is a rogue state.
It's not rogue. They're doing exactly what everyone knew they would and nobody really cares because they're killing brown people who believe in a different imaginary friend.
rogue state
noun
- A state or nation acting outside of the accepted international norms and policies.
Pretty sure this is the norm. Did you sleep through Iraq and Afghanistan?
Countless resolutions in the UN show that it's not an accepted international norm or policy, but unfortunately nothing can actually be done while the behemoth US exercises its power.
The ability to disrespect UN resolutions is kind of the expected, normal outcome for any entity within America's sphere of influence.
I'm sensing a 70+ year theme.
I mean, I guess that makes sense, when you go nazi, might as well go full nazi.
But seriously, where the fuck is the line? Is there one?
If Hitler and the Nazis are anything to go by then there is no line.
Israel has rabies
israel won't be safe until all other peoples in a 2 country radius are dead i guess
I wish we would see some strike actions here in the US around manufacturing and transporting these weapons. Obviously nobody with any political power seems ready to pump the brakes on a genocide, but I wish what's left of our unions would.
