News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

This is no time for sarcasm. Any decent person in a topic like that should simply condemn israeli actions and keep protesting against western complicity or continuing bds actions
Activists was illegally detained by occupying force outside of their jurisdiction. As decent human being you should condemn what happened instead of making joke. There are other posts where you can mock anybody you want related to their actions and stands
I'm assuming you downvoted me. I didn't downvote you. That's just as childish. 😘
I will rephrase: your terminology, lack of humor, and repeating the party line (like a parrot), point to you being pretty fanatical.
Fanaticism is never a good look. I really hate it when I see it on the left because we're supposed to better than that.
I've seen the same behaviours in evangelical Christians, the far right/MAGAts, scientologists, authoritarian supporters of China and Russia.
Spout propaganda and attack your own side in excess fervor: yup, I'm making assumptions.
You are free to downvotes whatever you like and same for me. It's you who is childish. I am not a fanatic either I don't treat parties as cults like you guys do in the USA
I am also curious about the propaganda you claim that I spew
I thought about giving a line-by-line of phrases that twig me out, but I don't want to help you mask the language. I will say that using a phrase like, Western Complicity,™ is a huge tell that you are being fed garbage or have a handler.
The actual left of the US doesn't like the Democrats either. We just don't have any other choice. That's American left 101.
Also, very common among American and western left in general: all governments suck. Yours does, mine does. To hold power at the higher levels of government means that person is almost certainly corrupt. Also, people are people. If there's an Us and Them, it's Us the people against the small group hoarding power and wealth. Just like it's always been.
All major world powers have committed genocides as far as I know. America - start with the Indians, throw in AIDS and gay men, and there are a bunch more. England - India. French - pick an African country. Russia - Ukraine, more than once. China - Uyghr and Buddhists.
Here's a thought. All this genocide enabling you think you see in people like me. I moved my family halfway across the country after saving for years because I was afraid of what might be coming. The rhetoric is the same as pre-war Germany. I fear genocide much closer to home.
So, at the end of the day, the Palestinian genocide is a horror that words break down on. Like all genocides. Still, it's shocking that so many Jewish people support this after the Holocaust. Hope it doesn't happen here.
