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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

About fucking time eh?
This is a cowards response to genocide. Israel should be economically sanctioned and embargoed. All Israeli visas should be cancelled. Every Israeli government or military member should be charged and imprisoned if they leave Israels jurisdiction.
They should be ostracised from the international community. Only Israeli's who publicly oppose Israel should be allowed asylum.
Isn't that what the UN is trying to do, but Israels best buddy uses its veto to make it not happen?
No country requires UN approval to do anything I suggested
No the UN put Hamas on a sexual violence blacklist because Israel said so without evidence and then blocked the UN investigation.
And then they went "Maybe we will put Israel who is gang raping Palestinians on video on the list next year".
This is not made up.
And then Daddy Security council vetoed the investigations. Wait no, just the 2nd one.
I remember when the US let one Security Council resolution pass and everyone thought it would do something but it turned out the UN is utterly worthless and refuses to implement any actual mechanisms.
Now that all subsequent resolutions are getting blocked, I wonder why anyone even cares about it.
The correct response would be for one of the other nuclear-armed powers to come in with the Navy in land and amphibious invasion into Gaza and start shooting down any Israelis in the territory attacking it and reconstructing it.
France or the uk or the us could end this.
i think you are underestimating the difficulty of an amphibious assault. i think it's the right answer, but it's net a simple action, and any and all amphibious assaults have the US Navy to contend with, a military power that is horrifically overscaled. the US Navy has approximately 10x the deck space of any other country
because finally the things going on (Gazan genocide), the perpetrator (satan bibi) and the #1 supporter (the US administration) has all become intolerable all at once.
