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.

And jews that do speak out against the genocide get pummeled by Israel and they shut up after that, making the overall sentiment against jews even worse.
Yep. Israel is holding aloft the very real rise in antisemitic discourse taking place around the world to convince members of the Jewish diaspora that soon Israel will be the only safe sanctuary left, and that it's time to start being cool with their horrible history.
it's antisemitic as fuck. i can't think of anyone who hates Judaism more than the Likud, choosing to erase much of our history to create a new neovolkisch history. israel is trying to finish what the nazis started: a complete erasure of the jewish identity as anything other than a collective of spite and duplicity. it's completely infuriating both that they should do this and that it is working.
israelis terrify me. they inherited all the same foods and stories i did, and their capital is named after a city my great great grandmother loved, and their takeaway isn't that our purpose in this world is to help others resist genocide, but instead that… they should commit genocide to ensure… something. their interpretation of my identity is so far afield of my interpretation that i can't even fathom what the fuck they're doing.
it makes me so angry
In case you were wondering, they don't actually believe anything, they are cynical to the Core, nihilists believing only in self-interest. Forcing their others into ghettos that they are trying to exterminate, including using starvation with exact repeats of the European ghettos like Warsaw.
The rumors about Epstein being an israelli honey pot clearly were not false. Our lawmakers and Business Leaders across the West must have some serious dirt on them to prevent them from stopping even such a blatant in your face repeat of the Holocaust.
