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.

MODERATORS
 

American sympathies in the Middle East have shifted dramatically toward the Palestinians, according to new Gallup polling, after decades of overwhelming support for the Israelis.

That shift accelerated during the war in Gaza. Three years ago, 54% of Americans sympathized more with the Israelis, compared to 31% for the Palestinians.

Now, their support is about evenly balanced, with 41% saying their sympathies lie more with the Palestinians, and only 36% saying the same about the Israelis.

Do you condemn the IDF for carrying out the Hannibal Directive and killing all those Israelis on October 7th?

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think they effectively already answered this. What point are you trying to make?

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com -5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They said the opposite. They said they understood why the German Nazis exterminated Jews for burning the Reichstag building.

I have never in my life uttered a single positive or empathetic word about Nazis. If you're trying to put words in my mouth through some twisted false-equivalence, miss me with that shit.

Any goodwill or empathy I feel toward my fellow humans, Nazis are always the exception. It's a free world, do what you want — unless you're a fucking Nazi then you should die mad, and preferably screaming. Violence is never the solution — unless the problem in Nazis.

If this is a case of mistaken identity, fair enough shit happens. If not, then in all sincerity, fuck yourself with glass until you bleed out.

I probably should've included the word "basically" in my comment, though I do stand by what I said. You understand what Hamas is said to do on Oct 7th, and I compared it to the Holocaust because the Jews burned down their Reichstag building. Jews didn't burn down the Reichstag building, the same way that Hamas didn't kill all those Israelis on Oct 7th. The IDF carried out the Hannibal Directive, and killed their own people using Apache helicopters and tanks, and used that as reasoning the comitt a genocide against a semite population, much the same way the Germans did to the Jews during the Holocaust.

Well then, I stand by option B above.

[–] DaMummy@hilariouschaos.com -3 points 1 day ago

That's fine. I don't expect to convince genocide apologists.
