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.

Because Ukraine isn't run by a government composed of people dedicated to eliminating Russia as a nation? Because Ukraine doesn't attack Russian civilians? Because Ukraine isn't a terrorist organization bent on literal genocide? Because Israel hasn't occupied any portion of Gazan territory since 2005?
FAFO is what's going on here for the Gazans. They fucked around, now they're finding out. I have many criticisms of Israeli policy, but Hamas are uncivilized barbarians, murderous thugs it's impossible to negotiate with.
And IDF is famous for their great negotiations.
They don't smell like roses, but they're not genocidal terrorists
You mean the ones who go around killing innocent Palestinians and forcing them into ghettos? The ones that routinely defend Israeli people stealing land from innocent people?
That's what happens when you repeatedly lose wars you start with the intention of perpetrating genocide. FAFO
So basically you are on Israel’s side because they are winning? You’re seriously a band wagon fan for Israel?
I have more sympathy for them because they're not genocidal animals, as any human being with a conscience would.

If you don’t think what Israel has been doing to Palestinians is genocide, you are deluded.
Population numbers of both Israeli Arabs and Palestinians say that it is a strange fuckin genocide lmfao
Slow ass genocide amirite?
If you think that you are honestly delusional. Neither side here is great, you might want to check some of the stuff IDF has done for the past two decades. But you seem to brainwashed to even want to look at something that might contradict your already established view.
"everyone I disagree with is brainwashed. I, alone, am a paragon of objectivity"
Oh ow you got me, such a good response. You must be so smart
What sources do you make your claims based on? Even in some US and European ones, including the most mainstream, there'll be evidence to precisely the opposite. Not always, here and there. Let alone in the russian ones.
What does the charter of Hamas say? That's my source.
Look at what I quoted.
You didn't quote anything.
