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.

Fuck peace with Hamas. They need to be eradicated. We see what happened in Afghanistan and the Taliban. They would continue oppressing the Palestinians and hoard resources and other crap. I understand the sentiment as well, of wanting to make sure you don't share a space or "border" with a terrorist organization.
What needs to be done is Israel needs to create the conditions where a diplomatic solution can be achieved. This means they need to stop assassinating journalists and diplomatic delegates. They must also make more concessions and promises (that can be made through legislation) that makes sure their power, water, electricity, internet and other basic necessities won't ever be cut off. The internet one is a huge one because we need to make sure the Palestinians have a way to record and document things from their perspectives. We can see right now what cutting their internet has done. A lot of misinformation and propaganda.
Israel will need to make even more concessions like actually giving land back and minority protection. Stop using them as cheap labor (which is eerily similar to how Americans use immigrants). Help provide aid and funds to build schools and hospitals. You know how big this last one would be? The perspective towards Israel from the world, let alone Palestine, would be huge and open so many bridges of diplomacy.
Israel needs to stop taking away the basic things needed to achieve all this. They need to stop murdering innocent people. If I lost my home, my wife, and if I especially lost my son to an errant attack from Israel I of course would be pissed. Imagine now I am hungry, thirsty, living on the streets, sick. I understand why some Palestinians would take up arms, because at that point I would be starring at the end of my barrel. The deaths of innocents need to stop.
How does one eradicate Hamas?
By doing what I stated. You remove the conditions for extremism to exist to make Hamas as unfavorable as possible. Then Israel can help host an election making it as fair as possible so a proper representative of their people can be elected. If there is enough favorability, good will, and no hopelessness, then hopefully Palestine will elect a better representative. This may take generations though.
If there is no reason to follow and support Hamas, then there is no reason for it to exist.
Well, then we are in agreement. You just don't seem to like how I express the same ideas you have lol.
