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.

Boots on the ground.
Soldiers should risk their lives to save children.
Or if that's too much to ask, maybe negotiate? Try to talk with the people they've been blockading since 2007. See how they can make gaza less of a shithole so the people there have better things to do than lash out at the people who keep them there.
It'll cost money, but Israel has plenty.
why are they blockading them? :o

ooh, because of the terrorists! :3
It's a little more complicated than that. If you're interested in learning, here you go.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Israel_(1948%E2%80%93present)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_warfare
1948 to present? heeey now! where's the ottomans and before that? :3
I mean, you wanted to know.
History is complicated. There's not really a point where it 'resets' and everything that came before is null and void. Lol.
If you're interested in studying the Ottoman's, here you go https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire
You can just search for what you want to learn about here: https://en.wikipedia.org/
so lemme get this right... the actions of the past determine whos land is whos?
beeeecause if sooo, israel has right of claim, just sayin'
You're going to believe whatever you want, so why are you asking me?
I gave you links to educate yourself. Draw your own conclusions.
the best thing about history is that you can just pick and choose what you want to happen! :3
but we're in the present now. Palestine declared war twice (and lost twice), and now Israel has Palestinian land. ooh, mind you, west bank settlement is bad tho
Seems like you could've just made your own comment to say what you wanted to say. Lol.
Anyways man, you're kind of annoying so I'm gonna block you.
No hard feelings. Have a nice day.
I. WIN.
The emoticons come across as smug and disingenuous just so you know. It gives “I already decided what’s true you stupid idiot” vibes.
i use them because they are cute! (✿◠‿◠)
if you're offended. Too bad. (≖_≖ )
Not offended.
The way you’ve used them in this comment chain absolutely gives off smug “I’m smarter than you vibes” regardless of what you tell yourself to avoid self reflection.
Just figured you should know in case you wonder why the people around you find you so exhausting and insufferable. Have a good one. :-)
im just hatsune miku okay
I doubt it. Miku has never come across as a smug political shot poster to me ¯\_(ツ)|_/¯
this is one of my most FAMOUS songs!

thank you
It'll cost lives and they won't succeed. They'll fall back on indirect fire talking out entire buildings but now unable to be more selective.
Negotiating was what they were doing and it seemed to be working. All they were doing was use the time to build up resources for their massive terror attack. Prior to 2007 they were on the way to peace and then Hamas was elected.
There is literally no other option to remove Hamas. Prior to the current weapon set armies would simply level the city. That is so very much worse and also legal.
This is bullshit. First, Hamas was elected in 2006, not 2007. And second, the blockade started in 2005, not in 2007. There's more, but yeah this is bullshit.
Yes, Israel and Egypt set up borders after they left the occupation of Gaza as they moved towards sovereignty. That's how international borders work. It's not an apartheid state unless you don't defacto recognize Palistinian independence if not statehood.
The Israeli side won't say as much because they don't want to legitimate Hamas but it really is that simple to me.
Gaza has never been sovereign. After 2005 the occupation continued in the form of the Gaza blockade. We're not talking just borders here; the blockade extends to the air and sea (Gaza has its own coast on the Mediterranean).
