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.

It's not even that. Zionists caused the Middle East to hate Jews.
The only thing you’re actually saying here is that you’re not familiar with the history of the Middle East prior to about 1948.
Uh... We should be counting from 1917, and before that point anti-semitism in the Middle East wasn't anything close to the point it is today.
Blaming Jews for the antisemitism they experience is antisemitism 101, buddy.
No that's not what I meant. I'm blaming Zionists for the anti-semitism all Jews experience in the middle east. Because that's exactly what happened; most Middle Eastern countries (including Ottoman Palestine) had Jews who could live peacefully before Zionists started their settler colonialism project. I'm not saying it's justified, don't get me wrong; it's stupid and horrible and I sincerely believe the pogroms that happened in the Middle East at the time were unjustifiable atrocities. But, that doesn't mean we should ignore the cause.
Zionists does not equal Jews. There are plenty of Jews who aren't Zionists and lots of Zionists who aren't Jewish.
Yeah, nah. Their neighbors declared war on Israel the literal moment Israel was founded. They hadn’t even had time to piss anyone off.
Because the very creation of Israel was a settler colonialist state ethnically cleansing the local population.
I would say their neighbours had plenty to be pissed off about.
When you do that on someone else’s land?
We call that colonialism and the people who’s land it was generally aren’t too thrilled
Yes? Especially if the territory of that state is forcibly taken away from others who are living on it
Creating the United States was similarly terrible as it involved the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. Same with Australia. Same with South Africa. Same with Rhodesia.
Forcibly taking someone's home and cleansing an area of an ethnicity is certainly regarded as one of the worst actions a group of people can do. And rightly so
A lot of countries have a right of return. It works just fine. They may not be able to get the family farm back, but we can't win everything.
Sure you can. Israel is doing it right now with genocide.
South Africa has accused them of genocide. You're saying South Africa, a former apartheid regime that has since been liberated, is incorrect to do so? What gives you the authority to judge them so? Obviously it isn't because you've read their filings with the International Court of Justice
Why can South Africa accuse them of genocide?
I have read and believe South Africa's filings. It is clear to me that Israel is choosing to carry out genocide and I will speak and act accordingly
The UN definition is public knowledge. It's not like it's a secret we have to wait for the clerics to decipher. What they're doing meets the definition.
Because half the ministry and the PM saying they need to clear it out and settle it isn't proof of intent?
Is the Nazi party in charge of policing the oppressed minority you don't recognize as a country or citizens of your country?
Except the people saying it are the ones in charge so...
Uh... Zionists had 28 years before the founding of Israel to get everyone to hate Jews all they want. Remember that the militias that formed the IDF were terrorist organizations before that, and the whole "let's create an Apartheid state in Palestine" thing was inherently pretty objectionable.
Nah uh! Recorded History starts in 1947!
