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.

If I were a Palestinian, I would be so fucking pissed at Hamas. Like, Hamas fucked up, and continues to fuck up, but Palestinians suffer for Hamas fuck ups. Release the hostages you fucking terrorists.
If I were a Palestinian I'd be pissed at Israel and Hamas, one for killing our people, and the other for killing our people
It's been said before, but if I were a Palestinian (or an Israeli) I'd also be angry at Israeli politicians like Netenyahu for helping prop up Hamas, in order to divide the Palestinian cause and undermine the PLO.
100%
Palestinians were already suffering before hamas fucked up, Israel was just trying to hide it before OCT 7, now they have an excuse so they don’t need to hide it anymore, also why doesn’t Israel agree to the hostage deals and continue to reject ceasefires proposed by hamas?
So to summarize:-
-Hamas very bad
-IDF much more very bad
-IDF would kill and genocide even if no Hamas
If Hamas didn't exist then I'm sure that Israel would find some way to invent them.
They literally invented them. They propped them up with cash.
Nah, miss me with your Israeli propaganda. Blame the people that pull the trigger while aiming at you.
Did you miss the part 30 minutes before your comment when someone said they would be mad at both and sin free agreed?
If I were a Palestine I would blame the Zionists for bringing ruin on me and my people for the last 75 years.
The blame falls on the people pulling the trigger. Don't fall prey to the fucking wifebeater's excuse.
Without Hamas, the terrorist state of israel would just keep oppressing and terrorizing Palestinians.
Good thing Hamas did so much for them not to be oppressed. Especially now, look how unoppressed they are.
paint-level depth of empathy right there
For my own sanity I choose to believe you're just a troll rage baiting
Don't forget Netanyahu who is one of the Hamas supporters. Also, do you know what's happening in the West Bank which is not governed by Hamas?
Problem is that not all the hostages were taken by Hamas. Groups like PIJ, DFLP, PFLP and others also took part in the attacks on October 7 alongside Hamas and supposedly took hostages of their own.
