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.

Ahh yes. Here's that classic bulletproof logic: criticizing the apartheid policies of Israel is the same thing as wanting to join Hamas.
They refute the Holocaust being used as a cudgel by Israel to justify attacking innocent civilians. They didn't refute their religion. If the 2 are one and the same to you, I'd pray on that.
The naivety of westerners who believe Hamas wouldn't throw them off a building if given the chance is outstanding. As is their need to quash anyone who thinks otherwise.
Sorry, are you saying because some people are authoritarian theocratic terrorists that it is acceptable to genocide the entire group? Starve the children to death? Nobody is trying to be pals with Hamas here.
That is basically the argument Israel is using, so probably what he was going for.
If Biden goes against them I wonder if they'll change their tune or continue to spew idf talking points. Oh who are we kidding, Biden will never do that...
Hamas is not the same as Palestinians and only a deeply racist person - seeing the people in other etnicities not like people but like nothing more than non-human etnics ("human animals") - would believe in such a "group blame" myth and use it to excuse punishing all Palestinians for the acts of Hamas.
It's funny how everytime a Zionist tries to justify the actions of Israel, they use "arguments" anchored in the very same twisted racist "logic" as the Nazis.
You know what they say... history doesn't always repeat itself but it often rhymes.
I'm sure I'd believe what you had to say if you didn't support murdering children and journalists
You realize westerners regularly go to Gaza and don’t end up thrown off buildings, right?
In fact, right now they're more in danger of getting shot by the IDF, considering they keep shooting at marked press and aid workers and vehicles.
And here you are, lumping all Palestinians in with Hamas. I'm pretty sure the children that Israel is starving don't support Hamas (yet, Israel is doing wonders for their recruitment).
