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.

At least the US pier headed for Gaza is making progress.
The pier is just more theater like these air drops. In 2 months when the pier is ready for use, thousands will have already died of starvation.
Well yeah when you think it's imaginary it's theatric.
The aid really is rolling in though. The mass starvation has not happened.
It's weird that when Hamas went on and did October 7th they didn't have enough food stored up to feed everyone for as long as Hamas leaders planned to hide underground during the resultant seige.
Plenty of rocket launchers, though.
Over 64% of people in Gaza were food insecure before this latest Massacre due to the Blockade.
Yes North Gaza has the worst hunger crisis. That was Hamas's stronghold. Sounds like poor planning for siege warfare but then all the Hamas muckety mucks went and made it out through the tunnels didn't they? Only left their people behind. If I were prosecuting the war I would have told people to evacuate from North Gaza five months ago and then would go door to door to make sure everyone was gone. Troops might get jumpy though sneaking around alleyways, definitely not safe, probably should have evacuated. Might have, too, if Hamas wasn't there telling everyone it was just a hoax and to instead all have big family gatherings right on top of the tunnels and then turn off their phones.
You see a story like "whole families wiped out" and that's it. You are looking for someone to immediately blame and it's super easy to blame the people that sent the bomb. Next time, take a deep breath and think about it for a few seconds maybe you'll start asking yourself actually relevant questions to figure or who actually wants those people to be killed and who actually just wants the killing to stop.
Totally, it's not like Israel has been deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure. Including 'safe zones,' many times without any warning.
“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly"
Fuck the pier.
Imagine someone was setting your house on fire and another guy named Joe was handing him cash and oil to keep setting fire to your house. Joe told him to stop as he handed the guy more oil, but he didn't so Joe promised to install a hose in the front lawn of your house that should be ready in about 3 months to help put out some of the fire.
The US needs to stop supplying and protecting Israel first and foremost. Anything else is PR.
Bro, some people just can't stay on topic.
They always have to resort to some bullshit analogy, lol.
