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.

What the fuck? No it's not. Israel is a literal Apartheid state. The fuck are they better than Iran.
What the fuck you, guy. Utterly divorced from reality. Iran has as its guiding religious and political purpose the genocide of all Jews and Christians in the middle east, same goals as Hamas.
They think God is on their side and so they don't realize that they are no match for Israel. When they do finally take their shot at Israel, tens of millions of people will be killed, notably when Israel turns Tehran into a sheet of glass. Think about how sads you are about 30,000 deaths and then try out how you might feel over 30,000,000 deaths. Utterly delusional assessment, as is calling Israel an apartheid state. The defining feature of apartheid is minority rule over the majority of its citizens. Israel doesn't have that. Not only are Gazans not citizens of Israel, they aren't citizens of any country. Israel is in fact, in law, and in political science a flawed democracy, same as America, which is by every concievable metric better than Iran, unless you use metrics such as "public executions carried out by secret religious police" or "number of human rights trampled because Mosque Daddy says so."
It's absolutely stunning that you don't realize this and so I have to ask, how far did you go in school and what did you study?
Uh... You do realize Hamas accepted a two-state solution ages ago, and that Gaza actually has Christians, right? I also hope you do realize that the fact that Gazans being stateless makes Israel more of an Apartheid state. Or maybe you'd prefer "settler colonialist state subjecting Palestinians to a brutal occupation"?
Anyway I'll probably regret engaging with this steaming pile of propaganda, but I'll ask: How do you feel about this, this and this?
There is no two state solution for Gaza. Terrorists don't get to have a state.
Well, you just revealed your true colors. Congrats.
And, I hope so, because I'm not lying or hiding anything. I don't have other colors.
Who's going to rebuild the cities, you?
Doesn't Iran have loyal Jewish citizens?
They should totally know they are about to be genocided... /s
There are Palestinians in Israel.
Someone should warn them too, right? Since Israel is doing a genocide of all Palestinians. 🤡
Absolutely, who knows what will happen when these racists are done with Gaza.
Do you know anything at all about Palestinians in Israel? Because you sound super ignorant. Do you know how many of them get killed or harassed or fired?
Israel is doing a literal genocide. It's hard to get much worse than that.
Don't worry, Israel is going to sacrifice the red cow this month - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-west-bank-settlers-red-cows-third-temple Israel's crazy death cult religion wants to bring about the end of the world with fire to cleanse the world during rapture, so your sick-fuck wish might come true.
EDIT - https://allisrael.com/blog/what-do-five-red-heifers-have-to-do-with-the-oct-7-massacre <- Israeli source in case you think this is some anti-semetic hogwash, it's not. They just omit in the article the slaughtering of the cow as part of the ritual.
Uh... Literally yes. You're strawmanning hard, but even with your strawman literally yes. Israel is just that bad.
Are you seriously suggesting that Iran is better than Israel in any possible terms? Some people are so far up their ass.
Uh... Only one of these is committing genocide. Only one is an Apartheid state. Only one supports fucking ISIS. Y'all need to get your heads out of your asses and look at reality.
There's no racial segregation in Israel if you are implying that. There's no ISIS support either. And there's no genocide because killing is not indiscriminate. If it were there would be no Gaza left.
This would be so hilarious if it wasn't so sad.
Well if anything it goes to show you decided on you think is going on and everything else needs to bend to support that idea.
You can learn more in the Apartheid Reports
Amnesty International Report
Human Rights Watch Report
B'TSelem Report with quick Explainer
Fuck off with your tired excuses. You're right though, the killing isn't indescriminate, they skillfully target aid workers, refugee convoys and hospitals. Israel isn't an independent actor, they are killing as many as they possibly can while still maintaining just enough support to continue arms sales from the US. Even the UK government is considering halting transfers because of a fear of complicity in genocide.
I am sure by the time this pogrom ends your words will come true. First Gaza then west bank. That is the plan of Israel.
