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.

A good move by Turkey.
At the surface level - itd call it moralistic at best.
~~Whether it was a good move - Israel is something like 76% of Turkey exports. You think that will bode well for jobs and general quality of life?~~
Sorry, looks like it's much less. Going to have to go back and check where I found that.
Edit: great, now confused. I think it's 76% of Israel imports was turkey exports. Source is Bloomberg, but posted on .ml

Its so refreshing to see actual data instead of people just constantly making shit up
Still verify when you can. AI will get better at spitting out graphics like this.
There is a very good reason I refused to argue with UNCOMTRADE - wherever I read that it was 79% has considerable less authority than even a 5 second search on COMTRADE.
Found it - 76% of Israel import from Turkey
https://lemmy.ml/post/15161455
Although it was a misreading, I do appreciate you making the effort to come back with a source.
Thank you for sticking to facts and data instead of accusation and personal assumptions
That says Turkish exports constituted 76% of the total bilateral trade amount between the two countries. They both have many larger trading partners separate from their bilateral trade relationship
Israel is 2.8% of Turkeys exports.
Quality post +1
Found the link- looks like 76% of Israel imports are Turkey exports. Excuse the .ml link
https://lemmy.ml/post/15161455
Interesting, other than it being linked to .ml, and the article being paywalled:
Total trade between the two countries is worth $6.8, 76% of that $6.8 billion is made up Turkist exports. That doesn't mean that Israel buys 76% of Turkeys exported products.

Thank you - post updated
Are you some kind of CEO? You're implying that you should abandon your morals if it hurts your bottom line.
You wanted to insult the Turkish government but you just wound up making them sound awesome
When you as a government are talking about the welfare of your people, yes, I expect them to look after their own.
Another person clarified eairler - looks like my number was ~20× inflated. Will need to check my source as that changed the effects considerably.
