A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

It is called torture. As in they are increasingly using torture on women and children
Let’s remember the polling data.
Another question asked in the aChord poll was to what extent respondents agreed with the statement that "there are no innocent people in Gaza." Sixty-four percent agreed with it to a large extent (describing their agreement as between 4 and 6 on a scale in which 1 is total disagreement and 6 is complete agreement). Among supporters of the governing coalition, 87 percent agreed with the statement to a large extent. Among supporters of Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu party and other right-wing voters who don't support the coalition, 73 percent largely agreed. Among voters for centrist parties, the comparable figure was 67 percent, while among left-wing voters, 30 percent largely agreed. Among Arab Israeli respondents, 92 percent disagreed (meaning that they ranked their agreement as between 1 and 3).
If there are no innocents in Gaza, then why would the average Israeli even feel shame for what the IOF does? It’s all a part of the genocide. It will not end voluntarily. It seems that there must be force involved to stop it.
Learning in my 20’s of what Israel, the righteous land that we praised in song during Seders, had done in the past, is part of what turned me away.
Never Again is an absolute. There can be no genocide allowed, regardless of who the people are.
“Children in solitary confinement” should be a sentence that no one has ever uttered. Well, according to a significant number of Israeli’s, that kid was going to become a terrorist, so they should nip it in the bud.
Increasingly common rapes by dogs and increasingly common children detaining? I'm sure this won't end catastrophically awfully.
