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.

Yeah, I'm not buying that for a second. Just because there's no clear link between these settler groups and the Israeli government doesn't mean it doesn't exist. This is what Israel does. Displaces a population through force and violence and then settles the land for their own people.
No. There's a very clear link...
Here's the person in charge of Israeli police:

When you put a racist terrorist in charge of National Security. It's pretty impossible to seperate the administration from racist terrorists...
That's a good point. So, as far as I know, Ben-Gvir isn't directly associated with the folks behind the fake ad. However, that's missing the forest for the trees. The point is that it's too easy to see him and Bibi being behind the group.
What exactly aren't you buying?
It is literally not an advertisement for property. No one is advertising property for sale. Your speculation about the relationship between two groups not selling property seems pretty pointless in this case.
There are plenty things to be angry at Israel about. You shouldn't waste your time being angry about imaginary things.
I'm not buying the fact that Israel has no plans to settle Lebanon once they manage to displace enough people. We've seen it done many times to the Palestinians over the past 70+ years. There's no reason for anyone to believe they don't want to do the same here. They literally tried doing that in the 90s with the south of Lebanon, and Hezbolllah harassed them so much that they were forced to leave the area and give it back to Lebanon.
What's that got to do with me? I wasn't talking about whether Israel has plans to occupy or settle Lebanon. I was commenting on whether they are advertising property for sale, which they are not.
What do you mean what's that got to do with you? I never talked about you in the first place?
You:
I'm not selling that.
I'm not commenting on Israeli intentions in Lebanon. I'm not defending Israel or their aims. I'm just commenting on one small thing:
Is Israel advertising property for sale in Lebanon?
And they aren't.
I'm not trying to convince you that it has some big implication for their intentions in Lebanon. It doesn't. They just aren't advertising property for sale in Lebanon. Whatever Israel's intentions are, that claim is false.
The advertisement was made by an extremist settler group that went so far as to rename the areas in Lebanon with Hebrew names. There are too many extremists currently in the Israeli government for me to believe this some fringe group. And even if that were not the case, history has shown this is exactly the kind of thing Israel does.
