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.

MODERATORS
Note that this means "83% of people killed were civilians", not that 83% of civilians were killed. As the graph in the article illustrates, that puts this neck and neck with other recent genocides:
Notably, Hamas on Oct 7 killed two civilians for every military casualty. By the IDF's own numbers, the IDF are literally greater terrorists than Hamas. Hamas literally does a better job at avoiding civilian casualties than the IDF does.
If you qualify military targets the way the IDF does then Hamas killed over 90% military targets on october 7.
And we'll likely never know how many civilians/soldiers were killed by Israel issuing the Hannibal Directive on October 7th. Something we do know they issued that day.
Yes. Israel has a protocol that says "killing/harming our own people is preferred to them being kidnapped".
The fact that this sentence can be said, unironically, and backed with data, is kinda depressing.
95% civilians of mariupol? Holy fuck
Yes, that's the result of Russia "liberating" a city. I'm surprised Grozny doesn't show up here - enough civilians got away, I guess. The city itself was completely obliterated.
In any case, it is civs/total deads.. and maybe Grozny didn't got enough press.
Since Mariupol i have welded in my mind the russian word for children. Freaking animals.
Yup. This is why I had to ban someone posting Russian propaganda from a Pro-Russia Mariupol Youtube channel.
"Look how much better things are with Russia instead of Ukraine!" bullshit.

you should ban zionists who deny the genocide that killed 85% of civilians too
I absolutely do, but that doesn't come up as often. Most often it's the anti-zionists advocating murder, death, and destruction.
I have reported guys talking about how palestinians voted for hamas or denying occupation
Unfortunately, Palestinians DID vote for Hamas. That on it's own is not removable.
It ignores the larger context of WHY they voted for Hamas, a decade of Israeli abuses going back to the 90s and treating the previous elected party (PLO) as terrorists and not a legitimate government, but it doesn't change the fact that Hamas were elected.

It is always used to blame palestinian to what happened to them
And that’s if we believe the Israelis aren’t lying to cover their genocide.
