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.
-
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.

Makes me wonder if they are intentionally bombing schools and hospitals or bombing cowardly Iranian leaders hiding under schools and hospitals. I often wonder what is worse 🤔
What I would say is that they are trying to simplify the narratives so that things are as simple as Iranians are the kind of people who hide under schools and hospitals so we don't have to reflect upon anything deeper about colonialism, jingoism and reflected ethnic conflicts being driven into a genocidal overdrive by cynical forces intent on nothing but destruction for profit and distractions for answers.
What matters is that children died who didn't have to, and that this was a choice by US and Iraeli leaders.
There was easily a timeline where those children didn't die, and I think it is a better one than this, both for Iranians and for jews and Israelis. I mean I don't need to qualify it, that timeline is better for all of us, this war is bullshit and the US and Iran started it. That is just the reality of it, as frustrating and heartbreaking as it is.
I return to a central point that no matter what happens in Iran, this attack was undertaken with ZERO internal, domestic accountability and independent of how you feel about Iranian leaders and Iranian politics, supporting this without massive reservations risks normalizing an absolutely evil precedent. Further even if it is revealed at a later point that Democrats were totally onboard with how these strikes went down, that is if anything even more damning of US politics.
We must all say no, and it doesn't really have to do with how evil or not evil the Iranian leadership was or is, it has to do with how we are all so obviously getting played for fools here. If nothing else, you should feel deeply condescended because you have been by this turn of geopolitical events no matter where you live on earth.
