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.

MODERATORS
On the other hand, he's the type of person that gets the remotely moderate politician like Yitzhak Rabin shot.
If he's getting Israeli politicians shot that's even better.
You're missing the quote marks around "moderate"
Rabin getting shot didn't work out for Palestinians, and he was only halfway trying to do anything good. What makes you think more extreme pariah status will solve the issue that Israelis firmly believe they own the land and see it as their home and have the guns to back it up? Israel could easily North Korea itself, never mind the nukes, and the people that would suffer most are the Palestinians. And no one's gonna fucking invade it to stop it because, again, nukes.
The situation in west bank is exactly as Rabin wanted a lesser than a state where Israel is still in control with palestinians traitors participating in israel colonial security while not protecting palestinians from settlers
And yet he was shot for it, and as a result no one will even consider going left of that.
Yes. It doesn't make Rabin any better then if he wasn't killed though
i'm not saying he's good, i'm saying that him being shot is bad. Especially when the alternative is fucking Ben Gvir.
I agree that assasinating Netenyahu won't help. Same with Trump because the issue is systemstic. I just have no faith that Bennett would be any better than any other candidate
Rabin explicitly said he adjusted the Oslo Accords so the Palestinians would not get a state but "something less than a state" and then he would continue the indefinite Zionist land grab.
There is literally no difference between Rabin and Ben Gvir in their end goals. Rabin just did it more diplomatically so idiots would support his genocide.

I'm sure the many, many thousands killed in Palestine over the past 3 years are grateful to your belief that the guy who has been killing them is entirely identical to the guy who kept them alive as second class citizens but yet still alive.
