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.

It doesn't matter anyone's opinion on Isarel or Palestians or Palestine, rhe bottom line is this is likely the end game. The chances of gaza being occupied by anyone much less Palestians is near zero.
I think chances for the West Bank to survive are still there since they aren't controlled byHamas and Fatah have collaborated on security with Israel. But I still think hardliners crazies in Israel could successfully expand this to include the west Bank.
The bottom line is that by committing mass war crimes and crimes against humanity, Hamas has doomed itself and the entire Gaza strip.
I am NOT weighing in on right or wrong. I personally don't think there are any innocent governments in this. I'm simply saying that by giving up the high ground and committing these crimes, Gaza has doomed itself, and Israel has enough internationally recognized pretext to end it all.
Gaza was doomed anyway. The West Bank was also doomed. Any land that the far-right fascists in Israel have their eyes on is doomed because they have the full force of the west backing them (no matter if they pretend to wag their finger at them from time to time) and they've got other countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia backing them. The plan all along was to take the land and it was only a matter of time. GG, enjoy your ethnostate, fascists.
Enjoy it but the trouble is, we in the US have those assholes occasionally wagging a finger, while scooping every public dollar into buckets to shower on these Israeli assholes while they scream about wokeness and gay folk and trans folk and who’s bathroom is who’s….all the while actively trying to bring about a holy war they think will bring jeebus back or whatever.
Radical religious terrorism is the thing that will keep us from reaching the stars. We’re not ready for other cultures when we can’t even manage our own
The US has to side with Israel on an ideological level because it is just as culpable for what it did to the indigenous inhabitants of North America who lived there first.
Will people stop using war crimes so flippantly.
Intentionally targeting civilian populations is a war crime. It's a war crime when Israel has done it, and it's one now as Hamas (with the help of Iran and Lebbanon) are doing it.
