-
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.
-
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.

Hamas isn't Palestine. They don't represent the Palestinian people. It's not because Hamas took her that she was betrayed by Palestinians.
Do they represent the Palestinians who voted for them? I mean, I get it, Nazi Republicans don't represent me. But there are some Americans these fascists do represent.
Also, the pro-Hamas supporters are also Palestinians., right?
I think it's best highlighted that not all Palestinans support Hamas instead of pretending there's none who do. You can also point out that in the west Bank Fatah is the dominate party, and the West Bank are Palestinians also.
There's endless threads lately trying to equate Hamas with all Palestinians, and lots of threads trying to say they represent none of the Palestinians. Neither is true.
No I guess you're right. I mean if they represented no one, there wouldn't be a Hamas. But I'm fairly certain that's a minority. The rest, the regular people, just want peace and a normal life.
It does not matter in this case whether they have support or not. Israel funded Hamas against the PLO, hoping to deter a two state solution by pointing to the angry Islamists they funded. Netanyahu openly said it, and bragged.
They even assassinated other leg secular leaders. Netanyahu and the Mossad are responsible for tying the fate of the Palestinians to Hamas. And they share responsibility for the slaughter too.
The more I read the more it seem Hamas works for Bibi.
Bibi was having a popularity problem. Now it doesn't matter.
The targets are mostly from the opposition to Bibi.
This gives him the excuse he was waiting to level Gaza.
Too many timely coincidences.
But maybe I'm just being paranoid.
Right? It's just too convenient.
Netanyahu and the Mossad literally funded Hamas against the left secular PLO. They have the blood of innocents on their hands.
Do you have any sources about this? I wouldn't have any trouble believing you, but I always prefer when there's facts to look up.
Good instinct to ask for sources, but I'd add that one can never underestimate the depravity capable by an apartheid, genocidal state.

Oooooooooohhhhh wow! Holy shit.
Amazing article. Thank you so much.
They enjoy very wide support amongst the populace so they do represent many Palestinians, probably a majority?
Because they control the infrastructure, hospitals etc. This is the result of Israel assassinating other political leaders and funding Hamas. Netanyahu and the Mossad did it on purpose. Its their own fault.
