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.

I dunno, how many babies did Hamas terrorists decapitate?
So far, zero confirmed.
How does it matter how exactly they kill innocent people, including children of all ages?
Why would you even start to argue about this one specific detail? Because it is the only one where solid proof has not surfaced so far? What is there to gain?
My comment should not be read as an endorsement of Hamas behaviour, because it's not.
It doesn't matter. Children dying from decapitation is equally bad as children dying from airstrikes.
Is that worse than children dying of starvation, constant destruction of infrastructure and housing, or fuel and food blockades? Does it matter if the violence is directly inflicted or is just institutionalized?
Ok so address the fact that Israel has killed 36x more children
Lol, what?
He said the wrong thing then got corrected.
"How does that matter!!" - you
Because he proved the narrative false, therefore the topic must be changed to a personal attack.
Ding ding ding! Because some people are not on the side of truth but instead blindly support their "team" like a football hooligan.
Where is the personal attack...?
I find it extremely odd that people argue about that those 40 babies are not confirmed beheaded. As if that matters? Nothing changes if that were confirmed. Or when it were only 20 that were beheaded.
Are you saying evidence and proof don’t matter?
Because it does matter if it were 0 babies and they lied saying it was any number greater than one.
I can send you a link to a baby that was burned to charcoal, together with the parents - in case you think stuff like that did not happen. NSFL, obviously, so not going to randomly link that here. There is zero question that such fucked up shit happened. The question is only about exact numbers or how exactly they were murdered.
Let's see confirmation of your claim, then.
What claim? You want me to prove that it hasn't been proven?
prove I don't exist!
Let's ask Netanyahu and IDF for some confirmation of THEIR claim, then.
Weird how you people think decapitations outweigh airstrikes.
Yeah, it's gruesome and you can see the perpetrator, but that's really it.
Israel constantly gets to hold some high ground in your mind because airstrikes on civilians are 'civilized' while shooting civilians is 'barbaric.'
Killing civilians is killing civilians. Israel is king in that regard.
Shouldn't you know? Why are people so happy to not know the basic facts of what they have opinions on?
The number, since you don't know, and it seems you fucking should, is over 550. That's the count for children, killed by Israel, since Saturday.
Oh, and the number of babies beheaded by Hamas? Zero. Had it happened, media would he all over it. Oh, and the whitehouse would certainly not have to do a correction that in fact Biden had not seen any pictures of it.
It's ok to think a little bit critically. You should try it.
