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.

Nobody is asking Hamas how many Palestinians they are willing to sacrifice in their wish to erase Israel from the map.
Sorry, but last time I checked Israel is killing those civilians in throves. And don't get me wrong I don't sympathize with Hamas, but saying that the civilian Palestinian casualties are their fault is very much twisting the truth.
Are you also going to blame the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding there also Hamas fault? Are Hamas bombing civilian buildings in densely populated areas with oversized bombs?
Perhaps we should blame Hamas for the global warming too with your logic.
What did Hamas expect the response would be? Let me answer the rhetorical question: Mass civilian casualties. Why? Because they are embedded in the population. "Bombing civilian buildings" means little. Where are the military buildings they should bomb instead? Why is Hamas still holding hostages?
If you think that Israel should have the right to exist, what do you think their response should have been to the Oct 7th? Hamas has said they are proud of their terrorism, will commit more Oct 7ths, and want to wipe Israel from the map. Should Isreal just kick back and wait for Hamas to terror attack again? Would you expect that of any country in the world? So then, what response?
It's a shame that people are dying. It is always the same when there is war, civilians suffer. Even dumber when the root of the conflict is over fucking fiction. Even dumber than that, if you can believe it, are people actually thinking there is a pure good or bad to any conflict. A pox on both their houses.
Probably because they're more concerned about how Gaza isn't allowed to have an economy right now.
They're not even allowed hospitals.
Nah, they're okay with that because they know it means more money in the pockets of their leaders in Qatar. Hamas never cared about the Palestinian people and they still don't.
I'm confused. Isn't Israel the one dropping the bombs?
Hamas is still lobbing missiles at Israel daily, and don't forget, holding quite a few hostages. Like I said, I wonder how many Palestinians Hamas is willing to sacrafice.
You totally avoided my question. Who is bombing Gaza? Because I'm pretty fucking sure it isn't Hamas
Ah, I see. Someone incapable of nuance. I'll just block and move on. It's like arguing with a kitchen table.
My man is so nuanced he can blame Hamas for the actions of Israel and can see how up is actually just the same as down if you're all smart and nuanced about it
