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.

>Israel didn’t start this
this didn't start october 7
And your point? Being "oppressed" gives you the right to rape and kill innocent civillians? Sure it didn't start 7th October. Israel has been attacked multiple times before, as well, with the goal of exterminating Israel as a state. Of course they have to defend themselves
>Being “oppressed” gives you the right to rape and kill innocent civillians?
that didn't happen
What didn't happen? There's countless evidence
all the rape accusations i've heard have been dubious at best. much of it hearsay. what evidence do you have?
as for the killing, i'm sure some of that happened, but i'm also sure that there weren't any hamas members flying apaches that day, so i won't be attributing any numbers until there is some sort of verification of who was killed by israeli occupation forces and who was killed by hamas.
>Of course they have to defend themselves
this is a defense. it's a genocide in a ghetto.
It's not a genocide. It's a very bloody war, to get rid of Hamas. A genocide is what happened to the jews in ww2. This can't be compared
> A genocide is what happened to the jews in ww2. This can’t be compared
it absolutely can be, since it's the systematic murder of an ethnic minority by a fascist ethnostate.
Palestine is much more of an ethnostate than Israel. There's about 2,1 million arabs living in Israel. Out of 9,8 million inhabitants, that's pretty significant
As for the systematic murder, it's not. They're getting rid of Hamas, not all palestinians. Yes there's a lot of collateral due to Hamas using them as human shields, and due to it being a dense urban environement
palestine isn't a state. it's a ghetto.
>Yes there’s a lot of collateral due to Hamas using them as human shields
there is a sure way to avoid "collateral".
