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.

People outside the US do not care about that. This is probably in response to Iranians chanting "Death to Israel". The Middle East has a problem with chanting "death to" things. It's pretty messed up over there.
You'd have a point except this march takes place every year and every year there's an outbreak of violence around the temple mount. Also there are Israeli Arabs (born and raised in Israel ) who funnily enough are Israeli citizens and have fuck all to do with Iran.
Yeah because Arabs have never chanted "death to Israel" or Hamas had the first charter of their government as the destruction of Israel...
Wtf does Arabs living in Israel have to do with anything? Also there are very few Arabs with citizenship, almost all are 2nd class with limited to no to rights.
Note: being critical of the Arabs in no way excuses Israel's current and ongoing Genocide of Palestinians...
You don't think the idea that the Israeli nationalists are Marching around chanting death to an ethnic minority of their Nation is relevant or concerning? That seems extremely important to me. I think it's extremely important to anyone who studied the rise of fascism in multiple democracies throughout the world.
Something being important, and something being relevant to the point being discussed can be different.
The point being discussed is that they are Marching around shouting death to this ethnic minority. That's the topic we're talking about. So yeah the thing that's happening that this article is reporting on is relevant to the discussion on the article. That's how this whole thing works.
Why are you so surprised if someone chanted that in response to these chants? People will obviously blame the oppressor in this situation. What's so confusing?
That is extremely disingenuous, there is no "response" both sides have been chanting for each other's death for fifty years plus.
Why only 50/75 years? Why not before that? Were they in love back then?
....they realize Arabs and Iranians aren't the same people right?
The Iranians support Palestinians with weapons (not food though). Hamas is a proxy of Iran, and I believe the same religion. There are very few Persians in Palestine. It would make no sense to chant directly against Iran.
As with everything in the Middle East, it's complicated.
Hamas is Sunni, Iran is Shiite. They’re aligned out of convenience more than religion. The Middle East isn’t actually that complicated, the idea that it is so complicated is peddled to scare people from actually understanding the region and forming their own conclusions, usually out of fear that the listener might not find a genocidal European colony to be “the good guys”.
Ah, then it makes sense that Iran provides no real support to the Palestinians. They're a different religion, so the Iranian regime only has an interest in using them against Israel.
I mean there's probably other reasons Iran can't really help the Palestinians. More practical reasons having to do with logistics, economy, cost, geopolitics, potential consequences/sanctions, etc.
Okay tap the brakes. Let's not let that pendulum swing too far the other way here. Iran doesn't really help the Palestinians because they don't actually care about the Palestinians. That's very obvious to everyone I don't think we have to pretend otherwise.
Ehh tru. I'm just saying, that even if they wanted to help, they'd have their hands tied in other ways too.
Not as complicated as the bs you're trying to push.
... Iranians are not even Arab? they're Persian
It's an annual march.
