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.

The last 9 months have made it very clear that Hamas is a national liberation movement and Israel is a savage coloniser. As a result Zionist propaganda has gone into overdrive.
Just because Israel is committing horrific crimes in Gaza doesn't mean that Hamas is good. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is the a big part of the reason why the US is allied with Israel in the first place.
Hamas was bad for the people Gaza, which is exactly why Netanyahu enabled and supported them in the first place.

Obviously, Israel is far worse for the people of both Gaza and the West Bank, but Israel's genocide and their apartheid does not make Hamas good and their idea of Palestinian liberation is a theocratic form of "liberation" that should not be supported.
That's a different issue entirely. I was responding to the person that claims they are a national liberation movement. They aren't, because a theocracy is not liberation. Maybe they are Palestine's only hope right now, but that doesn't mean they are good, that means that no one who should be fighting for Palestine is doing so.
I assume no one here would be calling ISIS a national liberation movement if they were the only ones fighting Israel. At least I hope not.
Ah, didn't notice you were a troll account that joined an hour ago. Toodles.
Thats not entirely true. Hamas is a theocratic terrorist organization that kills civilians. They don't care about the people of Gaza.
Israel is a theocratic terrorist organisation that mass murders civilians. They don't care about the people of Gaza.
Yeah that's true as well but Hamas is not some group of freedom fighters that respect civilian lives.
I always see Hamas killing civilian, but when you force people to serve in the military, gave them easy access to weapon, that line becomes very hard.
