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 Houthis keep shooting at civilians. Pretty expected the world would defend their people.
Israeli regime is actively murdering innocent civilians. Pretty expected groups like Houthis would fight back.
As bad as the IDF is behaving right now, sinking civilian cargo ships isn't exactly a good strategy for protesting these dead civilians.
And shooting aimlessly at Israeli citizens also doesn't help.
The flag of the houthi literally says "death to the Jews, death to America", if those guys are the ones you're rooting for...
You’re right but the first comment sounded to me as a justification for Israel to murder more innocent people (which I genuinely believe will happen).
EDIT;
Just because I’m giving a counter argument to someone, does not directly mean, I would support any of the sides. I notice an influx of this manipulation of words and comments. Kind of disappointed.
That would be like me now saying “if those guys [IDF] are the ones you are rooting for…” just because you mentioned that Houthi’s are not the good ones.
If you oppose "killing innocent civilians" and "fighting back", then that implies that the guys "fighting back" have a good reason and are therefore the good guys.
Let's be real here, the Houthi would have shot at Israel ten years ago, if they had the means. Gaza is just a justification for them. Again, they want to kill all jews. Not just Israel, all jews.
Israel was fucking up Gaza 10 years ago (and 50 ans 70 years) ago so I don't see your problem. Anyone in the Arab world who isn't bought and paid for by the US would've shot at Israel at any point after 1948.
I’m genuinely exhausted of Lemmy users trying to manipulate words and comments.
This is just not true. A group can fight back despite being “the bad ones”. Houthis have long claimed that Israel is their enemy but they started to take down ships and such because of Israel’s murdering in Gaza (hence fighting back for the Palestinian people).
Anyway*, like I said, I’m exhausted of the twisting words. So I will let it as it is.
Houthis have sworn that Israel is their enemy long before this. So yes, of course they would attack Israel. No, they are not using Gaza as a justification because they announced Israel is their enemy long before the entirety of 7th October and Israel’s genocide.
I will stop respond because, I’m about to sleep. After that, it is a new day and I won’t comment either. However, please, stop trying to twist and manipulate people’s comments. Debates can be respectful, meaningful and without manipulation.
This place is just reddit but with a smaller pool of opinions
lol.
Keep saluting your genocide flags and feeling superior.
The Houthis are shooting at random civilians. That isn't fighting back, that is shooting at random civilians. Both countries are in the wrong.
Israel is actively murdering innocent civilians (men, women and children). Israeli strikes kill 33 people in Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, medics say and that article is one out of hundreds.
That is not fighting back, that is bombing and murdering random civilians
Your first comment (the one above) looks like it gave a justification for Israel to murder more innocent civilians.
The "both sides" argument is as hollow as ever.
It's the genocidal zio invaders who are wrong. Always have been.
