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.

I am astonished how silent the west is. Why not a single nation is required to conduct independent investigation and require accountability on Israel's side.
What happened on the 7th of October was horrible but it is not giving Israel a carte blanche to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Repub or Dem no American in power will censure Israel b/c the U.S. will do nothing to jeopardize our military reach there. It's a sad fact that is at the basis of all of this, and this fundamental misunderstanding cost Kamala a lot of voters
Everyone wants to pretend it's satanism or globalism or communism or whatever fucking ism is the bad guy this week but really it's just that the U.S. refuses to give up willingly the title of 'world's best warlord'
I also wonder what are the israelian citizens doing/thinking? Are they all as extreme as Netanjahu? Or am i just missing their demonstrations against genocide?

That's fucking disgusting. Even at the start of Russian invasion, their citizens were protesting and going to jail for it. Never saw the same from israeli citizens. Guess this explains why.
like every population they are mixed, and there have been public protests so at least there is some opposition
Mostly I think the average person is just low information and agitated with a constant background of fear and confusion, tribalistic and relying on gut feeling over rationality
There are also some ridiculously greedy and violent bandits that will kill a family for land, but they are in the minority.
They elected Netanyahu in a democratic way. Israeli citizens have zero empathy from me.
This is what eventually broke me during the last Trump vs. Biden/Harris election.
I understand a lot of people shit on (non)voters like me, but it was the first time in 20 years that I could not vote either way. I always thought it would get bad, and then worse, and then worse still, but I honestly thought eventually the Biden Admin would grow a pair of gonads and say "enough". Right around the time the video was released of Israelis setting Palestinians on fire in the Hospital and the IDF throwing people off of roofs, that's when just something inside of me died.
And it really boggles my head that you have only two political parties there. Like what the heck, what kind of democracy is this?
It's not a democracy it's a representative democracy so basically we have a giant suggestion box that our elected leaders can look at and say "I'll consider that in my vote in Congress".
^Propaganda account
You caught me
Why even do it? You can't be that truly nihilistic
Don't let people shame you into the lesser of two evils argument because it's your vote at the end of the day. I heard all sides for the past 10 years now and honestly we got to Trump because of Hillary and not having a party that stood for anything.
It's not lesser of two evils it's inaction that's the issue "the world sucks so let me do absolutely nothing about it whaaaa" just fuck right off to a forest cabin or smt instead of spreading your shit defeatism onto others.
You mean like how democrats love to claim their hands are tied on any issue that benefits the common person? Pointing out that electoralism hasn't worked isn't defeatism, it's recognizing reality.
Not what I said. If you think the Democratic party is going to save you than go ahead and keep voting for Chuck Schumer's fetal position strategy because it's your vote and you shouldn't be shamed in voting one way or another same as this guy doing whatever he wants with his vote. That's it.
