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.

That's actually not true, at least not anymore.
Anyway, if we're not blaming Palestinians for electing Hamas, we shouldn't be blaming Jews for electing Netanyahu.
Political propaganda is real problem for everyone, and those who know better need to be morally consistent role models for the rest, or we're doomed to repeat history over and over.
When was the last election in Gaza again?
Pretty sure I just read a poll on here a day or two ago saying that they support the actions in Gaza.
Let me find it...
Edit: here it is
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-08-05/ty-article/.premium/large-majority-of-israeli-jews-untroubled-by-reports-of-famine-in-gaza-poll-finds/00000198-7ab3-d0ce-a5de-fbb374f30000
"Troubled" is a weird way of wording the question. It's not the same as "support" per se, but it's bad enough I concede your point. I'm probably getting a biased perspective from more progressive Israelis.
If palestinians has better options they would get it how csn you organize elections when you sre occupied to? Isrsel is a drmocracy by name they have elections with ton of options yet they voted for him 6 godamn times because they love prime minister hostile to palestinians that would prevent a palestinians state
I agree, but political propaganda is what it is.
I wouldn't be surprised if most Israeli voters are deeply misinformed about what is really happening, and most people don't care to question what they know, since most people are just trying to get through the day and live their best lives.
Blame has to go to those in power. Blaming people for voting wrong doesn't achieve anything.
Extremists are played in their tv channels all the time. I simply don't how it's imposible for anybody to know the amount of attrocities their is not only in gaza but also in the west bank
I don't think it's impossible (sorry, I know that was a typo) and I'm sure a significant minority are aware, and they are the Israelis actually voting on the right side of history.
But, it's easier than you think for a huge number of people to be woefully wrong about the people they are voting. The best example of this in the world right now is Donald Trump and his Republican party.
Trump's so obviously tyrannical it's hard to imagine anyone not knowing, and yet around half of those who voted, voted for him. Objectivity there cannot be that many psychopaths in the population, so what explains their belief in him?
Occam's razor suggests it has to be ignorance.
I've no doubt the technology, the Internet and social media algorithms in particular, have played their role. Fox news too, and now the Podcastisphere. Media echo chambers are a relatively new phenomenon and it's taken a little while for bad faith actors (mostly on the right, and in oligharical circles) to twist the narrative in their favour, but here we are.
There's every possibility it's the same for most Israelis in the default case.
Naturally, in any nation with crippled media, propagandistic control is going to be even worse (like Hamas's Gaza, Iran, previously occupied Syria, etc.). So it just doesn't make sense to blame voters is all I'm saying, because they think they're making the right voting choice in the end.
