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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

A mass murder of innocent Australians at the beach, on the other side of the globe. All because Israel is annihilating a terrorist organization that invaded their borders two years ago in order to rape and murder hundreds of civilians.
Yeah... Fuck those guys.
If Israel were only targeting a terrorist org, nobody would have a problem.
Kids aren't terrorists.

“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.”
The difference being that the Russian army doesn't hide in and amongst their civilian population. Hamas does and has built their infrastructure under the whole bloody Gaza strip.
Hamas brought this upon their population through their past and present actions.
That doesn't excuse snipers from shooting kids in the head and chest. That's not collateral damage, that's intentional. And they BRAG about it.
A terrorist organisation and every other living thing in the area. So noble....
That's what happens when the terror organization uses its population as human shields. So fucking noble.
Justifies genocide does it?
What about the “terrorists” in the Warsaw Ghetto? What would you have advocated be done to them. And their kids. And those who look like them.
History is not a serving suggestion.
Oh, you're for real an Israel apologist. I for a second thought you might just be naive, but no, it's much worse. You're a genocide supporter.
I'm no apologist, just a normal Israeli that knows what's really going on less than 20km from my home and hasn't been totally brainwashed by the media.
Israel is built on hideous racist militant principals. You have fallen for it hook line and sinker. Don’t condescend to cast aspersions on others’ ability to see through propaganda.
What's going on close to your home does not absolve Israel from committing war crimes for the last 30 years.
Oh so you aren't discounting the hypothesis... You are denying a genocide.
That's much worse. :(
Israeli propaganda is a disease, please get well soon.
