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.

Dude that’s not even the proximate case
So Iranian proxies attacking Israel for years was completely irrelevant to Israel attacking Iran? Bullshit.
So Israel entrenching their apartheid state for decades instead of working towards a more collaborative and egalitarian future with their neighboring countries and cultures was completely irrelevant to Israel attacking Iran? Bullshit.
You’re cherry-picking one-off justifications in a context that has history going back for literal millennia.
besides israel has been attacking iran for decades, and instigating most of the violence in the region.
Assuming you actually think that is a valid argument, let me ask you a question: How well are Jews treated in e.g. Yemen, do you think?
Probably similar to the thousands of Jews that live peacefully in Iran?
I see that you base your worldview on whichever fantasy makes you feel good in the moment, not reality or actually looking up facts. Good to know.
What facts did I make-up? Do Jews not live in Iran?
I admit that your post was 100% fact free. So you did not make up any facts, I admit.
You mean the ones that have "death to Israel" as a slogan? C'mon people. Don't lionize Iran just because you're angry at Israel and the US.
Did you ever stop to think why they say that?
Counldnt have anything to do with the way Isriel has treated muslim neighbours could it now.
Edit: let me be clear.
Fuck the Iranian government and its burtal oppression of its people.
But fuck the US for making it worse.
They've said it since the '70s. Maybe instead of entrenching their theocratic dictatorship for decades they should be working towards a more collaborative and egalitarian future with their neighboring countries and cultures.
what else happened about then.....
And what happened before that? And before that? And before that? This is how all these discussions go. But you blame Israel for not "cozing up" to a regime that literally does not recognize their legitimacy and has done so for 50 years while it has also funded terror groups to attack them.
I'm sorry but there is not black and white here.
Israel has a long history of funding terrorism as well. In the 1950s, Zionists secretly performed terrorist attacks on Jewish synagogues and communities around the middle east. This was done in an effort to make them feel unsafe in Arab countries to promote migrations to the newly-formed country of Israel. Before this, Jewish people largely lived at peace alongside Muslims, as they were traditionally considered "People of the Book" due to their shared Abrahamic-religious background.
Furthermore, Netanyahu's government has a history of funding Hamas to prevent the more moderate Palestinian Authority from representing Palestinians. Up until Oct. 7, Netanyahu was funneling 35 million dollars a month to Hamas through Qatar, with over 1 billion dollars transferred in total. He would do anything to prevent a two-state solution, and was also desperate for a distraction from his 10-year long corruption investigation.
Israel has no right to exist, its a literal nazi state, fuck you for defending its existence and fuck everyone else who does so
