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.

Helping "bad people"? There's nothing inherently more bad about Palestinians than any other nationality.
Was she supporting Hamas, or the Palestinian people?
Do you understand the difference between the two?
I'm not sure, could you elaborate?
It's like saying you love the US and someone asks why you love the KKK
That someone would be creating a strawman.
The KKK is not the ruling government of the US. The KKK has next to nothing for popular support. The KKK does not claim to be working in the best interests of all Americans.
Fair, but then let's replace KKK with the Republican party
Would that not be a fair question if the KKK had been the democratically elected, ruling party in the U.S. going on two decades now? E.G. asking a german in the early 1940's why they love the Nazis?
Then let's replace KKK with the Republican party
They're way ahead of ya.
Huh?
Doesn't really matter. The people largely and enthusiasticly support Hamas. Have we not learned this lesson from Russia and China and every other authoritarian state? They will have to be literally reprogrammed similar to the denazification of Germany.
You are just talking out your ass...
The Palestinian people are just like us. Most of them just want to exist in peace.
I thought Conan did a good job humanizing the very real Palestinians who are regular, peaceful individuals.
In the full episode, he goes around a market telling people their prices are "bullshit" as a 'negotiation technique' and they reacted better than many of my fellow Americans would have.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Yeah, and people are stupid, easily manipulated, and forged by their environment and religion. We aren't special, we're just rich and live in nations whose cultures are organized in part to stomp out hate.
I'm sure there are good people in Palestine who are truly opposed to the idea of purging the Jews. I'm also sure they're a minority.
But if you want to be all empathetic and go help the Palestinian people....
You'll be kidnapped and possibly killed because you don't align with their fantasy sky God.
You seem very sure of things you know little about. Blatantly jumping to conclusions.
Lady was literally kidnapped and recent polls show rising support for Hamas, above 50 percent. You should recognize a grape as a grape.
Look thru my comment history instead of being an idiot and jumping to conclusions about my beliefs and the complex conflict between Palestine and Isreal.
I do not support Hamas or Isreal in their expansionism and ethnic cleansing. You are being blatantly hypocritical if you support the human rights violations and mass murder of Palestinians by Isreal, while simultaneously condemning the terrorist attack by Hamas which targeted Isreali citizens.
Your use of emotional reasoning to justify the mass murder of Palestinians by Isreal is the same exact emotional reasoning being used by people trying to justify Hamas' terrorist attack against Isreal.
If you cannot see that, than it's because you're jumping thru hoops in your head to try to rationalize away the cognitive dissonance, or you're just too stupid to comprehend logic and language.
You're reading a whole lot of shit I didn't say here.
Never said you did.
My only real opinion there is that Israel is an American ally and doesn't side with the people running around chanting death to America, so I'm roughly on their side in that respect.
The emotional aspects don't matter and I don't particularly care about deaths on either side when they're all an ocean away. It's just two countries at war. They're both full of religious nutters, although Israel also probably wouldn't kill me for being an atheist so they're less bad in that respect as well.
And I said this lady was stupid for trying to help and aid a group of people who is really just hilariously evil. You're wasting your time and putting yourself in danger. I didn't justify any killings.
