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.

This conflict is thousands of years old, and more retarded by the day.
Why can’t people just grow up?
It's closer to 80 years old, just after WW2 with the zionist movement.
coughs in Crusades
Ah yes, the infamous Jewish crusades.
Just referring to the notion that the area has been subject to a lot of fighting over the ownership for a long time.
You can say that about every stretch of land around the globe
Europe entered the chat
Muslims, Christians and Jews lived together without conflict for most of those thousands of years. With a few exceptions like the Crusades, which was mostly the Christians fault.
The idea that the current conflict is complex, ancient and impossible to understand is Israeli propoganda to make most people afraid to be wrong rater than rightfully criticize them.
The history of the Middle East consists of seemingly nothing but bloody conflict for as far back as anyone knows and beyond past any records.
I do not support the current conflict or think that it’s somehow ‘meant to be’.
It would be lovely if various groups stopped being such shits to each other and just lived together without acrimonious arseholery, but people are pathetic, greedy and on the whole rather stupid. This goes for anywhere on the planet.
Never mind. This too shall pass. Humanity’s reign is not going to last for many more centuries. Plants will grow over the bones of our so-called civilisations, and what other animals survive will repopulate and evolve into new diversity to refill the ecological gaps vacated by our extinction-level spread of death.
Do you even history?
