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.
-
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.

What?
Do you think Israel was just empty land no one was using?
If the people who used to live their for generations attacked it the day after Israel was formed...
Doesn't that just mean they tried to fight off invaders to protect their home?
You're acting like Israel was somehow the victim for stealing a shit ton of land that was culturally significant to the rightful residents.
If me and my cousins showed up to your house, told you God gave it to us, would you "attack" us to defend your home? Or just go off and live on the street a couple miles away?
Millions of Germans were removed from east Europe after WW2, with 100'000s dieing. Nazis did not come back and terrorise those countries.
Something that happened 80 years ago is absolutely not a valid reason to keep killing your own and the "enemies" people.
I do t think k that happened.
Are you saying if Israel dissolved and left the area there's be peace? Finally, we agree on something.
You don't think it happened? This will get you started.
So that's your solution for the Israel conflict?
Send all the Israelis back to where they came from and let the native people have their land back?
Gotta say, little extreme for me, but you do you homie.
You ignore our previous discussion, do not acknowledge if you were right it wrong, and put absurd stuff in my mouth. What do you expect me to answer when you treat me like that in a discussion?
