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.

The lack of diplomacy is sickening. Both peoples should be able to live in harmony but both sides want to hurt the other. It has to stop and that starts with the government talking to one another.
That last part is the most important. Everyone wants a fight.
The possibility of peace and harmony is completely and totally irrelevant so long as the people demand bloodshed.
Solomon offered to split the child, and awarded custody to the woman willing to give him up. That story has a much different ending when both women would rather the child be divided than allow the other to prevail.
It's stupid to the core. They are fighting a war that serves no purpose. All they know is they have been told not to like the other side for something that happened eons ago.
Yeah you're missing a piece. There is no peace in Palestine, it's not like they "stop fighting" and Israel will stop oppressing them. Israel wants the land, and the Palestinians have nowhere else to go. There is no way out from there.
It's difficult to talk with an organization who's stated purpose is the murder and destruction of your country. Doubly so when they have a proven track record of 15 years of negotiating ceasefires only after they ran out of rockets to use against civilians.
Bottom line, Israel has stated the goal is to completely and permanently disarm Hamas and any other armed group in Gaza. Israelis will not accept any solution that leaves even a possibility for October 7th to repeat itself.
Even a humanitarian ceasefire will be unlikely until after the ground campaign starts.
Israel will accept nothing that might prevent the ethnic cleansing and the stealing of the land you mean. Were you forgetting that part?
No.
Please engage in a civil and open minded manner.
I did. It's not uncivil because you don't like it.
It's dishonest to pretend the other side shares your point of view, thus ignoring their point of view, as if it would not exist.
A bit ironic to do so in a subthread which is all about the two sides should talk to each other.
Maybe it only underlines how hard that is. We here have no stakes in that game and still cannot at least acknowledge other positions.
So we agree it was perfectly civil. Good.
