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.

Hamas is literally the government in Gaza. It's not a joke so much as them sugg sting that they rely on their government for it's specific purpose.
Hamas has stockpiled reserves of supplies, but they keep them from the citizens. This isn't even counting their money, which could be used to provide aid for their citizens instead of wealth and weapons for themselves.
I think this is the key thing that makes me side with Israel. There is soo much "Israel this, illegal blockade that" when the literal Palestinian government has things they are holding from their citizens. That is an internal government decision.
Hamas is, at the end of the day, an organization dedicated to making martyrs of their people first and providing for them second.
This isn't speculation or opinion - this is their official stance
I love how easy it is for you to be onkwith this because you've been told they do in fact have a government. But they don't. Not really. A 45 square km patch, 2M total pop, with 50% being literal kids.
But yes they're just as organized ,capable and sustained as other large western nations. They must be bombed, surely!
They do literally have a government. Did you really think they don't? They even had elections until Hamas stopped those.
Yeah man we had elections at my high school too, they really amounted to a lot.
I'm glad Hamas wasn't in your high school, canceling elections.
If you think Gaza doesn't have a government then you are just factually incorrect and idk what else to tell you.
It's like if you came on here and acted confidently aloof about saying that Mars is blue. You're just wrong on a very basic level.
I mean, yes, Gaza was part of a sort of but not really a state (more of a Bantustan really) at the time. Now it's an actual, honest to God ghetto.
Sounds like the kind of place that needs another country to come in before they get radicalized and do something stupid.
