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.

MODERATORS
I really hope israel will loose their wildcard and be accountable for all this shit. Just remove their privileges!
They won't. The extermination of Palestinians has been a stated goal of Israel and its allies for decades.
They're not going to be punished for pulling the trigger.
This is the full transcript of the recording between an Israeli IDF officer and a resident of northern Gaza
"Hello?"
"Muhammad?"
"Yes"
"How are you?"
"Yes"
"This is an officer from the IDF calling you. For your own safety I'm asking you to go to Khan Yunis as fast as possible "
"Where to?"
"In the direction of Khan Yunis. ASAP. I don't want you to put yourself at risk, that's why I'm telling you to go there."
"All the roads are blocked"
"Where you are right now isn't safe, you need to.. blocked where? Who blocked it? Hamas?"
"Yes"
"What?"
"Yes, that's correct"
"Where did they block the road?"
"At Salah ad-Din"
"Salah ad-Din?"
"Yeah"
"How did they block it?"
"They're just forcing people to go back home"
"Are they putting cars on the road? Police cars or.."
"Yes yes"
"How exactly? Explain it to me. Please, did you see it with your own eyes?"
"In a car, people are going south and they're just bringing them back home"
"How did they block the road?"
"They're shooting at people"
"Shooting what? Are they shooting at people that want to leave?"
"Yes yes yes"

I'm linking the source video lol
Israel=The Israeli govt. in basically every conversation within this context. Trying to say "but both right?!" When that's what everyone has been saying from the start, makes you look like you're acting in bad faith.
