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.

I'd argue it's the perfect case for a no-state solution. Multiple faith groups have history in the region, they should rally around that and preserving it instead of some colonialist military state that's practically a U.S outpost in all but name. But blind dogma is rarely conducive to peace I guess.
How is a non-state supposed to defend itself from people who want to make it their state?
Militia, diplomacy, blackmail, molotovs... Imagination is the limit. Ideally the second and third I suppose.
Responses like these that so confidently state obviously incorrect information/poor perspectives really remind me of answers generated by AI. Things that appear syntactically correct, but at the same time are bizarrely illogical.
Thanks, GONADS125. Totally can't say the same about your post. Not one bit. Maybe I was a little unserious there but I mean what I say lol. I'm a anarchist, I honestly think any given government has a vested interest in fucking over their people. And a lot of Israelites don't seem to support their own government's actions as of late. People can sometimes solve problems as individuals, just look at netanyhu or trump- we see they can certainly cause them.
If you're going to call yourself an anarchist you need to have a serious answer to that question or you make your cause look like a joke.
edit: your takes on prohibition are on point though
If you form a militia you're halfway to reinventing a state, but without even a pretense of accountability to the citizenry—basically what Hamas is.
If you want diplomacy to work, you have to 100% re-invent the state, because nobody will negotiate with a self-appointed "diplomat" who can't guarantee the people they claim to represent will abide by the agreements they make. Now you're talking about something like the Palestinian Authority.
Your other options are ways to make life hard on occupiers, which means you've already lost, like people in Iraq or Afghanistan. You'll note that neither territory is currently without a government, and the one that "won" the occupation by driving out the invaders has an especially brutal government. And in both cases a shitload of people died before the invaders left.
