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.

That is what Israel has stated is their plan, relocation.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing
Yes, stupid people (United Nations for example) use the wrong word, all the time, especially when it's translated from another language. Genocide is the wrong word to use. Israel is not wiping out nor trying to wipe out the Palestinians.
Since you're the top mod, can I just remind you that you broke rule 5?
Or do I need to report your comment?
You're still not understanding though, and it's very important as a mod you understand this issue. Otherwise I'd have stopped replying already.
Correcting someone who is using misinformation or loaded words doesn't violate our community rules.
I assumed that was an insult directed at me.
Were you calling the UN and everyone that signed the Geneva Convention stupid instead?
Even the "misinformation" claim, clearly the UN and Geneva Convention have a definition that's different than yours, are you saying the Geneva Convention is misinformation?
You're free to disagree as a personal opinion, but that's like me insisting an apple is a yellow fruit from South America that you need to peel before eating...
It doesn't change the definition everyone has agreed on.
No, that was directed at the United Nations poor use of words.
Then if what you're saying is true, then I'm sure you can link an article from the past 74 years where some internationally respected human rights organization (or really anyone) has pointed it out by now...
Like, seriously.
The Geneva convention has been a thing for 74 years, I'm sure someone else would have noticed by now.
Did you read this somewhere? Or is this something you've "discovered" on your own?
And even if that is true, you understand that doesn't make it ok, and still means Israel is flagrantly breaking the Geneva Convention?
Israel is within it's rights to defend itself from a violent attack against it's civilian population. The Palestinian government is the only one who I've seen committing crimes through it's support of Hamas.
Are you a bot?
Does my account say it's a bot?
You certainly sound like one.
That does not compute
If I slap you on the face you have the right to slap me back, not the right to shoot me a full magazine.
And Hamas is not in charge or have any power in the West Bank but Israel is killing people in West Bank too. Is like someone waging war against England and bombing Ireland because they speak the same language.
It appears Israel doesn't agree.
This ain't an etymology thing. Definitions are clarified for legal purposes. I think you have to ask yourself why you're trying to dig your heels in against a literal definition. They didn't define it wrong, it's literally defined in excruciating and exacting detail for legal purposes.
Where are the examples of Israel taking Palestinian child to convert them to Judaism? That is the line you're trying to imply. Forced relocation is not genocide. It's a population transfer.
It's Ethnic Cleansing, is that better?
What is being cleansed, which means wiping out the entire race or tribe? Relocation isn't killing, it's inconvenient and will create more problems, but the population is being kept together.
Don't get me wrong, I totally understand your hatred of Israel, but I haven't seen an attempt at diplomacy this century by the Palestinian government. They wanted violence and they got violence.
Hopefully we can get a ceasefire, put a third party military in Gaza to secure the peace, remove all military weapons, arrest all the terrorists, and the Palestinian people can live their lives peacefully for awhile.
Where the hell did I say that?
Ethnic Cleansing:
noun
The systematic elimination of an ethnic group or groups from a region or society, as by deportation, forced emigration, or genocide.
(Since you like the 'English definition' for terms.)
So genocide
Incorrect word.
The use of a loaded latin word like genocide is used to invoke mass killing and wiping out a population completely. If you see it used you know the source is extremely biased and should not be taken as fact.
Use the correct language so you don't look like a fool.
Genocide is an English word with English definitions.
You can argue about its roots and such, but that's a different discussion.
It's like "decimate". Decimate is an English word with a different definition to the Latin word its based on. It used to mean "kill one in every ten", now it means "to kill/destroy almost, but not completely". (Almost the opposite meaning)
You keep repeating this like you believe it. Find an English dictionary you'll realise it's an English word and it has a precise meaning that is not what you think it is. The fact you don't agree with that meaning is your problem only, you don't get to decide
