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.

Ground, yes. Air and maritime, no. Same goes for West Bank, and also the ground and border crossing toward Jordan.
First of all, Gaza also have a border with Egypt. But overviewing sea import is required for Israel to survive, Hamas is using everything in its power to attack Israel. Even water pipes paid for by the EU.
The same goes for every other resource. Sand donated by Japan, went to Hamas to build tunnels. Cement too was used to build tunnels into Israel, so Israel had to spend billions to stop that.
Gaza has many resources for economic success. Fertile soil (in some areas), beutiful sea, border with two countries, university, hospitals, etc. Moreover, rich economics from all over the world are willing to build infrastructure for them (water pipes for example).
Even partners in Israel that want peace.
Look, i'm not gonna pretend that Hamas isn't a shitty government and a terrorist group, i even agree that they can use the help to make Gaza better, but you can't be serious when you trying to argue that Israel doesn't oppress gaza while also acknowledge that Israel need gaza maritime space for their own benefit, that is oppression for fuck sake lmao.
Gaza is already poor when Israel leave Gaza, then Israel blockade hamper their trade, israel control maritime space so they can't have a port, israel control air space so they can't have airport, and the world did not recognize Palestine as a country, all Gaza had is Rafah crossing, that's their only way for import/export. It's an uphill battle make harder by Israel action. Listing the facility donated by other organisations doesn't make the oppression just disappear.
The blockade is there because the area is controlled by Hamas. A group that want to exterminate Israel.
However, it isn't so economiaclly limiting, Hamas heads are billionaires. This money siphoned from the Gazans.
Are you trying to say just because Hamas is a terrible government, the ill treatment toward Palestinian by Israel is justified?
No, I'm saying Gazans were fucked both ways.
Hamas forces Israel to bombard them while using them as human shields. While also taking the little money they have, forcing them into poverty.
