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.

Ah yes, insult me more that will definitely get your point across. Not to mention the only thing you people care about is death counts as statistics. As long as the rockets don't kill anyone, they're a-okay to be shooting them at civilians.
Don't you see what is happening in Gaza? Do you think there people are living the life? Maybe for a moment try to put yourself in their shoes. How would you feel? Seriously!
And I only question your ability of critical thinking which isn't exactly an offence. Plus I provided a link for you to check the numbers. And if you truly believe numbers don't matter, could you try to explain to me how come 165K Palestinians have been injured and another 6K have been killed since 2007, and on the other side of the spectrum, 300 killed and 6000 injured and all this considering that the military wing of Hamas is 30K.
You can also check Wikipedia, the UN, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and countless more human rights watchdogs, who also seem to disagree with you. Heck there are even Israeli websites who are occasionally writing about https://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-groups-slam-plan-to-expel-human-rights-watch-rep/
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-09-21/ty-article/west-bank-settler-violence-displaced-over-1-100-palestinians-since-2022-un-report-says/0000018a-b8a1-d8ee-adee-fdbbd8b50000.
Yes, that's very easy to explain. One side has a focus on protecting its citizens, designing systems to help keep their casualties down despite tens of thousands of rockets fired at their cities. The other side doesn't give a shit about their civilians, instead using them as human shields to conduct their operations under.
That's how you end up with that discrepancy.
You realise those 165K are injured by the IDF, and don't you find it a bit disproportionate? Like 27 times more injured. And please do not tell me that you consider all those 165K Palestinians to be all terrorists, as I said before only 30K are supposed to be associated with Hamas' military wing.
And what about the human violations topic, the illegal settlements, the impunity of IDF soldiers and settlers. How many of those had been given effective sentences for killing or injuring unprovoked Palestinians?
Or actively targeting journalists, expelling human rights activists, trying to discredit the UN, etc. Does this sound to you very democratic? Because in my eyes it is quite the opposite. You know there was a member of your parliament who was calling for dropping a nuclear bomb over Gaza, so he got removed from the government but he wasn't brought to court or actively investigated. And guess what will happen if someone from Palestine suggests the same. This guy will be killed, his home bulldozed and it would be widespread condemnation, etc.
This I call double standards!
