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.

It's comical how many Hamas-apologists there are on this site.
I literally haven't seen a single Hamas apologist. Nobody likes those terrorists, but those of us that pay attention don't like IDF either
Really? They're absolutely everywhere on Lemmy:
Merely challenging some of these points can get you banned on a few instances.
Israel not only created an environment where terrorism grows and thrives, they also funded Hamas early on in part of their effort to stamp out secular resistances. The burden of Hamas' existences falls on Israel too.
the same way hamas doesn't represent palestine, netanyahu's government doesn't represent israel either. the funding of hamas was a far-right candidate's propaganda tactic, not something that the people of israel decided would be a good idea.
I haven't actually seen anybody blame all Israelis for Netanyahu's or the IDF's actions. It's generally understood we're talking about the people in power.
You must have just joined lemmy then
Never seen any of those except the second one in the sense that it reflects articles like this and similar: https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
The other points are hexbear or lemmygrad trolls.
No. I'm not seeing these talking points.
While the 1st and 3rd points are nonsense, there's legitimate strong evidence for point 2. Far right Israeli politicians want this conflict.
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-10-20/ty-article-opinion/.premium/a-brief-history-of-the-netanyahu-hamas-alliance/0000018b-47d9-d242-abef-57ff1be90000
Which means there's 3 sides to the conflict, not 2 - civilians and 2 governments. And a ton of people here are supporting mass murder of civilians because they were born on the wrong side of a border.
Edit: of course tribalists are downvoting facts with sources
^ this. both governments need to be gone, that's the only chance for the civilians, palestinans and israelis alike, to see peace in their lifetime.
This is the first I've heard of it
Hamas apologists attacking me

It's not comical how many anti-Semitic and/or pro-genocide apologists are on Lemmy.
It's weird how you are okay with genocide against Palestinians, including all the classic hallmarks of genocide via settler colonialism (displacement, apartheid and blockade, massive civilian damage, etc) that we've seen countless times since the Native Americans, but if anyone says that's wrong you immediately cry anti-Semitism. Israel is not the one in danger of being genocided here, they're the ones perpetrating it. Even lots of Jewish people can see it. To mix up the colonial ethno-state of Israel with all Jewish people is real, deceptive purposeful propaganda.
I'm not okay with genocide against the Palestinians (or anyone else), hence the "pro-genocide" in my post above. I'm not okay with anti-Semitism either. I'm also firmly in the camp of "criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic".
Both Hamas and the IDF (by extension, the Israeli gov't) are murderers or complicit in murder. Simple as that.
Oh I agree on all points. Looks like I jumped to conclusions there. Think I got you and someone else I was arguing with at the same time confused. Sorry about that 😅🙏
No worries! It's bound to happen, and it's a topic bound to generate some heat. Next round is on me 😎
It’s pure hyperbole, but if more conversations could proceed like this one, fewer children would be dead.
you completely misinterpreted their comment. they were contrasting the original comment made by Mean-Eye.
I really did lol. Already apologized, but I suppose that I maybe should throw an edit in there for future people.
I honestly haven't seen any. Every single person other than pro-Apartheid pro-Israel types seems to be making a very clear distinction between Palestinian civilians and Hamas.
You haven't been looking enough then. I'm constantly downvoted for calling people out who support Hamas

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Unless it's Hamas killing Jews, apparently.
