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.

MODERATORS
The criticism was your integrity, not your alleged race.
Great google translate bro.
If you have to pull out a "trust me bro" instead of present facts of the matter that can be verified via search engines, you've already failed at the purpose of the discussion. I noted specialty along with direct information that can be directly corroborated with online reputable sources.
You backed your words up with 'trust me bro'.
Tell me who, in that conversation, would you more likely listen to, the person who provided a detailed overview and perspective along with their noted background or the person who just says 'i know everything about the middle east because I'm x race born in y town'?
You've only said I'm wrong without any substance to back that or presentations of understanding or experience, especially since you flopped entirely on the history aspect (especially if you are arabic, then you'd know the background of the USA is light in comparison). Either you're too emotionally involved in the information you've been shown IRL or, as I suspect, you're pushing an agenda rather than an opinion.
I think your statement didn't have any real criticism at all. You ran out of things to say so you just put forth a dumb statement that you can't even verify or proof or really point to.
PS: I'm a girl. I don't live in a basement, I barely check lemmy these days, and while some of my comments may have been short and snappy, they are not trolly.
On top of that, your weird claim that I'm not Arab is serving what purpose exactly? 🤔 Trying to make me look like I'm lying? Even though I am Arab? Like why did you even add that part? I doubt it's just for "clarity" or to make a "point".
The phrase is in Jordanian dialect, you can't use google translate to get Arabic dialects /: only modern standard arabic
Surely a "smartass" person like yourself should know that?
Anyway here it is again:
اسرائيل دولة إجرامية ومن كل قلبي بحكي يا ريت كل اسرائيل كدولة وقضاء وحشي تخش فطيزي
EDIT: just saw your long ass edit... sorry I don't have time for this. You wanted a troll, I'll give you one rofl
Right. And your continued pushing to avoid the topic of the matter and instead focus on your race is what I was explicitly noting.
No one cares what race you are so why did you bring it up? If you had anything of effect to present here, you would've presented an actual statement that included any type of serious and realistic opinion instead of just going "I know best, I'm arabic".
Instead you are trying to bait out some type of 'gotcha' to change the conversation further into your incompetent identity politcking. Instead of participating in a discussion about options, you choose to make the conversation about you.
I claimed you weren't arab because your opinions are either nonsensical or completely detached from reality. Every Arab I've met has had a distinct respect for the empirical method and facts, neither of which you've shown any evidence of respecting, thus, more likely, you're pretending to be arabic in order to 'win' the discussion using your alleged personal experience for pity points from the public.
Show me the part where I say that people should trust me because I'm Arab, or stfu. Have a nice day!
I see you chose to stfu then.
I'm simply taking the conversation as seriously as you are.
Exactly, you have nothing to say.
