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.

I have never said Hamas is free of war crimes. Only refuted your claims that they want a genocide. And please, I've heard all the evil Muslim propaganda bits already. You can't use the Quran to get around international law anymore than they can.
OH, did the law stop that attack on isreal? Is the law doing anything to prevent isreal committing genocide? Great, now that we're both on the same page where the law doesn't matter until after a conflict is resolved, then I guess we're stuck back at the muslim brotherhood continuing to commit acts of terror non stop.
Blatantly ignoring the creed with which thousands of people commit atrocities every year as if the law would stop these people who don't recognize the law as just nor applicable to themselves, how exactly is 'the law' doing literally anything to prevent any of this?
The Muslim Brotherhood is an Egyptian group. Come on dude.
Does no one know how to conduct even the simplest act of research? You know there's several entire websites dedicated to keeping people informed and you come over here like "but the Muslim brotherhood is an Egyptian group" completely fucking ignoring the entire history of the groups origins and their interactions and cooperation with al queda and hezbollah. Let me guess you think hezbollah isn't a terrorist organization because they have a few farms?
What the fuck is with the amount of people talking out their ass on these sites? Not even a simple Google search to reveal your opinion is full of ignorance.
So you didn't know and now you're trying to bluster your way out by conflating Sunni and Shia groups that wouldn't spit on each other if one of them was on fire.
Ah, another keyboard warrior that would prefer to push an agenda rather than acknowledge facts of the matter.
Well if you ever decide to pick up a history textbook or actually read up on the history of the area and the groups we're talking about feel free to hit me up again.
No thank you.
