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.

People are not good with history. Take a gander at how Hamas reacted with literally every ceasefire in the past. What happens when there's a ceasefire and Hamas strikes in the middle of it and more people die. What will people chant then? "We are sorry you got killed"?
do you have evidence? :o
Here's a list. I know next comment is going to be "but but but IDF source". You have the dates, google them. And that's 2014 only. You can look up 2018. as well.
thank you!
You are welcome. I wish ceasefire would be used to humanitarian effort but it's not.
how do you personally deal with those who just handwave evidence away?
I don't. You can't deal with people who take an effort not to allow change in their beliefs. They have decided what they want to believe in and then are just searching for reasons to support that.
Rather concerning they're in support of terrorists.
Not terrorists according to UN.
no, the UN classifies Hamas as terrorists. They've told Hamas to stop using Hospitals
They actually don't. They did say stop using hospitals, return prisoners etc. But never once did they condemn their actions or label them as terrorist organization. There were even politicians calling on UN to label them. And they refused.
You don't gotta look far, actually. I know I'm probably simplifying it a little but the 7th of October is the latest time Hamas broke a ceasefire.
huh wonder why you're downvoted. i mean that is what happened.
Good question! (Insert X variant online mob) someone prolly just didn't like the answer. Some folks like rooting for the underdog so much they'll do it even if its a literal terrorist organization.
