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.

Allies don't violate your airspace, creating bad media for you.
But yes to answer your first question I absolutely would expect them to deny commercial overflight of their military operations. I'm honestly surprised they haven't already
Gaza is not Israeli airspace.
I agree with you. But that's a political statement. Politically it is not part of the Israeli country.
The de facto military truth however, is the Israeli military enjoys full uncontested control of the airspace above Gaza
But to shoot down other counties aircraft over Gaza would be to make the political statement that it is their airspace, which Is unacceptable
De facto truth is that French air force conducted air drops of supplies in uncontestedly Israeli airspace above Gaza.
Israel is not going to attack French military aircraft, it will be political suicide.
I also do not understand your fixation on commercial overflight which is irrelevant here.
None of Israel's allies are true friends of the Israeli people. Because friends don't let friends commit genocide.
I will be absolutely shocked and terrified if Israel shoots down a French plane, fuck them for the genocide they are committing, but that moment would be Gavrilo Princip, Pearl Harbor, Gulf of Tonkin(I know I know), and 9/11 combined in terms of ushering in a new age of conflict. It could easily rip NATO and the UN apart while also escalating the conflict in the Middle East to new heights. I don’t think, or maybe I just hope that, Israel is that stupid.
