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.

They went into villages and massacred every man, woman and child they could find simply because they didn't approve of people of a certain ethnicity living where they did.
how did they gather so many hostages? if they massacred every man woman and child how can hostages be real?
you lost the plot. your thesis has no ground basis and is all feelings and nothing more. terror attack? yes. genocide? not even close.
at least you say hamas, and not palestinians.
Because you can take some people hostage while killing other people? It's not really that complicated.
Yeah because I'm consistently against hating people based on their ethnicity.
If this forum was dominated by people saying Palestinians are evil, I would be speaking out against that.
But this forum happens to be dominated be people promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories, and people that deny the existence of violence towards Jews. So I'm speaking out against that.
If you can see past the emotional manipulations that are happening in this particular information silo, you'll see the same pattern of behaviour I'm seeing. This forum is devolving into straight up antisemitism.
Criticizing the government and military of Israel is not anti Semitism anymore than calling out the American government is racism.
Rehashing the century old Protocols of the Elders of Zion shtick is antisemitism. And that kind of stuff has become mainstream now.
The closest thing I've seen to that is people wondering why the hell the Western world is supporting such an obvious genocide. And that's a fair question.
they didn't discriminate on ethnicity.
The whole point of Hamas is they're angry about Jews living in places that think Palestinians should living in. They went into villages that the believe should have only Palestinians living in and murdered every Jew they could find living there.
Maybe you've fallen sway to the blood and soil "river to the sea" narrative, but it's really just wanting a specific ethnicity living on certain patches of dirt and not wanting another ethnicity living there. Hamas has not been subtle about this. It's a fascist tendency we've seen many times before.
