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.

Do you have another source for this? I’m not familiar with jpost.
Edit:
MBFC says the following about jpost.
High Credibility but also Bibi's mouthpiece...
I have severe doubts that Al Jazeera would post this kind of story. And with this kind of evidence from IDF, I do think it means that there's reason to discredit Al Jazeera as well.
Welcome to war. The first casualty is truth as they always say.
I didn’t mean AJ, I was looking for something like AP or Reuters.
True, but that’s just another reason to remain skeptical and vigilant about checking the validity of claims.
Especially when IDF is trying so hard to kill it
You misspelled Hamas...but you know, it doesn't really make a difference.
Nope. Both are utter bastards and liars
Yep, 100%
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_the_Israel–Hamas_war
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attacks_on_journalists_during_the_Israel–Hezbollah_conflict_(2023–present)

Over a hundred to date, and that's only this year. Every year we get stories of Israeli snipers targeting journalists etc.
Israel sided, but no more so than Middle East Eye is anti-isralei... which somehow gets hundreds of upvotes. Credible, factual, but biased.
People ask for evidence, evidence provided, evidence downvoted.
I would consider this a bit of info in a sea of propaganda campaigns and bot vote manipulation - don't take it as gospel, but an insight.
Do you think anyone would spend time on bot manipulation on a platform as small as Lemmy?
Absolutely I do
I have a less credible source, if that, uh, helps you. Scroll down for more claims with accompanying evidence, but as someone who doesn't know Arabic or what the leaders of Hamas look like, I honestly had no idea what I was looking at.
Thanks, but I can neither speak Arabic nor recognize any of the people on the pictures too.
