A community for discussing events around the World
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.

18 March 2024 - Israeli Occupation Arrests 25 Palestinians in West Bank
Ramallah, March 18 (QNA) - The Israeli occupation forces arrested on Monday at least 25 Palestinians in the West Bank.
In a joint statement, Palestinian Prisoners Society and Palestinian Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs said that the arrests were concentrated in the governorates of Ramallah, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm and Occupied Jerusalem, noting that the occupation forces arrested a Palestinian woman who happens to be one of the hostages that were released as part of the recent exchange deals.
Which has nothing to do with this topic. You can start one on your own,
Them going back on their last hostage exchange has nothing to do with the current hostage exchange deal?
Openly violating the terms of the last hostage swap is pretty relevant when they are negotiating for a new hostage swap.
Well friend, if you want to repost hamas conspiracy theories rather than find peace, that totally says all that's needed about you.
So you are saying that Israel did not kidnap civilians from the west bank? (which they then torture and sexually violate?)
The only party not trying to achieve peace is very clearly israel.
I'm saying that you play with fantasies to satisfy your narrative. Not looking for solutions. You think your influencing anyone but the weak of mind? Maybe that's enough for you.
The UN has reported on Israels war crimes, this is documented and known factual information.
They heard all about it in the Hague. How did that judgement go again?
The first hearing went well actually, South Africa’s claims were found to have merit.
Israel was ordered to minimise the suffering it’s causing, but obviously Israel has not done so and as long as the US shields them from the UN nothing much else can be done about it.
The fact finding found no war crimes. But, the court acknowledged there was potential and it should be monitored.
Israel openly kidnaps civilians but you're too "strong minded" to believe they would commit war crimes?
Double down. It's all you can do. Yes, to believe you does take a weak mind.
Lemmy.world has an abundance of cryptofascists. You need to report them all the time, and block them too. If necessary, publically point out this problem, if mods do not listen.
That it is, but they're the genocide supporters who think Israel is in the right.
Luckily most of the world doesn't buy into that disgusting narrative.
Sure. But please report and block these people. We need them kicked out of social media.
