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.

Honestly I just don't know what to think anymore when I see news headlines like this this, I just feel a whole range of emotions
How could you do that to another human, especially a kid
Edit: just to add, no war is normal
Easy peasy, just take a page from the conservative playbook and don't think of your "enemies" as human
Mmmm... that reminds of this story.
They're not kids in the eyes of the extremist racists of Israel, they're "human animals".
Zionism is clearly a variant of Nazism as can be seen by how so many elements are similar, from the style of propaganda, the relentless use of the myth of being both strong and a victim and how they talk about themselves ("chosen people") and those they target ("human animals"), to the extreme dehumanization of the etnicity they're targetting in words and actions and the extreme violence of their actions towards any of them whilst even feeling pride about it (to the point of it being normal for IDF soldiers to post videos of them murdering Palestinian civilians).
Now consider that many who are in the IDF now grew up in a country ruled entirelly by Zionism and have know nothing else their whole lives but Zionist Propaganda about how they're all victims and Palestinians are all "human animals" and it's pretty understandable how many of them will gladly commit against palestinians - men, women or children, they don't care - the kind of acts that those not indoctrinated since childhood in that violent form of Fascism see as barbarous violence.
It's unbelievable. In fact I don't believe it. Standard fare for the Guardian. Reporting "reports" as facts..
