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.
-
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.

MODERATORS
Would be awesome if there was some kind of endorsement from these people for the student protests. “We got the Israel’s people’s support” should shut down any anti semitic claim (for sane people at least)
I think Israeli apologists have become a little too conditioned to jump to weaponised charges of antisemitism. It's been so easy and effective to deploy for so long that it's a bit of an addiction, and they're just going to keep slamming that button expecting it to keep paying out even though it's not working any more.
Let’s compare a couple of points of view:
“I don’t feel safe walking through the middle of these protests!” - bad faith assholes trying to make the protests antisemitic. Of course, he could just not walk right through them.
“…” —> dead silence of a slaughtered Palestinian child whose entire apartment building fell on her in her sleep.
One of these points of view has a voice right now, because one of these actors is alive right now.
There's already Jewish groups in the protest crowds.
They already just lump them in as Anti-Semitic. The ADL even complained that a Jewish led protest had the temerity to march past a synagogue.
I'm not sure that can ever happen. the student protests:
I think it'd work better if the Student Protests endorsed the Israeli Protest. This way it would show the World that they're interested not in a destruction of Israel but in a peaceful end to this War. This way they would also force all the radical People out of the Student Protests and thus give them more credibility and even pave the way for the Israeli Protests to endorse the Student ones.
