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.

Are you honestly defending the murder of over 22,000 Palestinian civilians since Oct 7, 2023 as being an Israeli achievement?
They just justified bombing schools full of children above as necessary for Israel's self-defense, so I think that's your answer.
I read through that and was surprised they didn't call you an antisemite.
I would have pointed out that I'm a mod in c/Jewish, so that would have been fun.
Are you honestly ignoring the statistical evidence I provided that clearly shows it is? Were this war being waged by any other nation in the world you could expect the civilian casualties to be much higher.
If the murder of over 100 innocent civilians a day makes you cheer then I am done with this conversation.
You seem to have confused understanding with enthusiasm.
No, I have not.
Should I just start imagining your motivations and what makes you cheer and holding it against you? Is that how we roll here?
Childish insults? It's sad you can't respectfully disagree and support your position like an adult.
20-1 lavender yields a bunch of skin care products and this marijuana strain. Do you remember where you learned this information?
Bad faith in all its glory but you are hère to discuss lmao
I'm here in good faith, and I would appreciate the same without such jabs. And I will also block you because you clearly aren't.
Thanks. It's almost as if google doesn't show the same results to everyone, especially in different countries. I have read about their AI but did not recall its code name, nor do I recall that specific ratio. I'll read up.
Fuck you
This is exactly how Hamas justifies October 7th...
Then they are lying. I encourage you to watch the Oct 7 attack footage, (Content warning: violence, cruelty, death,) if you have the stomach for it, which clearly disproves any such claims. This is not collateral damage. They target civilians. Full stop.
They're the same concept to Hamas, and it seems that they're the same concept to the IDF as well.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Oct 7 attack footage,
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
Please do explain how murdering thousands of children is self-defense against Hamas. Were they strapping suicide vests to the babies and letting them crawl over to IDF troops?
Collateral damage still isn't murder no matter how many times you repeat it, nor does hiding among children make Hamas immune from reprisal. Regarding women and children, their casualty figures were faked by Hamas and recently quietly revised by the UN.
Your outrage over child casualties is being manufactured and manipulated by Hamas.
Your "evidence" is a Reddit post.
Be better.
Citations and sources in the comments.
If you were honest, you would have linked to one of those sources, not a Reddit post.
If I'd done that, it would have been worthless. You need the additional context provided in that post.
You could have given that context yourself. Again, be better.
Question: Is it appropriate for those civilians to get weapons and fight back against the IDF that is killing them?
That's a matter of opinion. I can understand why many Palestinians do find it appropriate, especially given the intense indoctrination that Palestinian children experience, and the lack of available unbiased credible information there.
Given my own experience and information, I find it a lot more appropriate to fight back against Hamas, the oppressive regime that instigated this war, hides among civilians to maximize casualties, and has refused to surrender to end the war, which they could do at any time. I believe they are the primary cause of all of this death and destruction and suffering, not Israel defending itself.
Would I feel the same way were I in their shoes? Hard to say.
You dodged the question. When the IDF is attacking and murdering Palestinians, do those Palestinians have a right to take up arms and fight back? It’s a simple yes or no question.
Some questions cannot be fairly answered with a simple yes or no, like, "Have you stopped beating your wife?"
There's a lot of bias packed into your question. If the IDF is in fact MURDERING, as in, illegally killing people, yes they do. However, if the IDF is acting within the law they absolutely do not. Either way, I'd say it's probably a bad move to do so and likely to get one shot.
I'm talking about right now. For example, for the people in Rafah. Do the Palestinians in Rafah have the right to fight back against the IDF that is shelling them and attacking their homes with tanks?
The real question is "are they people to you" and he'll reply it's not so simple
Of course they are people. Stop making me your strawman.
No, that's a legal attack on Hamas. If they take up arms they are defending Hamas as a militant.
So, they just have to let themselves be blown up and shot and fighting back is illegal?
As if those are the only two options. Refugees in Rafah are evacuating, very few are being blown up or becoming militants.
Genocide apologist
Can only be described as psychopathic response disguised as intellectual arguments. There aren't enough dead babies, women and children that will move this person so long as they're Palestinian.
