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.

USA: we have proof of genocide in Xinjiang, even if the local government does its best to hide it
Also USA: genocide in Gaza? What? Bibi is such a nice guy! There's not enough proof, video evidence and direct witnesses don't count
Difference is: Israel has money and is seen as part of the west.
It's a democracy.
Nope. Millions of people aren't allowed to vote based on ethnicity.
Wtf are you talking about?
Millions of Palestinians are forced to live under Israeli military rule but are not entitled to citizenship or suffrage. If they were of a different ethnicity (Jewish), they would be given those rights. It’s also not a geographical distinction, settlers in the West Bank are given full rights while Palestinians living nearby are not.

Canadians also do not have the right to vote in American elections.
Canadians also aren’t subject to American laws or occupation though.
Elect a group of far right religious criminals to take over your government, cancel all future elections, and then spend sixty years plundering your vast natural resources, corrupting all institutions and foreign relations, and sending suicide bombers down here, and we can see about that.
This didn't happen over night. Gaza had chance after chance after chance. Even now: well meaning people there could point out the tunnels, point out Hamas.
No? Okay, they're obviously comfortable enough with the status quo. Sorry they are brainwashed into being useful idiots for terrorists. Their deaths are clearly on Hamas's hands.
These lies would be more believable if Israel wasn’t also settling and committing genocide in the West Bank, despite the lack of Hamas. Or if they hadn’t been committing genocide since before Hamas ever existed.
Lack of Hamas? The West Bank has Hamas and they have tunnels there, too. The settlements are illegal and should stop.
Unincorporated lawless irredenta are free to whoever can bring law, however.
Remember a week or two ago when Biden feigned (the correct kind of) outrage to save his election chances? I made a meme to commemorate it
The United States and Israel are probably the two entities least able to criticize China's response to Islamist terrorist attacks.
Everyone else? Uh sure, go nuts.
That proof: 🧾
