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 performances about Nakba allowed in Israel? Asking for a friend.
I don't think FelixCress is arguing in good faith, but to answer their question, yes.
The film Farha was shown in the Israeli town Jaffa, to much debate.
And, to quote the article you linked:
“It’s crazy that Netflix decided to stream a movie whose whole purpose is to create a false pretence and incite against Israeli soldiers,” said Israel’s outgoing finance minister, Avigdor Lieberman, in a statement. Lieberman also said he would look at withdrawing state funding from Al Saraya theatre in the Arab-majority town of Jaffa, which screened the film.
Now go figure.
This was in London and has nothing to do with Israel whatsoever, so how is that relevant?
So, are performances about Nakba allowed in Israel?
I have no idea. Again, how is this relevant?
Do you think all Jews are Israeli? Do you think Fiddler on the Roof has an all-Jewish cast? Do you think it's about Israel?
It is about an individual against the oppressive state. You know, like Palestinians in Israel 🙄
So, what about performances about Nakba? I will give you a hint - organisers of such performances have their funding removed and may be persecuted in "democratic" Israel. Go figure.
Again- this is a musical in London about Jews in Russia in the early 20th century.
Please answer my questions:
Do you think all Jews are Israeli?
Do you think this production of Fiddler on the Roof has an all-Jewish cast?
Do you think it's about Israel?
So, are performances about Nakba allowed in Israel?
You have one last chance here to explain what that has to do with this before you get banned for trolling.
This poster is being annoying, but flexing mods powers in a pointless argument is gross. You do it a lot. Just let it go.
Sorry, I do not tolerate bigotry.
No need to be sanctimonious. It isn't always justified that way, and it's just worth considering, that's all.
Can you actually read? I said it quite a few posts ago - it is about an individual and oppressing state. You know, like Palestinians in Israel.
Which has nothing to do with this event unless you think all Jews are Israeli or Israeli sympathizers.
Is that what you believe? This is the third and final time I will ask you.
