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.

HAMAS is still a terrorist group that wants the destruction of Israel and its citizens, often invoking religious imagery and themes concerning such. Let's not pretend there's good guys in this situation, whether or not you believe in the idea of HAMAS as freedom fighters.
For example, the founding charter contains lines like this: The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,' except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews.
There's no room for religious extremism in a leftist worldview regardless of who the extremist is.
No they're not the good guys, but it's also important to understand radicalization doesn't manifest out of thin air. Like a child who suffers abuse and abuse and abuse, there can often come a breaking point, whether that's suicidal or homicidal ideation. Oxford shooter comes to mind. Radicalization/terrorism is effectively this at a larger collective scale. People don't just suddenly wake up one day wanting to murder a bunch of civilians. Such animosity is trans-generational and deeply rooted.
What are some of the ingredients to radicalization?
That isn't to excuse it, but to understand it and hint at solutions.
Ultimately religion to paraphrase Seneca is a source of hope for the downtrodden, a tool for the powerful, and an excuse for the wicked. It's why you see such an overlap with extremism.
I'm pro-civilian above all else. When Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th, I condemned it. When Israel inflicted dozens of October 7ths upon civilians of Gaza, I too have continued to condemn it.
The Palestinian children suffering and being murdered are not Hamas and they deserve the right to live. They can't even vote.
I want Hamas gone but not at the expense of innocent children, humanitarian workers, journalists, and hostages.
Do you think this person was referring to actual Hamas members when they said "HAMAS BABIES?"
After watching 11 months of children being dismembered by the IDF and starving to death while Israelis cheer and have music festivals to celebrate, I wouldn't mind the destruction of Israel tbh.
The destruction of a genocidal state is a good thing.
Doesn’t matter if it’s Rhodesia or Israel, from a leftist worldview all should fall.
I can tell your NOT Antisemitic because you IGNORED the Baby Part in order to Write an Unnecessary Paragraph about Hamas!
