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.

This is the sort of collateral damage nobody talks about. Even for these cheering at the bombing of terrorists, you still have to take into account the consequences of your actions, bombing everything to dust has a price.
The people claiming to cheer at bombing terrorists cheer at murdering brown people. The entire "war on terror" narrative has been a veil and continues to be a veil for white supremacists to enjoy murdering brown people.
Israel also was heavily backing the war in Iraq. While they weren't the sole or even main factor behind it, the resulting nearly 1 million Iraqi deaths the complete destruction of the country, and the subsequent Syrian Civil War (which was a direct consequence of the Iraq war) really destabilized the region big time.
Israel wants their neighbors to be as unstable as possible because stable and prosperous Arab nations piss them off.
Jordan is practically their ally yet they speak of Jordanians like they are foaming at the mouth to kill israelis when every Jordanian/Israeli skirmish was provoked very blatantly by Israel.
I simply cannot believe just how monstrous a people can be. They are entirely on par with the Nazis. In some cases even worse.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist at all, and there’s more than enough evil shit with irrefutable evidence that puts Zionists on par with the Nazis already but it just makes sense at this point that they were the ones pulling the strings to make 9/11 happen.
I do not believe that they were behind 9/11. Despite what some people say, the CIA and FBI and other agencies were aware something was going down. The fact that 9/11 happened without a hitch from the authorities is a monumental intelligence failure that will never be forgotten by any intelligence agency ever.
Shortly after 9/11 there were claims that Muslims were singing and dancing in the streets to celebrate. But this never happened. Even people in Iran held vigils for the people who died. The footage shown of Arabs celebrating were often of people celebrating sports victories by their preferred football (soccer) or other events.
The only people confirmed to have been dancing to celebrate the 9/11 attacks were... mossad agents. But I believe their disgusting joy can be explained by the fact that the US was now going to do genocide level events on Muslims in retaliation.
I mean Churchill cranked open his favorite (and most expensive) bottle of booze after Pearl Harbor happened and after Hitler idiotically declared war on the US. He wasn't happy that the US lost a fuckload of people in the attack. He was happy that now the US is forced to join the UK in full force.
Please explain.
Just simply asking the question of who gained the most from the aftermath of 9/11.
And looking at their current behaviour. There’s absolutely no evil act they won’t commit.
This may surprise you, but "white supremacists" 🙄 Aren't all that fond of the jews, regardless of their skin tone.
Well, being antisemitic and supporting Israel can go hand in hand. Be it because they share the idea of ethnically homogenous nations, because they want to send the Jews to live somewhere else, or because they are happy for Israel to murder Arabs for them.
Some of the greatest supporters of Zionism were antisemites, like Lord Balfur.
