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 kind of hyperbole that makes it real easy for others to label critics of the actions of current Israeli leadership antisemites.
No, Israelis are not trying to exterminate all Palestinians; Yes, Netanyahu does not care about limiting collateral damage when targeting suspected Hamas militants.
If you're passionate enough to comment, be passionate enough to communicate unambiguously.
Yes, the "all Palestinians on the planet" bit was indeed extreme. They don't really care about Palestinians in, say, Michigan. It's the ones in Gaza and the West Bank they want to get rid of. Ideally with "simple" ethnic cleansing and expulsion, a second Nakba, like their high ranking government officials have been saying. But in less than ideal situations, like the current one, their low ranking officials, military officers, prison guards, soldiers etc have already shown they are perfectly capable of hearing the genocidal dog whistle.
Nah I really mean it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_assassinations
They also killed many non violent political activists. Additionally Zionists deny Palestinians their Palestinian identity and just refer to them as „Arabs“. Any Palestinian who insists on their right to exist in their native homeland and is politically active in that matter can be killed literally anywhere anytime. The only way for a Palestinian to be left alone by the Zionist entity is to renounce their Palestinianness.
I didn't say you didn't mean It, I said it was an extreme statement and I stand by that characterization. I won't deny that Israel has assassinated Palestinians in the rest of the world (I mean, ...Haniyeh) but it's absolutely not the case that any Palestinian anywhere is in danger from the Mossad simply for asserting their identity. The Israelis just haven't sunk down to that level.
Fair enough, just saying that as the list shows even being merely an intellectual trying to keep the identity and culture alive can get you killed and what keeps alive a people’s identity if not culture? Anyway I understand that it sounds extreme to some and I think that’s okay.
no, it's not hyperbole, please look up what many members of the Israeli government actually want, they are literally international wanted terrorists who's sole missions is the extermination of the Palestinian peoples, that's why they are literally referred to as "human animals", "Canaanites"(a people that historically were genocided by the Israeli, even according to their own holy texts), are blamed for the holocaust (yes really).
