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.

They've already flattened Gaza and turned their eyes to the next target.
They're not gonna stop. As long as America keeps supporting them, they'll keep lashing at at everyone close and causing a new generation of terrorists so they can keep doing it indefinitely.
Fascists can't ever beat their enemies, or they need to invent new ones. That's why Bibi is suddenly fine letting Hamas leaders leave. So they can come back later.
Worse still, their MO is incredibly transparent. They want to establish a "buffer zone" in southern Lebanon, but Israel's "buffer zones" are just a way of slowly expanding their borders. The problem is that a buffer zone like the DMZ only works as a buffer zone if you keep your own civilian population from moving in to that buffer zone! Israel lets it's 'settlers' move into what are supposed to be buffer zones like the DMZ. After awhile, the settlements are retroactively recognized and made legal. Now you have civilians in ordinary communities living in what was supposed to be a buffer zone. And since they're right on the border again, they're now in range of attack from the angry people whose former land they are now living on.
"Buffer zones" only work if you arrest and/or shoot any of your own people who try and move into them. Otherwise, they're just a slow-motion conquest via bureaucracy. The same thing has happened in the West Bank. Israel takes Palestinian land around Israeli settlements, declaring them to be security buffer zones. Then they let their settlers move in there. Suddenly they have vulnerable civilians within easy reach of angry Palestinians, so they need to establish a new buffer zone. Rinse and repeat.
It's slow-motion ethnic cleansing via zoning code and bureaucracy.
It's been a slow-motion ethnic cleansing for a long time now.
Bibi needs to be in jail, he uses the absolute worst of Israel to protect him from what he deserves.
Hopefully once he's out of power we can consider doing something, but so long as his cronies are around, it's always more profitable to bulldoze their way to a Greater Israel rather than actually try to have any peace.
SO for anyone keeping sore at home : Israel is evil fasicsts for agreeing to the cease fire which will keep hamas in power, but also Israel is evil fascists for having invaded gaza trying to topple hamas in the first place.
Sounds like maybe OP thinks Israel is evil fasicsts and is working backwards from that assumption.
The current Israeli government are evil fascists.
Israel seems more than happy leaving eachother alone. The problem is Hamas and Hezbollah are never gonna stop. They vowed to never stop until Israel is destroyed. A lot of Lemmings seem to agree with the principle that the bottom line is that all violence against Israel is justified anyway and so is lying about who keeps the violence going.
That's why the basic situation is that Israel is trying to limit their response to a de facto ceasefire, and Hamas and Hezbollah trying to bait them into war by firing rockets over the border. As Israel got better and better at protecting agains these rockets coming from Gaza, Hamas had to up their game
