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.

Why are are even calling them UN peacekeepers if they prevent violence from one side, but allow it on the other?
I mean they're not preventing violence period. They're just... there.
Its important to have independent folks there to monitor for war crimes.
Not like Israel cares, but it's better to have witnesses I guess.
If they're indeed peacekeepers, then they failed their job miserably. As it stands, their only usefulness is being human shields for Hezbollah.
How many Hezbollah are you saying were in the UN base when Israeli tanks broke through the gates?
Human what the fuck? No seriously, how does that even make sense?
Their job isn't to stop war crimes. Their job is go record war crimes and report back to the UN, where the world's job is to use this information to stop future war crimes by diplomatic or violent methods
Then maybe they should identify themselves as war inspectors or historians? "Peacekeepers" is kinda misleading...
That's what a peacekeeper is. Thats literally what a peacekeeper does.
Peacekeepers aren't people who use violence to keep peace. They are people who use nonviolence to keep peace, diplomatically.
The word for what you're thinking of is "soldier"
The moment Hezbollah resorted to launching missiles at Israeli territory, and Israel fought back, then diplomacy failed already.
"I would prefer to see a bit more violence from those supposed 'Peacekeepers.'"
They're observers
