I’m reminded of the old chant “No justice, no peace”
Nobody is winning until apartheid ends.

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.

MODERATORS
I know this is Lemmy and my expectations should be low, but are you saying that Hamas needs to end their apartheid, or that Israel is somehow enforcing one?
Israeli apartheid
Right. Do you know what an apartheid is? Can you define it for me? Just so we can agree on terms.
if you think they're misusing the term, just get to your point and explain why. asking people tedious questions multiple comments in a row just comes off as sea-lioning.
Ok, I'm just going to pull the definition from Wikipedia, since it's the first Google result, but any dictionary will do.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_apartheid
The crime of apartheid is defined by the 2002 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as inhumane acts of a character similar to other crimes against humanity "committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime".[1]
Israel has Muslim politicians. (Just scroll down, trying to link directly to the section is pain on mobile) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Israeli_Arab_Muslims
Seeing as Israel is relatively diverse, and includes Muslims in all aspects of life, including the government, Israel simply doesn't have apartheid.
Meanwhile, Gaza is 98% Sunni Muslim after the genocide, and I guess technically they don't have apartheid either, simply because all their Jews are either dead or they fled. You can't have a separation in a pure society like Gaza.
Trolling
There's that Lemmy I've come to expect. Just straight up propaganda.
Caught a troll, he’s a sore loser.
Remind me what year jews were granted equal rights in palestine?
Polls don't justify apartheid, genocide, terrorism, etc.
