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.

Yeah they're not really pulling their weight though tbh. What good's a hostage if your opponent doesn't care about their well-being?
It gets worse:
Exactly the type of humans you need to rebuild a population.
Hmm, what could the IDF's objective be...
Exactly the type of humans you need to rebuild a population.
And also generally not combatants. Or to use the crass parlance "not having military value."
Netanyahu truly doesn’t care about them, which is why he’s refusing deals that return all the hostages in exchange for a few weeks of ceasefire then permission to resume bombing.
Of that I am sure.
Yeah there are 50 something presumed alive.
That many? I really have not kept up with that side of this story. I don't think it's all that relevant to the overall picture at this point, which is why, but I still feel silly not even knowing that.
It's the official reason the US vetoed the UN ceasefire proposal. I say officially because they would do so regardless but still.

Oh absolutely. They would use literally any excuse, including something entirely fabricated if necessary.
It's almost like the only way to get the hostages out alive is through a cease fire and deal.
Hannibal directive going strong
Israel doesn't care about the hostages, all they care about is further genocide of Palestinians to create a lebensraum for "chosen race".
If someone doesn't care to kill children and women of any race, there is no reason for them to care for someone of their own.
The reality is the hostages are peoywho lived across from Gaza walls, they are most likely regarded as sub class working families and the war machine does not care about them.
