A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

I don’t need a news article to tell me that Israel was never going to stick to the deal they made with Palestine.
Nobody in Israel wants peace. They want to fight this war and win.
So many Israel defenders keep saying that “the Arab world wants Israel wiped off the map”, but it’s Israel who’s doing the wiping of Muslims off the map. What outrageously and incredible pieces of hypocritical shit.
And I say this is a Jew
Every time there is a ceasefire, Hamas fires rockets out of apartments, hospitals, or their tunnel networks under schools. Every time they are asked for hostages they are told "lol oops we killed them already". So what do you want Israel to do? Nothing? Hamas has undermined it's own citizens by constantly using them as rage bait news by putting them directly in harms way, so the only option to hurt Hamas is to also hurt civilians nearby. I dont think genocide is an answer to anything, yet there isn't an alternative to bombing terrorists who surround themselves with children and old women in public places. This has been decades of harassment to the point where even Arab nations don't want Palestinians because they keep causing uprisings every single time. They refuse to integrate and also refuse to govern, so you have this situation where they are trying to get themselves harmed every opportunity to calm down.
Maybe stop invading their territory in an illegal war.
How many women, children, and journalists have Israel murdered in the past year and a half?
