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 am well aware that this place only allows establishment media. However in rare cases such as this one the establishment media reports against Israel which is why I posted it here.
They are censoring things posted to Lemmy.world? Just deleting things that talk about the IDF? I've seen lots of discussion of the IDF, including this post in my feed, so I don't think their censorship is working? I don't have any attachment to .world, trying to find out if I should leave the server based on this information
Here: watch this. Give it like 12 hours.
IDF soldiers are committing a genocide and every single one of them should be killed and their organs repurposed.
LW adheres by the liberal-Zionist MBFC rating system and deems critical of Israel antisemitic. You can have milquetoast opinions on the occuptation here but anything which goes past mainstream stances will get removed.
Specifically LW does not allow sources such as Zeteo and Dropsite news which do great reporting but are heavily critical of Israel. Instead it opts to ban all independent journalism. This used to be under the guise of MBFC but after MBFC specifically added these sites as credible they arbitrarily changed decided that they are 'blogs'.
For more information see the rest of the post which is also linked at the top of this comment https://lemmy.world/post/27393569
I hadn't seen the "blog" discussion before. He's been pig-headed in the past, but that's inexcusable.
We shouldn't let propagandists throwing lies freely by stopping posting on lemmy.world
Demonic.
This is not a war being waged there, but systematic mass murder committed by a well-equipped army.
It is, of course, commendable that this soldier has the courage to speak to the press, but the fact that this is still necessary speaks volumes about how morally bankrupt the governments of the Western world are: they continue to conjure up tales of terrorism against Israel, of a defensive war against terrorists, and in doing so condemn an entire ethnic group to the most brutal extermination.
What they are saying is exactly what the monsters in Israel are saying: All Palestinians are terrorists, all deserve to die, regardless of whether they are unarmed, starving, and just want to live—regardless of whether they are children or pregnant women.
This is genocide, not war, but the West is making common cause with the monsters and even supplying weapons for crimes against humanity.
I am ashamed that I have to watch my government do this, and I am also ashamed of my fellow citizens who are against it but are frozen in their apathy and do not have the guts to take even the slightest risk and stand up decisively against this unspeakable inhumanity that our politicians actively support out of greed for money and power.
Yeah, now imagine being an American jew who's been told their whole life Israel is their true homeland.
Well documented war crimes that will never be prosecuted by alleged liberal democracies of the west.
They are only war crimes if the losing side does them.
I swear I see this headline every single year since I was born
