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
They also just don't give a shit about providing evidence as they can basically do or say whatever they want.
Israel has done a lot of fucking around and the only ones who are slowly finding out are their closest allies who find themselves being dragged deeper and deeper into a full blown genocide.
Don’t worry though, they’ll wag their finger so hard
There will also be an intensification of the slightly stern looking, along with a tiny reduction of backstage winking and nodding.
UNRWA is doing an investigation, and has already fired around 4 or so people. The numbers involved are far fewer than Israel has claimed.
They fired those people prematurely awaiting the "evidence" israel had (none)
Israel trolls then used UNRWA firing their employees as "being guilty". They are truly shameless.
Israel just lies and lies and lies and lies. They don’t even try to hide it. Blatant lies everywhere. And their propaganda keeps being blasted in all our newspapers that happily quote their lies to manufacture consent for Genocide. The newest lie is to pretend they are letting aid into Gaza.
British member of parliament Alicia Kearns said that Israel was failing to meet its legal obligation to help aid get into the besieged enclave, citing the closure of the Kerem Shalom crossing. “I’ve just returned from the aid staging location in Egypt, thousands of trucks are sat waiting to deliver aid,” she wrote.
In response, Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy claimed that the crossing was "currently closed on Saturdays at the request of the UN because there is so much undistributed aid piling up on the other side".
Kearns asked for evidence from Levy, pointing out that his claim was the “opposite” of what she had been told by the UK government, Egyptian government and the UN. “They are clear the Israeli Govt requested no deliveries on a Saturday,” she wrote.
Levy has yet to respond.
They don't care, mission accomplished. People have already starved, and mud sticks enough that they can starve some more.
They already got what they wanted, suspended funding for UNRWA. Now they can blissfully ignore calls for evidence. In 6 years they will say that a trainee misread a paper lying in a printer
Hamas massacre? Like killing 40000 civillians? Wtf those shitty outlets should all burn
It was always only meant to be a shallow excuse to provide cover for the various Nazi-loving leaders in Western nations to cut humanitarian aid to Gazans so as to expedite Israel's Final Solution, death by starvation.
It's not by chance that most nations that used this excuse to immediatelly cut UNRWA funds are traditionally racist, such as as Britain, Germany, the US and Australia.
