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.

Israel wants to expand to become a "Greater Israel" reaching form the Nile to Anatolia and including half of the Arabian peninsula all the way until the Persian golf.
Israels long term vision is to annihilate Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran and the Gulf States and defeat Turkey militarily.
A two state solution in the 1967 borders would only be possible, if Israel is militarily contained by a permanent military force inside a buffer zone inside its borders and strict control of weapons, industry and technology being allowed in.
Appeasement against an expansionist settler colonial fascist nation does not work. Appeasing Nazi Germany has failed and they kept expanding until the world united to defeat them.
Why does Israel want to push the Palestinians into Sinai? First to annex Gaza. But they know there will be resistance forming in Sinai. Then they get to "defend themselves" by annexing Sinai. The same game is played towards Lebanon and Syria.
By shrugging at Israels invasion of Syria, the EU countries have moved another step on a devastating path for Europe. Israel will push for war with Syria and Lebanon. They will push for dozens of millions of Arab refugees to destabilize Turkey and they will push for the influx of Refugees to Europe to give a final rise to Fascist governments in the EU, which then will help them to exterminate the Arabs in a Genocide that will dwarf the Holocaust.
Unless the EU gets itself together now and removes every and all support for Israel and imposes a total arms and economic blockade, Israel will set West Asia ablaze in a way that the fire will also consume Europe.
