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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Greta Thunberg said that the Israelis bound her and placed her next to an Israeli flag, and then kicked her whenever the flag touched her. So, they even mildly tortured an internationally famous person who was not Palestinian, and who they knew would be released and would share the story.
So, if they're not afraid of doing that to Thunberg when they know it will be exposed, then nothing would surprise me about what they're doing when they don't think they'll get caught.
They don’t care whether they are “caught” or not. As long as they enjoy the protection of the government of the US, they can do whatever they want. Nothing has ever stopped Israel.
She also says they would routinely go by and bang the bars, flash their flashlights and force them all to stand up, in the middle of the night.
Torture by removing sleep, keeping the prisoners in a constant state of exhaustion.
I agree. But I also want to acknowledge the sickness of Israeli society. They are not worried about what will be "seen". They haved posted their war crimes as "wins" on tiktok for over two years. This is not a group of people trying to hide their crimes. They are proud of them. Just listen to any Israeli speaking Hebrew. The only time they bother to pretend is when they give some speech or video in English. They know that the media is working for them. They have no shame. The modern day Nazis are proud to be Nazis.
The abuse of Greta is more of a flex than anything else. Likely, less worse than how they treat Palestinians. So, you are correct in that. But they are enjoying seeing their brutality shown to the world. They are proud of it.
