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.

No, you just have to omit the word "Action" when you are talking about Palestine.
I wonder if they pay you if you support Palestine Inaction.
A swing...and a miss.
No, the one that exists in reality.
"We recognise that the thing Israel are destroying – with the weapons we're selling them – is, in fact, a state."
Forgive my ignorance, but why is this happening now?
I think they previously announced it would happen on a deadline if certain conditions were not met. And now it appears that those conditions were not met.
Ok, but does that do anything, like force NATO countries to treat it any differently or trigger some article somewhere? Pardon my ignorance.
I don't know either but it seems Israel government is furious about it, so I guess it's already a win.
Israel is a good actor
Nope, not at all.
No. This isn't a NATO thing. NATO is pretty much only concerned with the security of the North Atlantic area.
After recognising the state of Palestine, these countries can proceed to exchange ambassadors with Palestine.
I mean, I'm pretty sure Yugoslavia was never a part of the North Atlantic area. Unless we're counting the Mediterranean Sea. But I don't think that helps the argument here...
The North Atlantic area is defined in an expansive, but not unlimited, manner. The treaty defines the North Atlantic area as:
- all of North America
- The Atlantic ocean, including islands, north of the Tropic of Cancer
- the "home" territory of any European member.
So, Turkey is at the extreme flank of the area, by having a bit of core territory in Europe. All of Turkey's territory is covered, though, even the parts not in Europe.
Palestine is not eligible to join the alliance, because its territory is not in Europe or North America.
Some other tidbits: Guam, Hawaii, the Falkland Islands, Reunion, and the British Indian Ocean Territory are all examples of member territories that are not protected because they fall outside the North Atlantic area.
To my knowledge israel is not in the north atlantic so why they express support for a settler colonialism project? Yugoslavia where they intervened was not in the north atlantic area either
Mostly public pressure, and probably some residual guilt.
Oh ok. Just in time, too.
A smoke screen to claim to support palestine while still giving israel weapons to destroy palestine
Eat shit, Netanyahu.
I guess that's why they call him "Bibi", because he's a big fucking crybibi who throws a tantrum every time someone criticizes him or something doesn't go his way.
