A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

If he didn’t want to destroy the government of Israel before, he’s got the right to now.
the appellant plotted a plan with his cousin to murder innocent people on nationalistic and ideological grounds
Izreal would never murder anyone on ideologic grounds!
Every alleged Palestinian attack, if real (a big 'if'), are self defence.
Well said, they are most moral and kind, and deserve all the praise. Nobody is talking about how traumatising it must have been for the soldiers to have to keep him and torture him for all this time?! The world hates Jews.
Israeli being Israeli. You know, for being persecuted throughout history, I would think that Jews would want to stay on the right side of history.
I can't trust any Jews in my community now. They might look at my skin and think badly of me. Maybe they might hurt me. I'm not Palestinian but dark skin is dark skin to these racists.
Zionism goes against the actual teachings of Judaism, it's very revisionist. Jewish opposition to Israel is as old as Zionism itself. Hasidic Jewish people, while small in number, are still the largest Anti-zionist group in Israel. Jewish people have been at the forefront of Anti-zionist activism for a long time, including Jewish Voice for Peace. Palestinians too of course.
Zionism uses Judaism as a shield, deflecting criticism against it's fascist actions as anti-semitic, which in-turn raises the amount of genuine anti-semitism experienced by Jewish people worldwide, due to that false conflation of Judaism and Zionism. That's why it's critical to detangle that false conflation.
Adi Callai, an Israeli, does a great analysis of how Antisemitism has been weaponized by Zionism during its history.
There is many Jews who oppose Israel and want nothing to do with it.
You should not alienate them. Answering Israels racism with discrimination against Jews isn't better and only serves the interests of the Zionist ideologues that often cooperate with Antisemites as they have the same goals.
I'm definitely avoiding them in my hometown. I can't look at homes with Israel flags and be like "yay we should get along". Sorry, if you fly that flag in America, we all know what kind of person you are.
Also, where are these Jewish people that are against the genocide? Why are they so quite in my town?
The voice of Zionism is so loud and strong.
