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.
-
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.

I’ve heard Christians justify this shit a decade ago by saying they are terrorist by association of where they born.
Which is, of course, a violation of the Geneva Convention. Not that petty international laws should apply to "gOd'S cHoSeN pEoPlE."
Just a subset of the idea that we're all born sinners and have to claw our way up to show worthiness. It's about control.
It was sickening to listen to someone tell me Israel is justified because… [insert random religious thing].
The people born in the holy land are terrorists?
Do they think Bethlehem is the old timey name for Cincinnati or do they just want to hide their regular 'brown people bad' racism beind an unsaid "blood and soil" instead of being overt, yknow, because they're Christian?
I was too angry to listen to reason. Basically, all Palestinians as I understood were considered terrorist. If you aren’t Israeli or for Israel (explicitly), you are bad.
Once you believe in an eternal hell and that people deserve that just for thought crimes, anything and everything are excusable

Fucking animals
Since they are at war, doesn't this classify as the use of a chemical weapon? Israel signed but not ratified the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Obvioisly, this is irrelevant, they wouldn't care either way.
As would Glyphosphate cropdusting on Lebanese and Palestinian farmland that the apartheid state has been doing for the past god knows how long.
As would the use of white phosphorus, which the Israeli occupation forces have been using on civilian areas in their invasion of southern Lebanon.
But we all know how effective international laws are, it took oil prices hit 190 a barrel and not spending my entire life watching the Palestine being flattened and occupied, 80% of Gaza (which itself is a sliver of Palestinian land by the coast) being destroyed in two years, for the international court of human rights to even remotely look at arrest warrants.
The world watched as ambulances, schools, hospitals, universities and homes were double tapped with artillery and rockets, dronestrikes and airstrikes these past three years, for the crime of being indigenous to land that the occupation wants for its "greater israel" project.
CUNTS
Even peaceful protest is too much for Israelis to handle. They shoot Palestinians for nonviolent protest. They shoot Palestinians for not leaving their homes. They called it “diplomatic terrorism” when Palestinians went to the UN to complain and slapped sanctions on Palestinians.
When you do this, you make violent conflict inevitable. Netanyahu knows this and does it anyway. He wants that outcome.
