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.

But it is? Unrwa workers labour in schools and teach using books, which say that jews must be eradicated.
It is well documented that unrwa workers were there at these schools. That is why there were unrwa workers taken as pow along with hamas soldiers.
Part of this is by necessity. If you want to provide aid to the children held by these terrorists, you need to play by terrorist rules. It is the same reason doctors with border doctors were denying that hamas was hiding beneath the hospital.
Oh if you want proof, the idf posted a video of going through the bombed schools and went through the books. Vids before oct 7 actually interviewed the kids and asked them what they learned and it was pretty much “eradicate jews”
I told you where the source exists and what it is and how to find it lol. If you want me to provide a link to excuse your laziness, then dont place that on me being dishonest.
You are extremely delusional to believe that the idf is equivalent to alex jones in terms of veracity. And just to make it clear, the idf is also more honest than hamas
Edit: also nice anti semitism by equating an israeli defense force to one of the most conspiracy addled anti semitic people out of there
I trust the IDF about as far as I can throw Alex Jones, so 🤷♂️
The idf is the most reliable source of information there. You might as well not believe or comment on the conflict at all if you don’t trust any IDF correspondence
Plenty of the worlds media has cast doubt on IDF statements. I trust them more than the IDF
When the world media is citing hamas, then no.
Doesnt matter what anyone here thinks. The truth can be unpopular. Israel will continue defending itself, and yall cant do shit to stop it. Keep crying because the terrorists that you support keep losing.
I proved that hamas are terrorists that you support? Thanks I guess.
Only stupid people believe terrorists over established intelligence allies.
The CIA was toppling democratically elected governments. Hamas is a terrorist organization that hasn't held a vote in two decades. no equivalence unless you believe all "underdogs" are equivalent.
You're an idiot if you think that criticism of Biibi or IDF actions equates to supporting Hamas. I get that you like one side of the conflict but don't assume that because others dislike the mass killing of civilians that means that they support terrorists.
Then I am not an idiot. Thank you.
Bibi needs criticism. Let's not elevate Hamas as resistance fighters tho.
You are an idiot if you are denying some of the very real anti semitism coming from the left now. Jews should be allowed to be Jews and have that independent from the israeli-palestinian confilct.
Care to show me where I elevated Hamas or denied anti-antisemitism from any quarter at all?
I am not israeli lmao. I am not even jewish. I am actually of muslim and catholic descent. I just have a brain and recognize the obvious anti semitism from the left.
If we were criticizing only idf, then sure. Why is the left protesting jewish restaurants in philly and nyc?
Progressive leftists have some issues with antii semitism if they are protesting random jews on behalf of palestine. Immediately obvious
happened in philly and nyc at random jewish restaurants...
Now you pretend like the left wasnt ok with protesting random jews in the usa lol.
Zionist nazi… lmao. I am not even jewish.
i don't support hamas unlike ya tho
