A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

Because child mortality decreased while birth rates didn't fall. Natural population growth.
Jews have always lived in the area as not all Palestinians happened to convert to Christianity and later Islam back in the day.
Why should random diaspora Jews have a right to settle there, though? Two different ways:
Israel is founded on a myth of #1 while actually doing, or at least tolerating, #2. That's what the Nakhba was.
It became state policy.
Did you ever wonder where the IDF was on the 7th of October? Why it wasn't at the ready to repel the attack? It was busy backing up settler violence in the West Bank. Or do you want to deny what Israel is doing in the West Bank? The state-sanctioned terror going on there?
No, actually, they didn't. Jews haven't terrorised anyone for millennia, that's a development which started with Zionism, particularly in its right-wing incarnations.
"No stay where you are in Russia where they are killing and raping you."
You have revisionist context. The nakhba started in 1948. You act like the Palestine Arabs did nothing wrong themselves over the 66 years since the first settlements.
You leave out stuff like this
And this
In 1922 11% of the population was Jew settlers.
It started after 30 years of being ransacked by the Arabian looters of the area who were doing that for at least 300 years.
Then you brought up land sales as well. So, this all started because they sold their land to Jews then were mad Jews moved into the land?
People were once saying there was no Hamas in West Bank. There were no supporters there. Then it came out Hamas was indeed there. They should just leave them alone, eh?
Why Israel? As far as I can see New York is the real Zion.
What the burned olive trees, cared about for by one Palestinian family for generations, were Hamas?
You're worried about olive trees when they kill innocent and kidnap them into torture tunnels? You're worried about West bank terrorist olive trees? Olive trees are what you're worried about? While there are still hostages in tunnels you worry about olive trees?
They should burn every last centuries old as well as sapling olive tree until those people are returned.
Would you say the olive trees of jenin are Hamas olive trees?
One guy yelled that all are Hamas? When the rest didn't say anything then obviously it must be true because it's what you like to believe.
