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.

Hezbollah are actual terrorists and proxies of Iran. There is no way any sane person can side with them. Their followers will gladly terrorise Europe and Israel as a "punishment". The world will be a better place without Hezbollah, and it may finally mean freedom for the Lebanese and peaceful sleep for the Israelis.
IDK what you mean by "actual terrorist" or "proxy". Would it include an organization labeled "terrorist" by the U.S. And the U.K.? Maybe people who planted bombs in the King David hotel? Maybe it would be working hand in glove with a criminal regime to terrorize innocent people? OK because what I just described is an organization called Irgun led by a fellow called Menachem Begin, or the 6th prime minister of Israel. (he was in charge when Israel invaded Lebanon if that helps narrow it down.)
This isn't a whataboutism, but a refutation to the single-digit fallacy that the terrorists are only on one side.
All I did was explain why Nasrallah probably didn't leave after being warned of the assassination attempt. Right now Hezbollah is the only thing stopping/slowing down Israel occupying Lebanon. And given how we've seen what Israel does to the native population of it's occupied territories (i.e. Palestine). I don't see how Israel being allowed to do what they want to Lebanon would be good for the Lebanese population.
Israel will also be able to get some peace if they didn't start instigating fights and wars and commit mass genocide. That's also an alternative.
Yup. Dunno why you're getting downvoted for stating the facts ... unless ofc it's just too many don't like truth anymore.
Lemmy as a whole tends to lean against what Israel is doing, thankfully. Something I personally find is when voicing these kinds of opinions, I tend to start with a few downvotes and then as the post gets traction and more people see it the upvotes actually start rolling in (still with some downvotes though). Seems like there are a few pro-Zionist accounts browsing new based on my experiences. I guess we'll see if this comment follows that trend.
What creature is a Zionist in the morning, anti-genocide in the afternoon and uses Arch btw in the evening?
A lemur?
This is just nonsense. Hezbollah was founded to drive the Israeli invasion out of Lebanon in 1982. If they were the cartoon villains, the western propaganda tries to make them out to be, they would have relentlessly attacked Israel ever since. Instead we saw a simmering conflict with escalations and deescalation over the past twenty years, until Israels full fledged escalation since a few weeks.
Hezbollah made it clear that they will stop attacking once a ceasefire in Gaza is reached, something the Netanyahu government has continuously blocked.
Hezbollah are a much larger danger to Sunni Muslims because of them helping Iran expand its Shia influence through violence in Iraq and Syria, than they are any danger to the West.
I know it is difficult for the white supremacists to acknowledge, but these groups don't care about the West, unless it directly meddles in their regional affairs.
Do you think Rhodesian citizens deserved to sleep peacefully?
Also, how is dropping 85 2000lb bombs on 6 apartment blocks to kill 1 person not terrorism?
How is a mass indiscriminate bombing campaign using every day items that would have been envied by the Unabomber not terrorism?
EDIT: It's also been leaked by Israel that they assassinated Nasrallah cause he wouldn't decouple a ceasefire deal with Lebanon with a ceasefire deal with Gaza.
To claim they will terrorize Europe is a stretch. Their group was created as a bulwark against European and American terrorism.
Hi Bibi! How are you today? I guess I need a shrink. Wish I was a sane person like you! My heroe!
