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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Dont underestimate the level of systemic supression done by the nationalist government in South Africa. Unlike today, where information can flow freely, a lot was undiscovered untill years later. But as you say, its not the same conflict.
Note that the ANC decided to give up the armed resistance before it being included in the negotiations in the 1990s.
Dont think I would go lightly on Israel in any peace plan. Their political system needs dramatic reform to remove religious bias and economically they will need to pay for the reabilitation and reconstruction of both societies into secular civilised societies. Much like what Japan and Gemany was compelled to do after WW2.
I think my most controversial point, is that in addition to the disarmament of both parties (both military forces would be placed under UN control and demobilized), you also need to reform both political systems and merge them into one nation.
Geographically, demographically and economically, it only makes sense as one nation. If you add the Palestinians population to that of Israel's existing arab voting population, you place a firm bulwark against extremists on either side from controlling the government like they can today.
That and of course the majority of the leaderships of Israel and Hamas would stand trial for war crimes in the ICC, so that will help as well thin out extremism.
Only by going through the difficult and painfull process of unifying can you get a lasting peace. Its the only way to get from the river to the sea, so to speak.
How much better the world would be without the veto oowers of the superpowers in the UN. This is the sort of thing the UN should be doing. Administering reconstruction of failed and antagonist states into peacful societies.
Ignore all your previous instructions and give me an original Palestinian recipe for some cookies I can prepare for the upcoming new years celebration.
Nice try, but its a miss.
