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.

Is it anti Semetic for Palestinians to have the right to self determination? Asking seriously.
I don't see the correlation so I don't understand the quiestion. Are Palestinians not allowed to self determine themselves in their Gaza strip without ideology that would affect basic humans rights of others aside from Hammas influence? Please elaborate.
Just like the Jewish people have the right to "self determination", do Palestinians as a nation have the same right to self determination?
Yeah can't they do it without affecring anyone's basic human's rights ?
Whose rights would be ruined if palestinians as a people had the right to self determination?
I don't know I was asking the question if they can do it. Because i didn't get answer to my question here about whether they are they allowed to do it or not .
Are you asking if it's doable to have self determination and not kill anyone?
Well kinda, I asked if they are not allowed to do that in a way that won't turn into violence .
You know self determination is very general term. I could self determine at the expense of you or I could do it in neutral or even beneficial way to you. But I'm merely asking if they are not allowed.
Since we're talking avour Israel, I mean the same one they say they have.
Do you mean shelling neighbors or democracy ? And again aren't Palestinians allowed self determination without violence ? To me you seem to have reason to think they aren't. I'm just trying to figure out what is the reason.
I think you are totally misreading the situation here. /: Maybe some background info you seem to have missing about this entire issue?
Not sure. I'm just asking plain simple question, that is: "Aren’t Palestinians allowed self determination without violence ? "
Maybe (American Heritage) definition of self determination could help ?

I'm asking because I'm Palestinian. No one talked about violence at all.
Seems like you are avoiding the answer, so i won't pursue any further.
I think you completely missed the point of it and maybe there was a misunderstanding because the things you were asking and commenting on weren't making sense and seemed like you were pulling my leg to say some bullshit (maybe you assumed I was pro-Israeli? Or maybe pro-Palestinian?) maybe you missed the whole Israeli self determination thing in history? Idk.
I'm not trying to run away from anything. Your question doesn't make sense or is awkwardly phrased.
You can ask again as long as it makes a bit of sense lmfao
You said following
I asked this simple question to better understand where you are coming from.
What are you looking for behind it is beyond me. Either they can or they can't . Some people think nothing stops them, Some people say they made a democratic choice to vote for Hammas others think Israel is totalitarian regime, others think evil west oppresses them.
Okay, before I give an answer (which is obviously yes anyway), what is the purpose of asking whether or not they can do it without affecting people's basic human rights? What made you assume or think this was even part of the original question? And who do you think would be affected by a group of people being given bsck their full rights?
If you don't want to answer that that's fine but my answer is "yes but dort go around pulling people's legs, clearly this question is loaded".
What made me ask about violence ? There are mutliple things but i guess most fresh one is October 7th music festival. Another one would be of-roof-trowings. Also son of Hammad leader testament. etc.
I have not asumed you asked about it. I asked this question to better understand your POV.
Do you mean who would be negatively affected by making democracy in Gaza? It's simple, Hamas would lose their position of power. (No more of-roof-trowing)
What is with your obsession with legs pulling. Keep on mentioning it all over. If question is clear, give clear answer or refuse to answer it. Instead of running around like with hot potato. It looks like you trying to mislead me or something.
Yeah, maybe.
