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.

Cutting through gaza like tanks through tiananmen .
How many civilians did the Tiananmen Square rebels rape and murder?
Palestinian civilians are not Hamas.
Hamas is a spreading cancer and palestinian civilians are the (still) healthy cells. Do we have means of removing the cancer without damaging the healthy cells? It doesn't seem like we do. But the solution cannot be to just let the cancer be, almost everything is a better choice than that.
ok, so you wholeheartedly support the Nazis idea of the "volkskörper".
it's somewhat ironic that Israel has convinced the world that it represents all Jews, but has also taken up the rest of the Nazi bullshit and people repeat it continuously (because the idea that a nation represents all people of X group is already blood and soil logic), I guess this is what happens when you have Nationalists and "X power party" in charge.
Well no. If I had called palestinians the cancer of Israel, then my comment would've been disgusting bigotry at the level of the original nazis, but I was referring to only Hamas as being cancerous, and, as you might notice, I referred to palestinians as the healthy cells.
It's not a great metaphor anyway, so perhaps I shouldn't defend it this much.
no, you justified Palestinians needing to be killed because the caner of Hamas is growing in them
I worry that you think cancer is cured by killing its host.
so first off, what do you think chemotherapy is? secondly, when we remove a tumor surgically we take all the surrounding healthy tissue around it out as well, and how do we differentiate the "healthy" and "cancerous" humans?
there is a Reason why we rightfully despise the people who use body-politic or "volkskörper" rhetoric, because once you get right down to it, it's always genocide and murder as an answer.
Ironic that you would use the ideological understanding of groups of people from the Nazis to defend the current genocide (and yes it's a genocide)
We do, actually! You should read up on immunotherapy. It's not for everyone, but it works in many cases.
The metaphor holds up, too. With sufficient time and effort, you can make things work.
I won't deny existence of rapes in war but here, this is a lightning strike attack and according to the amount of casualties (maybe inflated, knowing Israel), I don't see how hamas doing that would have time to rape anyone, capture and transport hostages without getting attacked by army or police which is everywhere.
Bro you are going it off of your way to call Israel numbers inflated while at the same time trusting Hamas numbers lol. Also going out of your way to justify terrorists taking and murdering people as if those weren't bad enough haha
if they lied on the beheaded babies, you know... I don't have to trust Hamas, I don't even know where I would listen to them. Regarding Israel, it's pretty obvious they are freewheeling and they are saturating mainstream media with BS without real challenge.
anyway...
