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.

reminder there was a truce before the 7th of October attacks
Reminder that there was a 56 year occupation and a 75 year ethnic cleansing before the 7th of October attacks
Some more reminders to add:
Reminder that a majority of Palestinian deaths since October 7th were not members of Hamas
Reminder that hundreds have been murdered in the West Bank since October 7th even though "war" was only declared against Hamas who has no administration over the West Bank
Reminder that a large swath of civilian deaths were children who had no say in the 2006 "election" of Hamas to administer the Gaza strip
Reminder that multiple Palestinian villages have been ethnically cleansed in the West Bank during the assault on Gaza, by settler militias supported by the IOF.
Reminder that Israel rejected early proposals for hostage exchanges opting instead for carnage on the Palestinian civilians.
Reminder that Israel KNEW of the October 7 attack ahead of time and failed to do anything to stop it.
Reminder that Israel is by all accounts a setler-colonial ethnostate imposing apartheid on the Palestinian people.
If you're interested in the double standard regarding such definitions, watch this: "Algeria, where are your Jews?" For those unaware of the answer, they were driven from the Muslim world.
My support for Palestinian liberation has nothing to do with Algeria, sorry.
You called them an apartheid state, Algeria, (along with Palestine and other Pro-Palestinian Islamic nations,) had something to do with the UN inappropriately defining them as such. Maybe watch the video?
The title is a whataboutism. So no, I'm not going to give it engagement, even to debunk it. Israel's occupation of the West Bank and imprisonment of Gaza is objectively Apartheid, all on it's own.
Can't be proven wrong if you refuse to look at contradictory evidence.
Judging books and videos by their titles is foolish. This is incredibly relevant, even if you choose willful ignorance.
Don't title your media with propaganda memes and people won't assume.
Yes it's clearly their fault you refuse to look at evidence even after I've told you to look beyond the title and why it's relevant. 🙄
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
