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.

Israel is just sickening. Someone asked me why I consider Israel's actions as genocide. The treatment of an ethnic group's children is a key indicator. Israel and genocide Joe have to be stopped.
Even hamas, whose morals are conspicuous by their absence, has qualms about kidnapping children. Also to women, but as usual men can only be either potential threats or disposable resources.
They don’t seem to have problems burning or otherwise killing then though.
Did you read that link? 🤔
You'll need a veeery good source for that, bud. Because among Hamas atrocities, this is one of the few things they've proven to not do as a rule.
why do you trust a terrorist group
No, I'm trusting the footage we have of the attack. There were many instances of Hamas soldiers shooting the parents but sparing the children.
Ah yes then it's all good.
It's okay, they're just KKKKKHHHAMAS mini terrorists. /s
@snek Do you know Hamas recruitment age?
@machinin
Out of curiosity, how old should someone be when they are detained without any due process, held without charges and at the whim of some invading military force? When is a good age to start doing that?
Around 12 in Israel.
@snek Can you give your source? Or very inappropriate joke if it is
@machinin
Youngest prisoner in Israeli jail is a 12-year-old girl
12-year-old Palestinian detained and interrogated by Israeli forces (a different 12-year-old)
From Middle East Eye:
Shahed, the Military Court Watch 20% have a lawyer present, 0% have a parent present.
A full breakdown of all detainees and their ages
edit: formatting of links
another edit:
Here are the testimonies of about 22 children who had been detained by Israel, interrogated, and in a lot of cases physically abused and tortured at the age of 12
Here are some that I wasn't able to read so easily:

@Fitik@kbin.social it would be nice if you could confirm reading this and maybe share your opinion, since I spent quite some time putting these together, thanks 😬
@Fitik@kbin.social, hi, just wondering if you checked my response to this question yet? Like I said, I put a lot of effort into it so I'd appreciate you basically "confirming" you got it.... it's because I find it hard to believe this needs to be sourced.
@snek Yes I have, however I didn't see it mention IDF recruitment age anywhere in it. And underage detainees is not something unique to Israel.
@machinin
You didn't ask about IDF recruitment age...
I hope this was a mistake.
Edit: just FYI this is what it looks like
What does it look like for you on kbin?
@snek I am sorry for the misunderstanding then, I thought it was a reply to my comment about Hamas recruitment age.
@machinin
From what I've read, some people are recruited as teenagers.
Now a question to you , why did you ask me this question instead of googling it? 🤔 I'm assuming you already know the answer. So what's your point with the question? Thanks.
Edit: completely unrelated but I didn't get a notification of you mentioning me... not sure why /:
@Fitik@kbin.social this was the answer to your other question
As soon as they are out of prison they can join.
Genocide Joe is cute but going after Benjamin Netanyahu would be more effective.
