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.

Uh... Almost all of Gaza is rubble. At the lowest estimate more than 1% of the population is killed, likely much more. Half the ammunition used in Gaza was "dumb", non-precision ammunition. What else do you need?
Proof of genocide, and not the Hamas kind of proof
Too bad there's no video...
Killing 1500 israelis is a genocide but over 20k palestinians is not! We get it Israelis life is more precious than palestinians to pro-israel
Judging by numbers is extremely inaccurate. Whole argument of saying that one side has killed more people, hence is worse, is irrelevant and very wrong.
Actually, those are Hamas claimed numbers. The IDF numbers claim more than 8,000 dead combatents, that's actually a more than reasonable civilian to combatant ratio comparing to recent and less recent conflicts.
I know that sounds a bit heartless, but given the population density in Gaza it's quite clear there's no genocide intent here.
I would even argue that the Israeli army did more to save Palestinian lives than Hamas, who put them in an impossible situation for the sake of Jihad.
Like giving civilians a "safe route" and then bombing them as they followed it? Or bombing refugee camps? Sniping civilians? Cutting off the fuel supply and bombing hospitals?
So it should have not given a safe route?
Hamas lies, in fact they actually shot at their fleeing people to deter them from leaving so they'll remain human shields, obviously blaming Israel.
The refugee camps are being used by terrorists, ate you telling Israel how to achieve its goals? In fact, even after Israel designated humanitarian zones, Hamas started shooting from there.
Humanitarian needs are being taken care of, although I don't think any country would do the same in the same situation where the electricity and fuel are constantly being used against you. Can you imagine supplying fuel to a country that keeps throwing rockets on you for years? This situation is absurd.
Hamas lies which have already been proven so. The single time a hospital was hit was due to an Islamic Jihad rocket misfiring and landing in a hospital parking lot (supposedly killing 500 people according to the fastest body conters in the world, which were able to supply that body count around 5 minutes after that missile exploded).
You misquoted my comment, and still failed to convey your message.
What are you talking about exactly?
For those of you wandering what was in this deleted comment - it's videos taken by GoPro's carried by the Hamas terrorists as they raided Israeli towns and brutally murdered as much civilians as they could find, including women and children.
Apperantly, it's not OK by the mod to show (or even link to) evidence of actual genocide, only to make false claims of one. The mod didn't explained which rule is it that led to my comment being deleted.
If anyone's interested (I couldn't watch all of it, and what I was able to watch kept me up at night) - contact me directly and I'll send you the link for your viewing displeasure.
