A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

What a surprise that Israelis are trying to break the agreement hours after they announced it!
Totally. This must be the first time ever they did something like that :-|
In one of the articles doing the rounds for this 'ceasefire' last night, the title was all about this "ceasefire agreement being reached", then in the post under the article the person wrote "the office of Netanyahu has not yet finalized things on their end". So clearly people have different definitions of "an agreement being reached", like Windows Update and the concept of "100% complete".
I think they agreed in principle but the actual vote is thurs.
Israel can do a little bit more genocide until the paperwork is signed, as a treat
And it would take effect on Sunday.
They had a few details to iron out and it is supposed to be done and signed today.
What the fuck is wrong with Israeli leaders?
Do you want a top 3 or a full list?
If the latter, we could be here for days.....
might be easier to say what isn't wrong with them.
They're following a very simple doctrine. You give the people an enemy, real or even created out of whole cloth, and then you fight them. People rally around the leaders and they get money, votes, power and adoration thrown at them. The requirement is a complete lack of morality and a maxed out hunger for power.
Bonus points if it’s tied to religious doctrine
I'm pretty sure it's fascism.
To the surprise of absolutely nobody.
I think the ceasefire was agreed to start on Sunday.
Exactly. They have to get as much killing in as possible before time runs out.
