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.

Apparently the Israeli Finance minister gave a big speech about how they're letting just enough aid through to avoid war criminal status, and Netenyahu started a new military push.
Seems to have caught the UK, France, amd Canada off guard, and ticked them off. Even saw an article from The American Conservative saying Trump should stop supporting Israel, and he's currently pretty focused on winning Europe back over.
Well, just last week, UK government lawyers were claiming "no evidence of genocide in Gaza" while defending the sale of military equipment that may flow to Israel, so the UK certainly seems to be talking out both sides of its ass. Or arse, as the case may be.
18 months of Israel's indiscriminate slaughter of Palestinian civilians - mainly in Gaza but also increasingly in the West Bank by military forces and paramilitary "settlers" - and this looks like a pretty damn tepid response.
Better than nothing. But not much better.
avoid war criminal status
Surely that boat has already sailed.
Two of the five trucks the ZioNazis let in yesterday were filled with nothing but shrouds and body bags.
Not support but make them a terrorist state. This is genocide.
The settlers are funded by the Israeli government.
The settlers are enabled by the Israeli government's use military force against whoever already lives on the land they want to "settle." The money is the smallest of the issues at hand.
Good, fuck those fucking fucks
Trump about to tear up his UK trade deal I bet
Fuck isntreal
