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.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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 shame the people in the Israeli government have never had any experience with a hostile government seizing their property in the past, otherwise they might reconsider what they're doing.
It's not like stealing, it is stealing.
i don't think stealing quite does it. war crime stealing should have a name.
It does, it's called plunder.
That sounds so piratey and piracy shouldn't just be a war crime. It should be a lesser crime capable of being committed not as a war crime as well. But I don't know what to call boat robbery. Not all sea crimes are war crimes. They're sea crimes. They're worse.
Clicked to say exactly that.
Stealing dot yes
A Booking.com spokesperson said: “Our mission is to make it easier for everyone to experience the world and as such we believe it’s not our place to decide where someone can or cannot travel.
Whether you allow listing properties on Booking.com or not, it isn't "deciding where someone can or cannot travel." People traveled the world for thousands of years before Booking.com existed. What a shitty rebuttal.
Wowzer, booking.com fucking sucks I guess
both booking.com and airbnb.
Add them to the list of collaborators.
This ain't going to go well for them. Lotta hate for Israel and companies that support their crimes.
How are they to determine that the property has been stolen? Or do you want them to exit the entire country? Because I'd argue that the latter does make travel more expensive.
How do they determine that any property belongs to the host? Exiting the entire country doesnt sound like a bad idea in this case.
What's your actual argument for travel being more expensive if Booking.com doesn't host stolen property?
No need for "like" here, that's just stealing, the end
like
Hmm.
~~like~~ is
