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.

NYtimes is trash:
"The Israel Prison Service and other authorities issue flat denials of abuse in detention facilities despite mounting evidence of mistreatment of detainees, including sexual assault."
"Mistreatment of detainees" That's a really long way to say rape, murder, genocide, crimes against humanity, systemic starvation, apartheid, collective punishment, and so on. Fuck the new york times for soft peddling pretty much all of their reporting on pissrael.
All for a western audience. Back home, these bastards all support the colonist settlers
Stop calling them "settlers" pretty much any other name would be more accurate. Invaders, thieves, murderers, genociders, etc. but not settlers.
You might think that, but settler colonialism has always worked this way.
Like how "settling the west" is somehow romanticized in US's shool system. Barf.
Do you have anything to back up this claim? Herzog was the leader of the opposition for years, met with Abbas, supports a two state solution and is a critic of Netanyahu.
He said there was no innocent people in Gaza. Everybody claim yo support a two state yet many still sells weapons to israel to commit genocide and will not tell you how to accomplish it. They would also tell you palestinians has no right to an army to defend itself.
The art of suck and blow.
His military are protecting them. Means nothing as long as there's state sponsored ethnic cleansing.
The tl;dr of President Isaac Herzog's Israeli Labor party's position on settlements is to permanently take Palestinean land from Palestineans, but slower and less violently than Likud wants to.
The criminal who said there is no innocent in Gaza
Lol, what is this bullshit? He's been cheering them on all along.
He cited examples of thuggery like a surge of “mob” violence by Jews against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and the abuse of detainees in Israeli custody.
Reads like ICE tactics against immigrants.
