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.
-
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.

Is it war when one group is wholly reliant on another for access to food, water, communication, electricity and other forms of aid?
It's ridiculous to call this a war when there's such a dependency. Israel wants Palestinians in gaza over the southern border or dead, an ethnic cleansing and genocide.
Not to mention the West Bank, which is not controlled by Hamas, being a center of settler violence and concentration camps for Palestinians.
Some war.
Why is Palestine not a country? When Israel was created, Palestine was supposed to have been officially created too, you know why?
Would you have accepted someone slicing the territory your people lived in as far back as you remember, expelling you from your home and telling you to move someplace else? I wouldn't have. Perhaps that's why.
You mean the 1948 partition resolution (which didn't expel anyone from anywhere) or the 1967 armistice borders? Or do you mean the illegal settlements in the West Bank?
Ah yes, nobody expelled anyone from anywhere in 1948.
Ok, fine, I read up on it and the Nakba was BEFORE the declaration of war by arab states. I think I saw an explanation that said they were expelled because they supported the arab invaders...which was propaganda I guess.
I guess it is a sort of "civil war" of independence, but still pretty fucked up any way you look at it :/
The DW documentary “Israel - Birth of a State” is very informative if you can find a way to watch it. It’s from earlier in 2023, by one of Germany’s major news outlets.
Man, I usually have no trouble finding these docs all over the internet, but this one was harder than expected for an official public broadcaster like DW. All samples in youtube were made private, even the ones that had been published in other sites, the Internet Archive version is mangled...piped and yewtube can't show it... I had to stoop down to the level of bitchute, but it was there :D thanks for the recommendation. https://www.bitchute.com/video/zh8PPsipFwgH/
That's weird. I watched it straight on DW's YouTube channel in October. Well maybe not so weird.
It's still up, but only in hindi :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSMpCPsZXdw

Hasbara bot be gone!
Hamas groupie, grow up!
