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.

MODERATORS
Jesus christ how long until they just fire up the gas chambers and skip this song and dance of a trial where the defendant gets no appeals, limited legal counsel, no unanimous decision, and no prosecutorial discretion? These politicians are absolutely disgusting.
We past that point ages ago. This is a purely procedural motion to legitimize the de facto summary executions and extrajudicial murders already happening in the field.
IDF thugs have been bombing emergency vehicles, demolishing every source of potable water or edible food, and wounding children in order to lure adults out of hiding with their cries for help going back... straight to the Nakba of 1948 if we're being honest. But it really took off in 2018, during the first peaceful March of Return. Then it accelerated enormously after Oct 7th.
Anyone Israelis have captured since then has been brutalized solely for military intelligence and propaganda. Executing them is a matter of course. There's a case of a one-year-old being tortured in order to extract information from his father, for instance. Palestinians who leave Israeli custody have often been so maimed and abused that they die within a few days or weeks of release. This is deliberate. Their executions would have been a formality at best.
"They did that to their own kid to make us look bad!"
They've been so upfront and honest with things so far, you know they won't abuse this system in any way. I mean, only for actual terrorists, and not like 7 year olds... /S
The Jews have become the Nazis. How the fuck do these people go from having this done to them, to doing it to others. Fuck them all. Also want a record of everyone wearing those pins, so when we bring back the Hague we can hang them.
They turned PEZ into a torment nexus...
The candy?
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. A Czarist Russian propaganda piece still popular with paranoid antisemites.
Ummm... no.
Is this my personal "water, you mean like from the toilet?" moment?
Brawndo's got electrolytes. It's what plants crave.
P.E.Z. refers to a nazi propaganda piece about a made-up cabal of satanic, pedophilic, and cannibalistic Jews who secretly ruled the world or were plotting to take over the world and subjugate every non-Jew.
It was a complete fabrication and total lunacy, obviously. But the nazis used it to instill fear and mistrust of the Jews, blame them for society's problems, and attempt to justify the discrimination, segregation, and eventual holocaust.
And yet... less than a century later we have the Likud, Epstein, Israel bombing almost all of their neighbors to destabilize the region under some sort of eschatological and ethno-supremacist delusions, and with a standing policy to nuke the entire planet if their total defeat is ever imminent.
The "torment nexus" refers to a trope where a guy was talking about some tech bros who invented the torment nexus from the science fiction novel titled "don't invent the torment nexus"...
i.e., the unimaginable horror was fiction, until reality changed suit to match it...
I was familiar with torment nexus and the nazi lies, but PEZ threw me. Thank you for the exoosition. It truly is mind boggling that Israel has become what the Nazis accused the Jews of being.
It stands for something, but I'm afraid if I type it out I might get on a list. The first word is protocols, the middle word is what you call people who are older than you, and I think you can guess the z...
Got it with the first hint. Guess I've just never seen it by initials before.
Maybe it's not that common, I'm just not trying to attract the notice of israeli web crawlers...
Good idea
You know a lot of Jews feel like Israel stole the Jewish identity and transformed it into something grotesque.
I saw this interesting interview with a Rabbi who explained how Israel Zionist stole it's so called Jewish identity as a means to enact terror on the middle east and hide behind "but we Jews are the victim, remember the Holocaust?".
This Jewish Rabbi really doesn't like Zionism nor Israel government. I felt much more informed on the topic of how Israel Zionism formed after watching this. 15 min video if you are interested.

No, the right-wing fanatics running Israel have become an apartheid regime.
Most Jews are decent people who are opposed to genocide and oppression. But few of those decent people are associated with the Likud or the even more rabid parties such as Otzma Yehudit.
