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. 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.

Totally. It’s what a reasonable person would do. I’m sure they’re reasonable changes too.
After he finishes bombing Rafah flat, of course. One must focus on priorities in a crisis.
It's just two weeks away.
"Unfortunately the terms of this ceasefire don't include the death of every Palestinian in the world and also a complementary blowjob for me, so we can't accept it."
-Benjamin Netanyahu, probably.
“It’s a shame that Hamas continues to hide behind the lives of Palestinian civilians. Now if they were all dead they couldn’t do that.”
*Netanyahu taps forehead
CNN looks puzzled and wonders what that means; they publish an article titled ’Why all the Palestinian suddenly decided to just die’.
Let's be real. He would only accept a ceasefire if the terms of the ceasefire is he can never go to jail for corruption.
Israel's requirements:
Kill them all
I didn't know all of Israel was from Buenos Aires.
Netanyahu is indeed the type to drop an asteroid on his own city on purpose so he has a reason to go kill bugs.
destroy Hamas's military and governing capabilities
"scuse us while we move some goalposts here ....
and ensure that Gaza does not pose a threat to Israel in the future
And suddenly it's not 'Hamas' that's a threat, but 'Gaza'. More moving goalposts, and revealing Israel's real aim: the elimination of Gaza itself. Except, like the Republicans, who constantly have to create a new threat to 'defend' themselves against, after Gaza it'll be the West Bank. And after that it'll be something else ...
Netanyahu doubts any peace will last, so I think he was looking for a more final solution...
He just needs a little Lebensraum to stretch his legs.
We’re definitely getting Srebrenica Massacre 2.0.
The USA refused to lift the arms embargo on Bosnia to allow it to defend itself because UK and France didn't want a Muslim majority nation in Europe, and Clinton shrugged and said "okay"
Then Pakistan used KSA funds to covertly supply the Bosnians with ATGMs via Turkey air drops which ultimately changed the tide of the war.
Then suddenly the USA spent years harassing the UN to charge the ISI director with breaking the embargo.
The fact that they handled an ongoing genocide of which they had zero interest or risk in with such attitude is why no one takes the USA seriously when it complains about literally any foreign issue.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-Services_Intelligence_activities_in_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina
Clinton said U.S. allies in Europe blocked proposals to adjust or remove the embargo. They justified their opposition on plausible humanitarian grounds, arguing that more arms would only fuel the bloodshed, but privately, said the president, key allies objected that an independent Bosnia would be "unnatural" as the only Muslim nation in Europe. He said they favored the embargo precisely because it locked in Bosnia's disadvantage. [..] When I expressed shock at such cynicism, reminiscent of the blind-eye diplomacy regarding the plight of Europe's Jews during World War II, President Clinton only shrugged. He said President François Mitterrand of France had been especially blunt in saying that Bosnia did not belong, and that British officials also spoke of a painful but realistic restoration of Christian Europe. Against Britain and France, he said, German chancellor Helmut Kohl among others had supported moves to reconsider the United Nations arms embargo, failing in part because Germany did not hold a seat on the U.N. Security Council.
I don’t think people realize how fucked up that war was. It seems to get lumped in with post-Soviet chaos rather than a separate thing that happened because world leaders made specific choices that we need to learn from.
I mean, Europe and the U.S. made awful decisions but the diplomacy to end it also required the U.S. and Europe. Almost nothing about that conflict is a simple story of good vs. evil. And it happened before most people had constant access to news so it was often unclear what was happening until later.
Edit: I’m not defending any country there. I’m just saying it was a fucking mess.
No pesky peace deals are going to get in the way of Netanyahu's genocide.
Oh what a surprise
I wish I was surprised. Netanyahu needs to go.
To jail, for the rest of his life, yes. Not that I'm holding my breath for it though - the international community has demonstrated time and again that genocide is compmetely fine, as long as it's happening far away and not to "our people".
