-
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.
-
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.

Yep, it'll keep popping up, like the beheaded babies story. Not sure why they feel the need to lie like that, the stuff that Hamas had been confirmed to have done was bad enough.
You know why they feel the need to lie like that: to justify their genocide of the Palestinian people. This is what Zionists always wanted, now they just have a pretense.
Just like the hospital strike the was falsely blamed at Israel with an inflated death count. No amount of redactions has stopped people from still claiming that as the truth.
And it should be noted that their retraction statement doesn't even mention or detail what the article is in question or what it was about. So still trying to hide their failures even to the end.
Thank goodness Twitter still has Community Notes by users (for now, since Elon wants it removed because it keeps correcting his lies).
Even if one of the 15000 killed Palestinians was a doll, doesn't change the fact that Israel response is completely disproportionate as it's targeting civilians instead of the terrorists
Maybe it is a doll
... that belonged to a dead child.
Yeah, I'm not trusting what the JP puts out, just like I'm not trusting aljazerra right now.
Both have a serious bias and cannot be trusted without vetting other sources.
edit: oh
Aljazeera has been very factual in the conflict. Probably the most factual out of any English-speaking news source since all the others are too afraid to call out real genocide and terrorism and their articles are clouded with double standard wording.
Get out of here with your "both sides" nonsense.
It should be noted that there is Al-Jazeera English, which is credible and good, and then Al-Jazeera which... well, isn't so much. They are two different companies run by two different sets of people, basically. They do not run the same articles generally. Similarly, American mainstream media reporting is generally pretty accurate about stuff in other parts of the world (when it's not a war article) but when reporting about things here it can get murky.
Al Jazeera is infinitely more trustworthy. It's also the least sanitised news source.
