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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

Nobody likes being disrespected, who cares if you're an "American police officer". They are not special.
So you're saying nobody can disrespect an American police officer or have their own opinion? If an American police officer gets their feelings hurt, you're saying it's okay to imprison and torture anyone who disrespects them? Hope you never disagree with a police officer and are imprisoned and tortured.
Honestly, your opinions are useless drivel. You aren't famous anyway. What makes you think your opinions aren't going to get you killed?
Of course im not saying its ok, but clearly its asking for problems if you do that. In this case, greta was asking for trouble because its her strategy to win minds and hearts by getting publicity like this. She knew you guys wouldnt ask what she was doing and you would only focus on the Israeli response to what she was doing. :)
Anyway, I guess you dont see any strategy here and just a innocent women being abused... :)
Of course they were expecting problems, as they tried to get to Gaza before, so they knew that they could expect Israeli interference. But the way the Israeli authorities are dealing with this is out of proportion. Like Chaotic Altruist was saying, trying to do a morally right thing and sail to Gaza to bring survival goods, should never result in violence and humiliation.
Of course it shouldnt, but we live in a world where it absolute will give problems. We didnt wake up yesterday and now we are completely surprised the world is what it is today.
This type of conceded, complaisant attitude is why everything is as bad as it is. How about instead of being a keyboard warrior you make yourself useful? Maybe it's people like you who don't deserve this privilege of victim blaming for staying away from anything scary or worth fighting for. The fact you put a smiley face after the phrase "innocent woman being abused" would make anyone who is not a psychopath sick.
The smiley was because you guys dont seem to realize all of this is her strategy, so its funny how you all act like an innocent women is being abused, when that is not what is happening here.
Holy shit, having a strategy and using it is inherently bad? Israel has way more "strategy" and they're getting their way with it. Clearly this isn't about her using "her strategy" and you have a problem with what she's trying to accomplish.
You want to murderer children. You want innocent people to suffer. You are such a degenerate. I hope people treat you the same way when you suffer.
Fuck you are sick.
It does not matter if she goated them or not. There is no situation where the things they are doing are justified.
There is nothing she could have done that would require them to act like they did.
Give me one example what she could have done where beating her up and forcing her to kiss a flag would apropiate responce.
Obviously there is a strategy here.
Israel wants to starve people to death and have everyone else just let it happen.
Greta wants to feed those people and get some news time so others might join in and help.
Israel detained her and are now imprisoning and committing light sexual assault against her.
You also have a motive. You want to protect Israel and question Greta's motives. You are effectively a Zionist with the way you are questioning this. Should other people also be tortured if they try to help those who are starving to death because they deserve it?
You are effectively an Israeli asset. You are supporting the genocide by questioning any opposition to it. There is very little we can do to oppose this and you're helping it. Stop it now.
She is not the first to be treated badly so shut the f up with your dumb apologia
