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.

Stealing houses and lands
How people still thinking a two state solution is possible is beyond me. All the western world would start condemning palestinians if the two state solution will result the mass displacement of those illegal settlers
Yep most "Two state" proposals are just a bunch of bantustans surrounded by Israeli military checkpoints and mention things like allowing Israel essentially unlimited power to invade these enclaves for "security concerns" just a complete joke of a proposal.
Oslo was from the outset a scam to silence the Palestinian resistance while entrenching land grabs and creating a puppet regime called the Palestinian Authority to subcontract the management of colonialism.
Well said
There shouldn't be a need for a two state solution in the first place, Israel was created in 1948 as a response to the Holocaust under the guise of the need for a "Zionist State" in response to the horrors of the Holocaust, when in reality it was just a power play to insert a friendly puppet government to act as a seat of power to exert influence over the middle east using the Jewish people as a scapegoat to call any westerners who opposed it "antisemitic".
Lebensraum
What Israel is doing is among the most heartbreaking things I have ever witnessed—not only because of the actions themselves, but because of the world’s response. From now on, no one will be able to speak of an international order based on law, of mutual respect between states, or of universal principles without a deep sense of hypocrisy. Only the rule of the strongest seems to matter, and this makes it painfully clear. Israel does not act with any right—nor does it even pretend to—it simply acts with power, and the world appears content to look the other way. The level of cynicism this will leave in anyone with eyes to see and a conscience to feel is truly terrifying.
Those of us whose ancestors were on The Trail of Tears have known this for a long time.
In fairness, the international rules based order was a result of World War 2, despite it being generally a farce.
From now on, no one will be able to speak of an international order based on law, of mutual respect between states, or of universal principles without a deep sense of hypocrisy.
Always has been; the West is simply waking up to it. There's a reason most people convicted by the ICC are African.
The west ended occupation of orher countries but never abondonned the ideology behind it. The west never respected their own rules when it come to other countries
I think an international order based on law, or at least with less hypocrisy, is still possible.
But for that, the law has to be backed by the majority of players, who can together make big enough a fist against the largest or smallest.
So, if Israel does not bend, we will have to step in.
Fucking ghouls. How can they say they love their family but also do this.
These fuckers aren't even pretending to be human.
The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. When the time comes to dismantle the Jewish character of Israel to establish the successor post-apartheid democratic "State of Israel and Palestine", I hope the zionists remember that it was they who killed the Two State Solution.
Settlement in Mars and the Moon not on top of Palestinians farms and villages... These called illegal and land grab
They should really start using the word "colonies".
Israel needs its lebensraum.
Israel is a "democratic" Nazi country.
