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.

Another case of criticizing Israel == anti-Semitism
This is getting really old.
Funny part is that he is Jewish and grew up in Israel.
Whose parents survived the Holocaust.
"Never forget."
At least there's some people who properly understood that lesson from our dark history.
I know you don't actually find it funny, but the censorship is very worrying.
"Funny" has a much broader connotation than what you're suggesting. In this case it's funny because the truth doesn't align with what is expressed by his critics.
It's not funny. It's dangerous. Dangerous for Jews like him and for Jews like me.
Funny as in it's a commentary on how so many people equate criticism of Israel to anti-Semitism, like how the person I replied to pointed out. I know it's dangerous, I know Jews around the world are suffering the repercussions of Israel's actions and a lot them are speaking up against it.
I just hate it. Israel has made my life more dangerous than any modern Hitler-lover.
Getting really old and also going to backfire spectacularly. Israel has pretty much completely lost support of younger Americans (can't speak for UK). Once those younger generations age into politically power, we're going to see a major shift.
In Europe i haven't met anyone in my circle of friends and extended circle who doesn't completely hate Israel and zionism. I don't push my views on anyone, especially the younger teen family members, but i was pleasantly surprised to see them saying they were going to an anti israeli protest.
The only people who currently have any support for Israel are boomers and even they are going from "supporting Israel right to exist" to "everyone is in the wrong" stage right now. This is highly anecdotal at this point but i hope we're seeing a shift to acknowledging evil where evil is.
Nah, there is simply too much money involved. And sadly money influences absolutely everything from politics, moral decisions, war warfare, etc.
You mean criticizing Israel = Terrorism
He was arrested over "Terrorism"
Netanyahu has done a lot to help the world see this propaganda game for what it is. Not worth genocide, but it's a slight silver lining. The "criticism is antisemitism" strategy won't work forever for Israel.
Also, I bet you're a programmer.
