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.

Hamas is the product of the policies of Israel, not just the Occupation itself but even actual funding given by Bibi to Hamas.
The "problem" is not the "leaders of Hamas", the problem are the near-Nazi Fascists leading Israel and their policity towards the Palestinian people for the "crime" of having been born in that land - if there was no Hamas there would be something else because it's Israeli naked racism and Israelis voting for Fascists that is the disease, whilst Hamas is but a symptom.
That you claim that the "problem" is Hamas can only be attributed to 2 things:
And, by the way, the exact same logic applies when the words you chose to parrot are originally from "Lord" Cammeron, he who directly led to Brexit because of being a half-witted born-with-a-golden-spoon-up-his-arse priviledged wanker and numb-numb-nationalist. In fact wheelling out the slimy, sleazy ex-PM who got rewarded-for-service with a Lordship for putting the far-right nutters of his party in Power and getting the UK to leave the EU is a bloody insult to anybody who knows British politics from the inside. Then again, this is The Guardian, which is little more than the voice of the upper middle class and the rich (as noticeable because almost all of it's journalists went to exclusive and expensive private schools and it's board is full of people with Titles given by the Royals (the greatest endorsment from the Old Wealth you can get in that country).
I mean, both The Guardian and this wanker (along with the rest of his party) are guilty of having accused a Jewish Holocaust Survivor of being anti-semite as part of an attempt (that succeeded, I might add) at overthrowing the one true leftwinger elected as leader of the Labour in the last 3 decades: basically they accused said Labour leader - Corbyn - of being anti-semite because he sat on a panel in a conference where somebody compared the actions of Israel to those of the Nazis only (and "curiously" they failed to mention that) the person who did said that was a Jewish Holocaust Survivor.
So yeah, just about anything coming out of the dominant political parties and media in the UK is going to be pro-Israel Propaganda, only done with very subtle, very sleazy twists (what many think is posh) learned in the very expensive and very exclusive boarding schools attended by the children of the British upper classes, such as Cammeron (and most of the Guardian's board) at that age.
TLDR lol gottem
I just pulled a quote from this article and you decided to go full hexbear incognito on me.
You think choosing a specific quote from a pretty double-faced interview of a pretty sleazy guy doing his posh-twat "I understand your concerns and here's a thousand reasons why you're wrong and I'm right" routine (same as he and all like him have done since they learned it at those posh expensive boarding schools I mentioned), and parroting it does not reflect your own biases and preferences???!
Damn, you're even dumber than I thought, which has gotta be some kind of record...
Firstly, you are rude AF. I am not required to give a picture of every fucking angle just because someone might have a different opinion. I picked a line from the article and that's it.
Secondly, I hope you respond to this message because I won't read it. Make it longer than before so maybe you can publish your findings. Only then Lord Cameron would see it and change his mind.
Oh, man, a genuine, pure and unadulterated, kettle calling the pot black, right here on Lemmy.
Must be Wednesday.
