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.

Israel has no idea how much they have destroyed their credibility for an entire generation.
I used to read articles about Middle East issues and think that things I was reading in Al Jazeera or similar publications were a little biased. For the most part I used to think that Israel was at least being a good faith actor in their decision making.
Now, I literally do not trust anything that is published in Israel; nor anything that the Israeli government claims is true or said has happened.
If Israeli Times or IdF or Israeli government said that the sky was blue, I would literally go outside to double check, because obviously something weird is going on and the sky is no longer blue.
I also have learned to meet the things Biden says with skepticism. Until Biden takes concrete action to punish Israel or stop the genocide, he will not have my vote. Nor millions of votes from other democrats and Americans whose families are affected by this genocide. A whole generation of young people have had the curtains pulled back. Thank goodness.
Israel and the United States have been lying this whole time. Forcing an apartheid occupation for half a century.
Al Jazeera has long been the best source for news on anything happening in the Middle East (aside from Qatar since that is who funds them). Thr sad truth if the matter is that Israel has been ethnically cleansing Palestine for the past 70 years and Western media has finally decided they can't whitewash it anymore.
It's pretty stark how much the press in pretty much every Western country has been carrying water for Israel and Ukraine as well.
I’m not going to discuss Ukraine in this context. The two are not the same.
Hmm suit yourself.
It's a funny example of Gell-Mann amnesia at play I suppose.
Just waiting for that Russian military with low morale and hollowed out by corruption to bring us that imminent victory in Ukraine we've been promised any day now for the past two years. Keep believing in victory citizen, it's right around the corner!
Nah. I just disagree with the tactics being used in North Sudan as well as the gangs in Haiti.
what the heck are you blabbering about this is a post about IDF and Israel and you keep going on about Ukraine.
Make a post about comparing Ukraine and Gaza, I don’t care. But arguing with me about Ukraine here doesn’t make any sense.
I guess my original point was just agreeing with you on your main point. I figured I was supporting your position by pointing out the media dishonesty extended farther than just Israeli publications. The Ukraine point was a throwaway of another example I thought was fairly straightforward, but whatever, it's cool, we don't need to continue this conversation.
Ok I see I guess I missed your point lol
Cool. Thanks for fucking over trans people in the United States with your non-vote of moral superiority. We'll go ahead and reap those consequences for you. At least the other guy will do right by Gaza I'm sure since that is the priority here.
Biden is doing just as much to protect trans people as he is gazans I'm not sure what your point is there tbh
No problem.
Just as an FYI, russia likes to give its hacking groups cutesy bear names, like "cozy" bear and "fancy" bear.
OPs name is likely a coincidence, but it could also be some russian enjoying themselves in the open. Dont take everything you read on social media at face value.
Heck yea dude, I’m a dang bad azz hacker.
I do it for the lulz
But fyi, if you think I really am a Russian hacker.:.. you literally don’t know what the heck you are talking about and you are spouting nonsense
Dancing bear is porn
Woah now, I’m a Grateful Dead dancing bear lol
What is dancing bear porno I’m afraid to look it up
Apologies! Not a lot of deadheads in the wild these days!
Dude wearing a bear head dancing around a fake bachelorette party doing porn things
I may need to do some research 👀
See, now we have really gotten to the bottom of the web of deceit.
Yeah lol, vote for the Orange Man. The GOP has such a strong track record of caring about brown people.
Or maybe take your Republican't psyop drivel somewhere else you shill.
So you are saying that there is no difference between Biden and Trump on Gaza. So if it is something you care about then there is no point in voting for either.
Criticism of Biden is not an endorsement of Trump.
No.
I am saying if Biden doesn’t change his policy by taking direct action neither, I, nor millions of other Americans, will vote for him.
However that makes you feel. I don’t care. Unless Biden changes his policy with actions, he will lose the election.
I agree. The person i replied to seems to think that any criticism of Biden is an endorsement of Trump. The only people who seem to want "mild" conservative policy are Democrats. No conservative voters are going to vote for a center-right (by American standards) Democrat over a Republican. Democrats need to offer an actual alternative, nit just toned down Republican talking points.
Biden should absolutely be criticised for the Palestine genocide and other things as needed. But that's not what you did. You said you'd not vote for him which effectively supports Trump. If Trump had shown any indication that he'd handle this (or any important) issue any better, then sure, that could make sense. But this is just cutting everyone's nose off to spite your face.
It’s what has worked for bidens whole career though to be honest
Has it? He was a senator for Decades because DuPont backed him, and he was Obama's VP pick because he was from Pennsylvania originally. He ate absolute shit every time he ran in the Democratic presidental primary until 2020 where he coasted on Trump being the worst president in 100 years and his popularity as Obama's VP.
I just mean (for bidens whole career) the democrats saying you have to vote for us because the other side is ten times worse.
It’s just that in this case the same old rhetoric shows the absolute disaster this idea is…. Vote for Biden because genocide is better than super sized genocide that Trump would bring
Also I am fairly certain Biden is from Delaware not Pennsylvania and Delaware is known for having awesome corporate sponsors, but that’s without me looking it up
So what you're saying is that the current situation in Gaza shouldn't change who you vote for in November?
I'm saying that Biden is going to need to do something about the situation if he wants to win. People don't owe him their vote
This is how Trump won last time. I know you can't help yourself but please, just try to say nothing at all because this arrogant drivel is exactly why the Dems have trouble turning out their vote.
> vote for the Orange Man
that's not what they said
But by not voting for Biden they enable his opponent...
Maybe if Biden cares about democracy, he'd do the things that voters want?
Too bad. Don’t like it? Change your policy.
brutal
Suck it up, buttercup
