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.

Who cares about them, really?
They're not more important than anyone else on this planet.
Im starting to think that what a lot of people learned from the holocaust wasn't 'never let this happen again', but 'never let this happen to the jews again'. The people of gaza are being wiped out because we, the west, can't hold a Jewish state accountable for their actions, because that might make us nazis in the eyes of morons and their propagandists.
You mean the Israeli state?
The many faces of totalitarianism; we need to discuss this better, or have representatives who can at very least acknowledge that. By the way, none of these people seem to have at hearth the peace of the region. Until than, our hands are tied.
That always happens when you try to teach a crowd a moral lesson.
But, to be frank, there were institutional things learned too, culminating in the UN being created. Too bad it wasn't reformed significantly after decolonization happened, and for the Cold War, and as a result by now it's completely irrelevant. Its rules are being used to justify things opposite to stated when those rules were written.
Idk if you have participated in the us political system much but like there's a lot of Jews
Going against them and potentially being branded anti-Semitic is political suicide
I think we can move past this while fighting actual antisemitism, which may be on the rise for all I know.
Acnshually, jews
Calm down, Kanye.
He's got a point. AIPAC i one of the strongest lobby organization in the US. They make and break politicians all the time.
And they've been very successful in convincing everyone that Israel = Jews; so that any criticism of Israel is defacto antisemitic (nevermind that Palestinians are a Semitic people).
We should be clear that Netanyahu and the far-right fundamentalist Likud party in Israel is the problem.
Putting the star of David on their flag was
propaganda.
If you think AIPAC represents all Jews, you are absolutely an antisemite. No surprise you think Kanye "I like Hitler" West has "got a point".
Criticising the Israel lobby is fine, but maybe don't blame Jews for everything Israel does...
Eight-in-ten U.S. Jews say caring about Israel is an important or essential part of what being Jewish means to them

"Caring about Israel" is a very generic metric, and I bet things have changed a lot since 2021. I know plenty of people who support Israel's right to exist, but also want Bibi imprisoned for life for what he's doing to Palestinians.
Jews are not a monolithic group. If you can't criticize a government without condemning an entire ethnic group, that's your failure.
I can condemn a group of people who are voluntarily a member of a religion (not the ethnic group) while understanding that individuals should be judged as individuals.
Then point the finger at a group that deserves it like Zionists, rather than broadly pointing the finger at Jews. Most Jews, especially in America, are secular.
Odd phrasing in that first bit 💀
