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 needs to go after bad actors among their ranks, and if they're unwilling I want the US to do more sanctions on them. This is unacceptable, tacit approval of such violence against children only serves Hamas.
If they don't stop killing kids, the US should make killing kids a bit more expensive for them!
The whole world needs to condemn the Israeli government....but they won't
There's no evidence presented in this article this was perpetrated by the Israeli government and not just some soldiers.
Just because the killing wasn't explicitly ordered by the Israeli government? Despite them being there because of the government? Despite targeting civilians being a recurring theme of this invasion?
Until Israel starts putting soldiers on trial, these are government-sponsored murders
You need to watch some testimonies by repenting Israeli occupation forces. It is pretty much cultural at this point

When US soldiers killed women and children in Vietnam, that WAS the US government. Same thing here
True, but the following paragraphs from the article are telling ...
Right, that's the tacit approval I mentioned in my original comment, they need to prosecute Israeli soldiers and civilians who break the law and change that perception.
How long until we move from "a few bad actors" to "they were just following orders"
The bad actors are in charge and their goal is genocide. It's just a bit naive to suggest they will 'go after' their own supporters carrying out their policy aims.
