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.

That's not fair. Russia doesn't back Hamas or Hezbollah. They back Iran and Syria, who back Hamas and Hezbollah.
They literally had Hamas leaders flying to Moscow multiple times last year and this year.
They also had meetings with Hezbollah in the past.
At this point I would be extremely surpassed if they weren't involved in this attack.
Woosh
Hamas leaders flying to Moscow
But Hamas leaders first had flown to USA, then to UK and France. Then Hezbollah did the same, in the same order
So are you saying the organizations that are officially labeled as terrorist organizations were invited to white house? Can you provide source they did that after being designated as such?
Russia could offer Palestinian refugees safe haven.
I’m surprised he hasn’t already offered to ship them to the Ukrainian front lines.
Russia, the historic safe haven for Muslims.
They could create an autonomous oblast in the Russian far east for them...
Putin had them all booked for a Crimean riverboat cruise but they abandoned Sevastopol a week early... no more boats to bring them over
He could start by condemning Hamas, but apparently that's too much to ask. Too weak to get away with annoying Iran, apparently.
I didn't know we could do hashtags. Wow.
You've just proven that you youself very much give a fuck what Putin thinks. Aren't you his promoter?
Just when you though he had already doomed Russia enough. Ok broski. Go ahead. Get entangled in the middle east AGAIN like the foreign imperialist meddler you always have been and still are. Imperialism goes to the middle east to die. It happens at enormous and tragic human cost as indigenous peoples suffer even more for trying to extricate, eliminate, and expel invaders, but far be it from anyone else to intervene because the rest of the world SHOULD have learned its lesson by now - getting involved there is never NOT a massive failure. The smartest thing to do is to stay the fuck out of it and leave the middle east alone. Then again, no one with a shred of competence actually expects Putin to be smart; he pays OTHER people to do that (and then has them defenestrated when he doesn't hear what he wants to). Anyway, you know how it goes: never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.
Ignoring the fact that he is not really a role model and a war criminal, he has a right in this particular case.
What we have is a huge problem that no one wants to solve. And bombing the shit out of Palestine would only radicalize its population.
By the end of this conflict the number of civilian casualties would be much bigger and a lot of people on both sides would get pushed more to the right.
I can imagine that hate crimes on racial and religious ground would intensify greatly in the months after, and finding a solution and a path for reconciliation to become even more illusory.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Putin's spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, said the Kremlin was in touch with both warring sides and would seek to play a role in resolving the conflict, but did not specify how.
Putin took the opportunity, during talks with visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, to blame the sharp escalation on years of U.S. policy in the region.
Putin said Washington had sought to "monopolise" efforts at forging peace, and accused it of failing to seek workable compromises.
A Kremlin statement said Putin and Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan deplored the "catastrophic rise in the deaths among civilians".
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called for a rapid cease fire in a conversation with his Iranian opposite number, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
"But nevertheless we intend to keep making efforts and play our role in terms of providing assistance to seek ways to a settlement," he said.
