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.

But do you condemn Hamas?®
Most people don't support war crimes.
But, at the moment, it's war crimes vs. bigger war crimes. The question is, is the perpetrator of war crimes willing to stop war crimes when it's the only conceivable leverage to stop bigger war crimes? Big war crimes likely doesn't give a fuuuuuck about the little war crimes though - they literally killed the hostages in several situations. They are just pitching a tent because it's an excuse for them to do even bigger war crimes.
See condemning Hamas is a joke to you. I see people cosplaying as Hamas as Palestine protests. Cosplaying as genocidal maniacs.
Condemning Hamas would have been the smart move for the Palestinian movement. But it's too dominated by hatred to make smart moves. Which is why it's only the young and naive that support it.
I can't take you seriously.
First, Israel has committed war crimes against Palestinians for decades. When nobody plays by the rules there is no point in quoting the rules.
Very few people condone killing civilians or taking hostages. Most people support the liberation of the Palestinian people and peace.
Only the naive think that the situation is anywhere near as cut and dry as you seem to imply it is. And only the gullible think any fraction of the population worth mentioning are cosplaying as or celebrating the actions of Hamas.
This isn't being called out, people just looking the other way.
A lot of people will say Netanyahu is a horrible leader. And in all likelihood he'll be gone in the next election. Nobody is willing to call out Hamas, or any Palestinian leadership. So Palestinians will always be stuck with bad leaders. It's why this conflict was inevitable. Hamas would never be removed by Palestinians, they'd be stuck with them forever if it weren't for this current action. Too much support from naive people.
Naive and gullible, like I said. Or, alternatively, just a disgusting person willfully attempting to spread disinformation.
