- 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.
-
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.

ISIS is as Muslim as the Nazi's were Christian.
Hamas is more comparable to the Jews fighting back against the Nazi's in the Warsaw Ghetto.
I realise there's a thin line between freedom fighters and terrorists but hamas are very clearly the latter given they only seem to inflame tensions and actively profit from the ongoing conflict. Israel (or at least the current Israeli government) are far right borderline fascists committing an active genocide out of some hysterical need to prevent all future incursions from hamas at the detriment of anyone living in the area. The Palestinian people as always remain ongoing victims to the ensuing whims of these two powers.
It is irrelevant. In the West Bank there is no Hamas and Palestinians still get brutally massacared by israel.
The reason it says one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter is not because freedom fighters use the nicest ways to acquire their freedom. And Hamas' goal clearly isn't to exterminate Jewish people worldwide. Unlike groups such as ISIS or israel, Hamas is not interested in expanding their Lebensraum to other countries.
Weird point. Your previous comment very clearly equates hamas with Jewish resistance to nazis which I denied because hamas cares more about exterminating Jews than freeing Palestinians. Also somehow being a terrorist but not trying to spread terrorism is somehow more acceptable to you? My point was hamas are not freedom fighters because their actively profiting from the fight and have a vested interest in continuing it, not at an eventual victory or peaceful resolution.
Hamas has given a deal for a ceasefire on day one.
Hamas is still offering deals for a permanent ceasefire.
Hamas is looking for a peaceful resolution. That is not an opinion. That is a fact.
Israel is not looking for a peaceful resolution because they are Nazis that want to expand their Lebensraum.
Day one after they violated the last cease fire to attack a bunch of festival goers? Hamas is looking for time to plan the next attack. Pretending otherwise is just ignoring history. Israel is full on genocide mode atm but you don't seriously think hamas want a ceasefire so they can de-escalate the conflict and eventually open the door to more diplomacy to eventually reach a 2 state solution that avoids any ongoing suffering. Its easy to ask for peace after you stab someone in the chest. It's hard not to stab them to begin with and seek a peaceful and amicable resolution to existing hostilities.
What ceasefire israel bombed Gaza two weeks before October 7. For three days straight.
The last ceasefire was broken by israel by the way.

Yikes didn't realize breaking a ceasefire to rape, pillage and kill a lot of civilians, including entire family and babies (one through being baked alive) on their holy day was comparable to that.
I feel like this is why the left struggle so hard to rally support. When they unironically call Hamas a freedom fighter group. Literally anyone is free to read up on the group. They are a terrorist group through and through.
And yes religion had a huge influence on them. Just like they do on Israelis.
They, are Muslim. ISIS is Muslim. Israel is a Jewish state ran by Jews. It's religious crap causing this entire conflict. Some may be more extreme then others but let's not pretend religion has 0 to do with this conflict.
Israel was formed because Jews were persecuted for being Jewish. They chose Israel for religious and historical reasons.
Man so hardstuck on Hasbara he's still repeating the baby in oven claim debunked multiple months ago
Whatever man you can keep defending a terrorist organization.
And it was not debunked. And after some googling not really proven to be true either. Just a dead Israeli baby found with possible oven burn marks.
But there are plenty of other instances on they day of babies being slaughtered that we do know exists and other fucked up inhumane shit.
And people like you are the worst. Your complete denial of Hamas atrocities forced people like me to be backed into a corner appearing to defend Israel, when I don't really want to be defending them either.
Maybe don’t use Israeli propaganda points?
Fuck hummus and fuck Israel
