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.

I thought he was condemning the Rabbi that called for the Genocide of all Palestinian babies and women.

8 march 2024 - Israeli rabbi says ‘kill everyone in Gaza, including babies’

Turns out he is condemning the fundies that say they will emigrate if they get drafted. You can't make this up.

Israeli leaders on Saturday and Sunday slammed the Chief Rabbi of Israel’s threat that ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel “will all move abroad” if the government enacts a compulsory draft of religious Jews into the IDF.

This threat doesn't sound terrible for Israel's future. 🤭

This is the best summary I could come up with:

In a post to X on Saturday night, Minister Benny Gantz, the chair of National Unity, joined Lapid in condemning Yosef’s remark.

Yisrael Beytenu chairman MK Avigdor Liberman also voiced his opposition to the rabbi’s declaration.

Liberman, who has been critical of the government in recent weeks, even going so far as to call on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to step down and for the country to have elections, wrote in a Saturday post on X, “Without duties, there are no rights.

It's a shame that Rabbi Yitzhak Yosef and some other haredim continue to undermine Israel's security and act contrary to Jewish law.”

"Take off your shoes before you speak disparagingly towards the chief rabbi, who expressed a clear and resolute opinion about the tremendous right of Torah scholars who defend the land,” the Sephardic haredi Shas Party declared in a Sunday statement, also alluding to the Hebrew Bible.

“Serving in the IDF is an immense right of a Jew who defends himself in his own land and a great commandment,” the right-wing party said.

The original article contains 458 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 62%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Empty threat is empty.
