Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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!
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.

Around 400 Palestinians seeking aid have been shot dead by the Israelis in the last two weeks since the so-called “flour massacre” in late February, when 112 people were killed and some 760 injured in Gaza city.
This is evil. There is no excuse and the world should never forgive them.
Israel saw Bidens response of trying to give them 14 Billion in weapons after they did the flour massacre, and the refusal to call it a war crime.
So israel decided they should keep shooting people trying to get food.
It's like with the hospitals. First hospital was a huge scandal and the whole (contrived) debate about who did it and after that they continued to attack every god damn hospital in Gaza.
First time: "omg no we would never"
Second, third, fourth, nth: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It wasn't even the first time, not only had Israel shelled hospitals prior (both during this war and in previous wars) they also shelled Al-Shifa days prior. It was simply the one instance where it wasn't obvious what was responsible for the explosion. The investigation for that hospital is still ongoing, meanwhile Israel has targeted nearly every other hospital still in operation.
Israel is evil.
Zionists are Nazis.
Treat them accordingly.
