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.

MODERATORS
The wise wait until they're out of the country to criticize a fascist regime, and even then they watch their backs.
This isn't Russia, criticising the government publicly is still possible there.
The fear of reprisal in Israel is not from the government alone, but from a fascistic society. Recall the Arab Israeli girl who was suspended from school for showing sympathy with Gazan children, then was met with a crowd of her peers chanting "we don't want Arabs in our school" on return.
It’s kinda not, though.
Grow up. Zios imprison people who refuse to serve in the genocide. Then they face attacks, death threats, etc. People who are actually religious jews are regularly attacked by zios I know a few decent people from "israel" who've had to flee because it's a fascist death cult against both jews and palestinians and the wider region.
edit: And it's worth emphasizing that palestinians have no rights. Their land has been stolen. They're not even allowed to fly their flag. They can't collect rainwater. They had a huge peaceful protest several years ago and zio snipers killed hundreds of people... Plus the ongoing genocide.
Even before the war, every week there were huge protests in Tel Aviv against the extremist government. Now they just have another thing to protest over - the hostages.
If in the next election Bibi will stay, then I guess a truly loud and large departure will happen.
Yeah but they're not exactly protesting the gaza genocide, or even the war, just the government. Another government could do the same things to the gazans and no one (except for a tiny minority that do it now) would bat an eye.
Maybe we nonbelievers should have our own crusade for truth.

Never share information with anyone who is religious about anything pertaining to science. Let's see how long they last without technology.
-
Visit their house every Saturday to tell them about the great stuff they are missing out on...but no specifics, if they want that, they go to school which is the church of science.
Slowly but surely, religious cults who would like to go to war would only have sticks and stones at their disposal.
