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.

Also the same people who called for a jihad after Israel responded
Many of you will die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
It's more likely Israel is funding hamas to make it easier to wipe out Palestinians. But you're probably deep throating the propaganda by the shovels to ever notice anything out of place.
-
Hamas conveniently launches rockets from schools/hospitals. Israel issues warning to evacuate how nice of them, right?
-
Israel turns schools/hospitals to ground
-
1 less school for education, 1 less hospital for treatment. Pushes people to extremism but why are they hate us? ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ
-
Affected Palestinians get displaced, discouraged, and move away
-
Settlers sweep in like zombies
-
Rinse and repeat * 50 years
How bloody convenient, ain't it? You get to claim they use human shields and civilian infrastructures, and you get to kill civilians with impunity.
Left side strong in this one is.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A mother in Iran, whose son was reportedly killed after being shot repeatedly at close range by security forces, has been sentenced to 13 years in prison by an Iranian court after she demanded justice for her child on social media.
Videos and photos of her son’s body riddled with shotgun pellets went viral on social media during the mass protests sparked by the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman who was arrested by Iran’s “morality police” for not wearing her hijab correctly.
Hours after the news of the sentence was published, Yazdani’s daughter, Mitra Zahedi, shared a post on Instagram that read: “What will happen to my three-year-old brother?
It added: “Hundreds of mothers in Iran have been blocked from pursuing justice for their murdered loved ones while themselves being persecuted for simply raising their voices.”
His father, who had publicly begged for mercy for his son before his execution and called for justice for him and other young protesters on social media, was reportedly arrested in August and is believed to remain in detention.
Speaking on a condition of anonymity, a close relative of Kumar Daroftadeh, a 16-year-old killed by the security forces in October 2022, said: “Mothers are being persecuted for seeking justice for their sons murdered by the regime.
The original article contains 623 words, the summary contains 217 words. Saved 65%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
These people are so brave and I hope I'll live to see the day they can live their lives in freedom and peace.
Indeed.
I still can't understand why they picked up Jihadist over their US like lifestyle back in the 70s
It's very complicated, but I think the jihadist picked them, not the other way around. They were fleeing the country like flies.
I'm going to do some reading about it soon, since it's been a while and everything is hazy.
I'm no way historian but AFAIK Jihadists were exiled at the time but people made (de)revolution so one day you got jeans and bikiny and next day all the covering dark age dresses.
