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.

The U.S. Is Giving Israel Permission for War Crimes (nymag.com)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

The article accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in its conflict with Hamas, focusing on a siege on Gaza, airstrikes harming civilians, and evacuation orders. It criticizes the U.S. for not condemning Israel's actions and emphasizes the need for diplomatic solutions. The piece argues that Israel's approach could backfire politically and suggests that there's no military solution to the conflict. It calls for the U.S. to exercise influence to deter such actions, asserting it's in the interests of both the U.S. and Israel to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.

You blame every Palestinian death on Israel? Seriously? Maybe condem them for the war of 48, but that was 80 years ago, and it was started by Palestinians (and other arab nations who were just racist towards jews) but people in Palestine don't live miserable lives purely because of israel. They have sky high poverty, dysfunctional leadership, an education system focused on murdering your neighbours. What will come out of a people wanting to just rebel against everyone? They rebelled in Jordan, they rebelled in Egypt, they rebelled in Lebanon, and they rebel in Israel. What this people need is a country to take them in, not trying to build another failed country in the middle east (whilst killing/exiling 7 million people in the process, as they oh so desire). Israel would never think of kicking out Palestinians from gaza/west bank if they developed themselves instead of focusing on death. They don't want this headache of terrorist neighbours. Two states isn't and wasn't EVER an option in the eyes of Palestinians. But the jews DO need a state. They're prosecuted all over the world, and without a country to defend them, things like the Holocaust happen. The situation got to this degree because of both parties involved. Palestinians who are head against the wall only wanting death, and Israel who focuses solely on defending themselves, with little regard on how civillians on the other side are living. Of course that with conditions as bad as those terrorists will spawn, but that's not on Israel to blame - that's on the palestinian leadership. Israel faulted with not trying to give Palestinians proper leadership that'll advance them out of poverty and terror. And I failed to understand your native Americans comparison. The natives are Palestinians, so yeah Israel grabs a gun and fight back. It's their home for 80 years, of course they'll fight for it. It's common sense. They're not invaders from outside, every Israeli fighting now was born there.
