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.

Eerily similar language being deployed...
I want to announce that on the beginning of Easter I will be president of the United States unless israel disbands.
I have set a deadline in advance which means I am justified and correct.
So sad how they almost put an end to this bloodbath back in the 90s but nationalism and propaganda had to ruin it all and now it’s even worse than it ever was before (not that before was any better)
It’s so horrific when ppl are demanding a ceasefire cuz this monstrosity, yet the UN and our govs couldn’t really care less cuz it’s not a first world country, being allies with Israel and capitalism as a whole. Makes a lot of ppl feel so powerless over this esp when countries like Ukraine are going through similar yet, are not willing to support the Palestinians over their struggles.
Just an awful and tragic situation tbh.
Just a really horrid situation. Israel has become its own Golem. Created to secure and defend an oppressed Jewish people, but then gone mad with its own bloodlust and violence and going on a murderous rampage. We just have to see if, like in the legend, anyone is able to stop it.
Israel has become its own Golem.
Always has been.
We just need like 10 trumpets yeah?
It's a ground rock type so just hit it with a hose
I think you can destroy the symbol on the head too
Hard to believe there are still people out there saying this is justified...
Whike it's true that Hamas are by no means the good guys, Israel's response to the Hamas attacks is to literally pull a genocide by a different name.
What else do you call straight up bombing buildings and hospitals full of innocent people; sending out kill squads into the streets; destroying any and all infrastructure required to grow and preserve food, and to get potable water; and denying your victims any and all humanitarian aid. Even without the quotes from Netanyahu, Israel's actions say more than their words ever could.
Total War.
The term was coined by a general during the American Civil War and has been defined as "A war that is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded."
Hamas was never anything but an excuse to get this rolling.
Is that different name ethnic cleansing? Forced migration? Holodomor? Nakba?
by a different name
It's literally just genocide, cut and dry. (I do understand your point, just emphasizing my view).
Some kind of reaction was Legitimate, because the attack in Oct were terrible, but Israel went too far, and we’re way past equivalent response
It should be pointed out that Israel is clearly NOT doing this in response to Oct 7th. Hamas was clearly responsible for Oct 7th, and Israel is clearly not attempting to retaliate against Hamas; bombing a building on the off chance that your enemy is within it isn't a counterattack, it's just terrorism, and repeating that action on the scale that Israel is repeating it is not a war, it's genocide.
No you don’t understand, hummus was in the Belgian building
Well, that's not ominous phrasing at all.
When somebody shows you who they are, believe them the first time.
Total victory sounds like a final solution.
Totalen Krieg
Bibi, the IDF and zionists are so far down the rabbit hole they can't see the similarities.
On another note I just rewatched Welcome to Sarajevo. It was like watching video of Gaza. :(
"Don't, don't, don't live under this dream that the West is going to come in and sort this problem out. Don't dream dreams."
Nothing has changed. I doubt it ever will.
A final solution to the Hamas problem, what could go wrong?
Plenty of Israeli government members talk about the "Palestinian problem", not the "Hamas problem".
It's quite consistent with how they say palestinians are "violent" and "human animals", which is the normal way racists look at other etnicities: as adversaries, all the same, bad and inferior, because of their race, all to blame for any bad actions of other people from the same etnicity.
The violence against Palestinians is as it is because of the profound racism that has been cultivated in Israel to justify the stealing of Palestinian land and all manner of inhuman actions against Palestinians to suppress their revolt against it: it's not seen as inhuman when people believe the victims are all the same, all enemies and all "animals".
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Retired general Benny Gantz, part of Netanyahu’s three-member War Cabinet, represents an influential voice but not the final word on what might lie ahead.
As cease-fire negotiations struggle after signs of progress in recent weeks, Netanyahu has called demands by Gaza’s ruling Hamas militant group “delusional.”
But Netanyahu opposes Palestinian statehood, which the U.S. calls a key element in a broader vision for normalization of relations between Israel and regional heavyweight Saudi Arabia.
The suggested timing for the offensive came as the World Health Organization chief said southern Gaza’s main medical center, Nasser Hospital, “is not functional anymore” after Israeli forces raided it in Khan Younis last week.
In Gaza City, which suffered widespread destruction early in the war, an airstrike flattened a home, killing seven people, including three women, according to relative Sayed al-Afifi.
The U.S. Central Command said it conducted five self-defense strikes Saturday against cruise missiles and drones in area of Yemen controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebel group.
