A community for discussing events around the World
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! 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.

Something other than send more bombs to a unapologetic and obvious genocider.
i suggest sending thoughts and maybe something else
They don't need prayers since they are at the center of the culture who invented them.
Edit: /s
Whoops forgot people here are too stupid to detect sarcasm, so I edited my comment to reflect this.
Oh no the liars were caught lying.
Pretty much everyone already knew it was the case as soon as they heard about it. They are literally killing people indiscriminately.
Calling them liars is accrate, but kind of buries the brazenly genocidal lede.
Everyone knows this. Israelis are on a genocidal rampage. They’re targeting women and children, raping to death, using attack dogs, disease, starvation. I don’t think it’s hyperbole to say they’re as bad as Nazis.
They’re not going to stop with the Palestinians either. Once they’re done genociding the Palestinians they’re going to come after the rest of the world unless we stop them.
They have nukes too. It's sickening that the USA, UK, Germany, Canada, etc. are pouring money and weapons into a regime of actively genocidal fascists with nukes, and fighting anyone who questions this.
Nope on being an hyperbole. Netanyahu's picture fits very squarely next to Hitler and Stalin. The whole demeanor is very similar. Not a single humane feeling goes through that man's heart, you can see it in his eyes. He's one of the monsters of our time.
Is anyone surprised?
Israel is a terrorist state. No different than Russia.
