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.

Yahya Sinwar, the leader of Hamas in Gaza, has been elevated to the top political post in Hamas. (www.nytimes.com)

Hamas announced on Tuesday that Yahya Sinwar, the presumed mastermind of the deadly Oct. 7 attacks, was selected as the next head of the group’s political office, elevating him to the highest-profile political role within Hamas and consolidating his power over the militant group.

He will replace Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed in an explosion last week in Tehran. Hamas and Iran both blamed Israel for the assassination — which took place during the inauguration of the new Iranian president — although Israel has not publicly taken responsibility.

Oh look, the Israelis did that thing that they always do, and ensured the new guy is someone more hardcore than the previous guy. And then they will act all surprised when the next bad thing happens. And when we say "we told you so, wtf did you expect would happen", they will throw a hissy fit.

What are they supposed to do just let rhe 'moderate' guy carry out his plans to kill as many women and children as possible? When your stated goal is to kill all jews in the bloodiest way possible it doesn't really matter what the next guy plans they've already maxed out.

I have no fucking clue man and frankly, I don't give a fuck at this point. Go ask the Israeli political establishment, anything right of Hadash really, what their fucking plan has been all along. They are the ones that have made everything possible to delegitimize, jail, corrupt, murder, slander and demobilize all the actual moderate Palestinians for 30 years now. When Israelis show actual political will for dismantling apartheid and working for actual just peace, then I will start to entertain hypothetical problem solving scenarios for them. Until then, let them play wargames with Hamas and Hezbollah and make the whole point of Israel as a safe haven for Jews even more of a joke than it already is.
