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.
-
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.

I believe he was answering this. Are we not allowed to say Hamas is bad?
Didn’t you hear?
They are actually freedom fighters and are noble! /s
Let’s just ignore how they are a misogynistic, homophobic, anti-trans, fascist, far-right extremist group.
Israel is committing genocide. That makes Israel worse
Not even a close call
I mean, Hamas was literally founded with the goal of genocide, but cool story.
Understanding Hamas’s Genocidal Ideology - The Atlantic
Israel is committing genocide today. Hamas has never committed genocide. That means Israel is worse.
Not a close call
What would you call the systematic and indiscriminate killing of Israeli civilians by Hamas for the past several decades?
Their violence looks a lot like attempted genocide, especially when Hamas has stated that as their intention.
Israel is currently committing a genocide
Israel has killed drastically more Palestinians over the past several decades.
Hamas has never committed genocide. Palestinians have never committed genocide. Israel is currently committing genocide.
Therefore, Israel is clearly worse
The Palestinians’ violence looks a lot like “the struggle of peoples for their independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial domination, apartheid and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle”.

Furthermore, As an Occupier, Israel Has No Right to “Self-Defense”
Sure. How does that add to the topic at hand?
