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.

Yeah I'm not sure what "last" is supposed to mean here because it won't do anything to begin with.
No, the goal is extermination and this is expressly converse to that goal.
Even George Bush Jr. understood the concept of "you break it, you bought it." It is clear that Netanyahu sent troops into Gaza with no consideration for either 1) How basic needs like food, water and shelter would be provided to impacted civilians, or 2) What system of leadership would maintain order in Gaza following the war.
War crimes are war crimes whether they are by design or by incompetence. Israelis who are protesting the war rightly point out that this is not making Israel any safer, nor leading to the release of hostages, nor the return of the more than 100,000 internally displaced Israelis.
That's actually a relatively kind interpretation of Netanyahu's war. The government acknowledged it had received and was considering a proposal by former generals to use starvation to clear northern Gaza.
Israel has announced its intent to starve Gaza on 09. October 2023.
They have only relented slightly when they felt they went too fast for the western allies to ease into the concept. They have reiterated their intent multiple times since, including a minister stating that Israel would starve all 2 million people in Gaza to death, but the west wouldnt let it.
Still we dont see any substantial aid. If you need 500 trucks a day to maintain the most basic needs of people, sending in 50 trucks still means worsening the situation and depriving 90% of the people their needs.
Even the US demanded 350 trucks a day are still below the necessar minimum, so still intended at making things unlivable in the long run.
it's so bizarre that the world's uncontested super power is reduced to using sternly worded letter to the manager like some basic karen.
i get that this letter is intended to prove that the administration is taking efforts to end the genocide; but it makes me wonder about the world views of the people in the administration who somehow aren't aware that sternly-worded-letters are so laughably silly in this day and age that they're a meme.
It's been a year of utter atrocities, I suppose it was time to finally do something about it. /s
Its like ~~gentle~~ passive parenting with 0 proffesional assistance when your kid has conduct disorder (pediatric precursor to antisocial personality, the newer, updated version of psychopathy). "Can you please put the knife down sweetie? Knives make people sad!"
Good thing it's stern. I don't think they'll stop otherwise.
So happy the US managed to use its superpowers for good, for a change..
