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!
-
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.

MODERATORS
Insane that this comment is downvoted. There are 1400 dead Israeli civilians and hundreds more still held hostage by Hamas. If they want peace so bad, maybe release the hostages?
Depitie this, Israel responds by bombing civilians. I believe that's the reason for the downvoted and I agree.
They're not intentionally bombing civilians. They even specifically tell civilians where not to be.
That's a big difference between the two adversaries.
I don't really know how naive you have to be to believe that about Israel.
I just don't dive face-first into propaganda and like, read.
Do you dive into UN resolutions against Israel though?
Not generally, no. The UN is, ultimately, a political body.
I'd take the UN more seriously if they took themselves more seriously. Their "Human Rights Council" membership, as an example, is a bad joke.
https://www.un.org/en/ga/75/meetings/elections/hrc.shtml#:~:text=Elections%20and%20Appointments,-Election%20of%20the&text=The%20General%20Assembly%20elected%20the,beginning%20on%201%20January%202021.
I think there is value in the UN, and it's a net positive, but I don't much care about any specific resolutions.
Ah yes the UN stopped mattering the minute it started reporting on Israel's horrendous human rights violation. Suddenly they don't matter as a body. I suppose every human rights organization that has been documenting Israeli crimes is also not good enough?
The UN has never really mattered in any practical political sense. They do great humanitarian work, though, and are a major contributor to the success of developing nations.
They can't prevent wars or stop atrocities though. They need NATO for that, generally.
