World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

In fact, if memory serves, Haaretz is the biggest newspaper in Israel other than tabloids and the de facto state media rag Times of Israel and as such one of if not THE most reliable source from inside of Israel.
Israelis supporting what their state is now like how this is too - they can allow such newspapers and TV channels and civilized people to exist and talk and protest, thus getting the benefit of pretending that it's a pluralist western democratic state.
Did you miss how the Israeli government has been actively trying to censor Haaretz since they started doing proper journalism on what's going on in Gaza? There was even a political attempt to get them shut down.
There are such "attempts" all the time. Maybe they are a bit more material now, but in general this is very soft.
I think I know what you mean and you're partly right: Haaretz is still an Israeli paper and as such has a pro-Israel bias.
It's also a left-leaning paper, though, so it's against genocide and bigotry and extremely critical and always has been of the fascist Netanyahu government and the apartheid system they've created.
Times of Israel is analogous to the NY Compost, Haaretz is closer to something like The Intercept.
I didn't mean that, though this is true (in the sense that they sometimes cry thief where there is murder and murder where there is massacre).
I meant that for them to be a problem for that political system they have to pass a certain threshold of power and they don't do that, while for them to be a benefit for it there are no thresholds.
A bit like Russia (EDIT:...n opposition) in 2007.
They don't. You're confusing them with the likes of ToI and Jerusalem Post.
Yeah they do. For all the undemocratic shit, Israel still has a certain degree of press freedom.
Haaretz are a constant thorn in the side of the government and the government constantly complain about them, but they couldn't significantly censor them, let alone shut them down, without sparking widespread riots in the streets.
I was trying to say that this press freedom impedes them (the government) insufficiently to prevent them from doing what they want the most, but the fact of it still existing is very actively used by Israeli propaganda.
There are plenty of people involved, some of the baddies may consider them what you said and some may think what I described. Probably more of the former.
