A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

We just want to exterminate the people of Gaza and force the survivors out to Somalia or wherever and then woops a million fanatical Zionists move in
Bullshit. Actions speak louder than words.
Exactly. On the surface it sounds like they're being somewhat reasonable, but the reality of what they do when they're in there is likely going to be different.
"Oops, we accidentally killed them all. I guess there's no one left to govern, so we may as well have the land now."
Nobody believe hitler 2
Completely agree. He’s wanted Gaza and the West Bank since day 1.
Like golan height occupation was supposed to be temporary. Right? Right? But know isral say it's part of israel
I assume he's also about to make me a irresistible offer for a cheap bridge that just so happens to be up for grabs. Totally legit.
Being the governing body means having responsibilities towards the population. They want to erase the population, obviously they don’t want to be in control when that happens!
And yet there are multiple "businesses" selling Palestinian land to Israeli settlers. I don't know why you would bomb hospitals and raze people's homes and workplaces unless you intended to kill/forcibly displace everyone currently living there and redevelop for your own purposes.
Actually that's a good business idea for some passive income. Some google maps Screenshots, a bit of translated text and you too can build a passive income scamming criminals.
Ah so he didn't like the existing government in Palestine and runs a war of invasion just to install a sock puppet regime in that region.
NGL that's just as unreasonable as what we all think he is doing. There's nothing noble about killing civilians.
There’s nothing noble about killing civilians.
then you should talk to the current government (hamas) and its supporters (palestinians) :)
Currently Israel is invading Gaza and killing Palestinians in droves. At this point there is one place where an immense amount of war crimes are committed, and it's Gaza, and the perpetrators are overwhelmingly Israel soldiers and leaders.
Sure we can have a nuanced discussion, but currently the situation is pretty one-sided, so arguing about nuance is misplaced.
There's a vast amount of false equivalency and whataboutism in your comment and I really hope you are self-aware how dismissive this makes you sound.
Currently Israel is invading Gaza and killing Palestinians in droves
yes after Gaza invaded Israel killing 1000 civilians (including a bunch of 20 year olds at a peace love and freedom music festival, then denied it lol) and still refuse to lay down its arms or return hostages as part of a cease fire (it’s pretty clear they have no desire for peace lol)
palestinians decided to fuck around, they’re now firmly in their find out era, they can continue to stave and suffer until they a) replace their government with someone competent or b) negotiate a cease fire
