Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Average Palestine supporter
I disagree with the "average Palestinian supporter" statement also, but unfortunately there's a very loud contingent of people who are "supporting Palestinians" by attacking Jews worldwide. They seem to think that a Jewish person living in New York is 100% responsible for what's going on between Israel and Gaza merely by the fact that they are Jewish.
I've seen people openly declare that Jewish temples, businesses, and homes are valid targets. I've seen people celebrate Jewish deaths or rip down posters of the people who were taken hostage.
Sadly, these people hurt the very cause they claim to support by linking it with this hatred. (For the record, I'm Jewish and want the Palestinians to have a better life.)
If someone's support for Innocent Group A is expressed by attacking Innocent Group B, then they aren't on the right side (even if supporting Innocent Group A is a just cause).
I feel like almost every single one of those people (the 'loud contingent' you mention) were already antisemitic assholes, and this is just an excuse to be louder about it. Besides hitching themselves to the 'free Palestine' voices, they have nothing else in common with the true supporters of Palestinian human rights and can fuck right off
In his defense, we're told by our leaders who to support, I'd bet 90+% of us don't know Jack shit of what's going on over there. Cnn/fox news said so and so is the bad guy so that's the bad guy.
Shit take, brah.
