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.

Damn y'all love killing babies, don't you.
I don't support Hamas, what's the bet you support Israel?
Not everything is two teams where one team is the winner and one team is the loser. You don't have to pick a team and automatically everything that team does is good and everything the other team does is bad. Sometimes everything is bad. A bad thing happening to one side, and a bad thing happening to the other side, are both bad things that happened.
There is of course significant nuance, and way more detail in what happens in a real life event. And even when something is "presented" as 2 sides, it's really thousands of sides that only kind of align somewhat with each other on some things.
Having said all that, the vast majority of people think they both shouldn't have killed people on any sides. But there are alot of added up underlying causes. And while many people are constantly trying to solve the problem peacefully, there are other people that either can't wait that long, or don't find peace to be the best way to go for other reasons.
Real life problems are hard to solve, and while people work to solve one, other ones are likely getting more out of hand, or even the one they are working on is. Luckily there are so many of us that are able to work towards solutions, but it certainly helps when there are at least more people trying to solve problems than the amount that are trying to cause them, or ignoring them.
In summary, no we don't suck hamas dick. They did a bad thing too. And while they had reason to be upset, there were certainly better ways to go about it. As is the general case in life, being angry is reasonable, but murdering people due to being angry is not.
Ah yes, Hamas, the deadly.. checks notes infants in incubators.
You're a bit fucked up if you think this is a justifiable consequence of war or something to celebrate.
Racist lil shitstain, aintcha
Those babies were not on ANY side.
Israel had a choice about how to respond to the attacks and deal with Hamass. Just like the US and it's allies had a choice about how to respond to 9-11. Killing thousands of innocent people is always going to be the wrong choice. Every time.
And both times it's exactly the reaction their attackers were looking for to cause a wider conflict.
And reacting just like your attacker wants is stupid. If Israel did wanted to attack only Hamas this is not the right reaction. This only gives fuel to Hamas.
Facts are facts. You're reaching for something that isn't there.
To be fair, every comment here is blaming Israel, and nobody is blaming Hamas for any of it. In fact, several commentors are just repeating Hamas propaganda as facts.
And how did Hamas make Israel forcefully evacuate a hospital and leave babies to die? There's still no proof there was even a command center there.
The software's name is quite prophetic. Actual lemmings.
Removed under rule 5, no attacking other users.
