- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- 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.
-
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.

They’re looking to draw pints (mLs) of blood.
acre-foot is my go-to for volume
What's that in decibels?
That’s some difficult math (maths).
My favorite is when people use MPH in the same sentence as KM for distance.
I forget what it was, but I just heard it again in some British TV show the other day. Probably Taskmaster.
This is not a surprise. Just as Israel’s far-right is resisting a ceasefire agreement, so is Hamas’s benefactor. If Hamas won’t attack, and the US is protecting the Red Sea from the Houthis, Iran will attack directly.
Iran has been fighting this proxy war through Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis since 1985.

The absolute last thing the world needs is Trump in office during a hot war with Iran. That’s legitimately nuclear arms territory.
It's hard to paint them as the baddies when they're the only ones trying to stop a country ran by genocidal religious extremists from continuing their genocide that's already been going on over half a year...
It's been going on for far longer then that.
The human rights abuses have been going on pretty much the whole time Israel has existed...
But what has been happening the past 7 months isn't normal.
And is only happening because our current president has spent a lifetime saying hell never stop supporting Israel.
They've tried a lot to take it this far, but regardless of who was in office and what party they were from, the US president draws a line in the sand and Israel chills out some.
They just don't respect Biden, to the point when he draws a line, they immediately and obviously jump over it while yelling at Biden for drawing the line they didn't care about.
What is happening now is not normal, just look at how the last Dem president handled this shit:
Biden recounted in private that when he was vice president in 2014 and Israel mounted a military assault on Gaza, Obama and his staff rejected his belief, held for decades, that the best way to approach the Israelis is to hug them close but not criticize them, the people familiar with his comments said.
Instead, they said Biden has noted, Obama publicly admonished Israel’s actions and voiced concern for Palestinian civilian deaths early into the 2014 conflict. As a result, Biden has argued, Obama squandered any ability to influence the Israeli government as it invaded Gaza, said the people familiar with his comments.
They said Biden’s message when he revisited the 2014 debate was: I was right then, and I am right now.
When it comes to Israel, either Biden is completely ignorant, or this is the result he wants.
What Obama did cooled things down, what Biden says was the right move, leads to one of the largest and most destructive genocides in modern history.
And he's proud of it and bragging about how he knows more than anyone else, while refusing to listen to protestors, voters, and likely his advisors/campaign team.
He's going to keep doing whatever he wants, because he feels entitled to our votes because no matter what, trump is worse.
America is at a very dangerous place right now because we have to accept anything that's not trump and have no say in who that is.
I 💯 agree with you on this statement.
Same. Really don't understand the downvotes they got.
For these particular groups the article says the exact opposite.
But on Nov. 2 they claimed their first ever attack on Israel.
In general it is pretty rare for anyone to directly attack Israel other than groups they created through their various occupations, mainly Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.
No. Israel has started it's genocide the day Zionism was created and militias started forcing Palestinians out of their homes and killing them in the first place.
Ah OK, I can't read apparently. I thought you meant the attacks from Iraqi militias have been going on longer than the current Israeli invasion. I agree with your original comment.
Ah ok lol no worries.
