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.
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.

Gazans forced to drink dirty, salty water as the fuel needed to run water systems runs out (edition.cnn.com)

Hamas’ brutal attacks in Israel on October 7 killed at least 1,400 people and the group took more than 200 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. In the wake of the assault, Israel launched an aerial bombardment of Gaza that Palestinian health officials say has killed more than 5,000 people. Israel also announced a “complete siege” on the enclave, withholding vital supplies of water, food and fuel.

Yes but at the same time. The exact same people were also supported by other countries. What did they do with that support? They made weapons from them. New waterpipes? New attack rocket.

I mean, ya turns out your options are actually trying to live together with the people (challenge level IMPOSSIBLE with the nationalists and the ~~white~~ Jewish power party), or genocide. what would you do to the things you describe as less than animals?

The answer you want is 'kill all' the answer we need is "work the fuck together you religious honor pieces of shit".

-b.b.b.ut the long war and unfair landddddd.

Suck it up assholes. They made the past so incredibly complex that even writing it out now would reach text limits.

There are only 3 ways this can go:

take Gaza and fend off against the west Bank.
let Palestina rule over Israël.
stop with this honoring bullshit and see you have more in common than some old seascrolls tell you to (for both sides).

But most importantly stop killing civilians (also both sides). And fucking Hamas release the captives (cause there is only 1 party with actual hostages right now, and no I don't mean the Gaza people locked in Gaza).

It might be a very bad example, but why could east and west Germany reunite with their different political systems. Sometimes you have to work together to get peace. These people don't want peace they both want "what is ours". I know there are idiotic rules in place to protect Israel, but that also got us into this extremely complex mesh of problems.

Currently, the option everyone is supporting: Look we just keep slaughtering them until they stop, it will work eventually!

also, the reason East/West Germany could reunite was because the GDR government had functionally collapsed, and West Germany didn't see East Germans as a menace that should get out of their holy land
