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.

A minority group (they are ~4.5% of the population) got almost complete control of the Knesset due to a combination of stupid vote-rounding method, egoistic politicians and a sad state of affairs in our biggest party.

This small minority is composed of Jew-Nazis, they want to remove any non-Jewish from Israel, be it by them walking or killing them, they regularly go for pogroms in the Palestinians. For the atheistic Jews they plan concentration camps (the exact wording their rabbis signed on!).

The majority of Israelis are against that, so we currently see an unprecedented demonstrations in Israel.

Both the army and the economy are dependent on the parts of the population that are against this shit. For example, the high-tech sector is starting to recover in the US and EU (that much as it exists there), in Israel it continues to crash. It came out of IDF, mostly from IAF, that it capabilities are already reduced. For example, Hezbollah settled two tents inside Israel. If they tried that before the current shit-storm, they would have instantly gotten blown up. Instead, Israel asked nicely through political channels that the tents will be removed.

If the fucktards in the government will pass those laws Israel will implode, I think this implosion can take one of two directions:

The minority that took over will be kicked out of power, for example by the majority deciding to restart the legal framework of Israel. Bringing the economy to a stand-still to crash the government, etc
Major players in the economy and defense sector will leave Israel leading to it slow collapse. A faster collapse will happen if the nukes will be taken by the USA.
