A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Well... If you're a persona non grata in a genocidal country, you must be doing something right
@Billy doesn't make him wrong about Climate Change, the Amazon rainforest, or the genocide in Gaza though.
He's a big headline guy. Say enough imflamitory stuff and you'll get in the news.
He's not a paladin. He make mistakes.
But there are huge differences between Ukraine/Russia and Gaza/Israel.
Israel with Netanyahu is killing children and civilians.

And so on.
And so this makes it ok to "both sides" the war in Ukraine? This makes zero sense
I did not say that.
What I said is: you can be wrong with an allegation in the past, but it does not mean that you'll be wrong with another allegation with no related subject in the future.
He may be wrong about Ukraine/Russia, but this subject is different from Gaza/Israel, which he is right and we have many evidences of the last one.
You're trying to steamroll the user's valid point which is that this person is a shitty source of info.
What? Are you on drugs?
it's not a valid point. it's the very definition of poisoning the well.
Tankies be wilding fr fr
I'm sure Lula isn't losing any sleep over this.
Feel a bit sorry for the Ambassador though, taken on a holocaust memorial tour to be told off.
“It seems like he internalized the message,” says an Israeli official who was present.
The message that these genocidaires are batshit insane and really can't see why killing civilians and children is wrong, I guess.
It's clearly not the same. See, the skin color of the victims is different! And the Israeli flag looks nothing like a swastika. You must can't compare the two.
