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.

Ah yes 1948. Wasn't there another war, just a few years earlier where we all determined that war wasn't a reason to clear ethic populations off of land? Where we all decided that ethno states were bad?
Or was it only when the Germans did it? And I don't care that there Palestinians also attacked the British. I'm only refuting the idea that Israelis are purely victims.
And in international law there is no 50%. Especially not for Fifty Four Years.
And you really, really don't want to get into the meeting civilians en masse argument. Far more Palestinian civilians have been murdered by a supposedly professional military and Israeli settlers.
You also don't get to conflate citizenship with rule. You don't have to be a citizen to under their rule. Israel rules over 7 million Palestinians. That's 50%.
Can't attack an ethnostate that's trying to kill you, that makes you as bad as Nazis!
Why can't they just let those nice Palestinians murder them and drive them into the sea without consequence?
Never made that claim, Hoss. I'm pointing out who the terrorists are and what caused this chapter of the conflict.
CITATION?
Killed, yes. Murdered, no. Collateral damage in warfare/retaliation for violent attacks by a belligerent nation.
Yes, they have administrative control over a hostile belligerent nation that is still trying to kill them after being overwhelmingly defeated time and time again. They refuse to concede and portray themselves as the victims, for some reason people like yourself find it compelling.
Lmao Lemmy deleted my response so this is going to be shorter. (Apparently hitting the vote arrows reloads the page)
The source is the Geneva Convention. It makes statements like, "administrative control over a hostile belligerent" and "Collateral damage in warfare/retaliation" admissions of war crimes, not arguments. We literally hung Nazis for killing civilians as retaliation.
And the entire supposition of having to genocide them first is both Nazis propaganda (since you want to directly reference them) and bullshit. Palestinians have been very clear that they want the 1969 borders and Israel to stop their occupation.
