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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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.

How about actually learning history instead of spouting bullshit. Israel only had to start taking action, after the constant terrorist attacks out of Gaza.
Lmao.
A. Yep I've read the history.
B. If they only took action against Gaza after terrorist attacks then why were they in Gaza in the first place?
They blockaded Gaza because they didn't like the resistance movement actually winning the elections. Instead of trying to work with them they declared war right away. And yes that's what a blockade is, an act of war. Israel has been at war with Gaza for nearly 20 years by that action alone. More if you count the illegal occupation before.
They don't get a pass just for being Israel.
Ah yes, revisionist history at its finest. Those are lovely stories you're inventing there.
Actual facts: Israel agrees to give Gaza independence, pulling out all Jews living there, regardless for how long. Hamas comes into power, declaring their mission to wipe Israel off the map and starts sending terrorist after terrorist into Israel. A blockade is established to limit weapons getting into Gaza.
Lmao. I don't know how young you are, but I'm not too young to have followed the reports.
And the "takeover" they refer to is Hamas and the Palestinian people enforcing the election result. I'm not the one doing revisionist history here. And that's generally Israel's problem. The West isn't buying their bullshit anymore. Millennials actually don't like colonialism, as opposed to previous generations that were forced to give it up.
See, you can't even figure out that they were talking about the border crossing with Israel in that article. The naval blockade (which is actually what people mean when they say blockade) happened later.
The problem with millennials is that they're falling for too much fake information because it lines up with what they think is their cause. After that they laugh in their ignorance because they think Republicans are the only ones falling for it.
I love how you want to tell me what I mean by blockade. They cut it off to the point they decided how much food the people in Gaza could eat. All for the crime of electing their own government.
Oh I'm sorry, your definition of blockade isn't a blockade as much as the US border is one.
You also ignored the fact that Hamas was recognized as a terrorist organization back then, too.
The definition.
And do you really think causing a humanitarian crisis was going to hurt Hamas? You don't fight an idea by hurting people. You fight it by backing off and letting the people there see the radical nature. Otherwise you're just making your own resistance to fight forever.
That definition has nothing to do with closing a country border crossing which is what the article you linked talked about. Seriously, if you're going to quote me the dictionary, at least know what you're talking about.
They controlled everything into and out of Gaza. That's not "a border crossing".
That was after the terrorist attacks that led to the naval blockade. In the article you linked, this was still when Israel had just closed one of their border crossings. Seriously, go back and read.
It's literally right there in the quote, in my comment. You can't change history.
Funny coming from the one using a fake history.
Everyone knows that the whole reason for the American Civil War was the Fort Sumter attack. That was when the timeline started, there were no deeper reasons, no history for decades prior. Anyone bringing up things like slavery are just doing it to dilute the crime of the Fort Sumter attack. If only the Confederates had not attacked Fort Sumter, the whole Civil War thing would never have happened.
Also, nobody needs a memory longer than a goldfish's.
