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.

Now that "Justice has been served" I take it that US support for this war will be pulled and the Israelis will pack up and return back across the borders to go home?
V-E day happened about a month after Hitler killed himself.
Fascists will tend to fight a little longer even after their strongman leader is dead. And Sinwar didn't off himself, he died fighting so that could be used for propaganda purposes by Hamas.
But after a few months of fighting in the ruins where their homes used to be and without the strongman leader they'll begin to question what they're even fighting for.
Most fascist movements just fade away over time, but sometimes this is how fascism has to be defeated.
For clarity, in this comparison of yours to WW2, hamas are the fascists?
Hamas is a group that's anti-democracy, lead by a strongman (or at least it was), whose political goals are centered around blood and soil, ethnic cleansing and genocide. They tick all of the fascist boxes.
yeah it probably would've helped to bring in hamas leaders alive and in custody. seems sorta like israel's strategy is weirdly not about bringing a timely end to the fighting
Sure in an ideal world Sinwar would be put on trial. But it didn't look like Sinwar was going to turn himself in peacefully.
