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.
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.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used a map of Israel that erases the occupied West Bank, marking it as Israeli territory, in an address to the media yesterday.
The Israeli premier appeared standing in front of a wall-sized digital map that obliterated the West Bank. Palestinians decried the move as an explicit annexation of the occupied territory by Tel Aviv.
What do you care? You blame Palestinians for a government they haven't been able to vote against since 2005, and want to equate them all to Hamas in regions that Hamas doesn't even rule in. You say there is no apartheid. You constantly equate "left" to Nazis. Which makes it all the more telling when you deny such demonstrably and verifiably true facts because of a news source you want to demonize. For someone who joins a furry instance, all of your comment history is dedicated to headbutting yourself against anything that even remotely might be amicable to Palestinians with all of your participation being limited to just World News and politics for this. Just be honest, you support exterminating Palestinians from Israel, because it's rather straightforward you do.
"Genocidal zionist furries" definitely aren't the first thing I expected when I came to Lemmy, but here we are I guess.
I'd sooner guess "ban evader".
My only wish is that Israelis would wake the fuck up and realize that trying to kill all of the Palestinians isn't a winning strategy. Sure, a lot of them don't harbor that sentiment, but enough of them do. I do not feel bad about the Nazis or Japanese Imperialists that were killed in WW2, and I don't feel bad for these idiots that won't give up Zionism to better their lives. All sides have to agree on peace, and as it stands, Zionists don't want that.
Ftfy
Is this a joke account?
Genocides their neighbours
Don't they have parties where they go to watch the IDF bomb Palestine? They seem to really enjoy war.
Alongside? That's rich coming from an Apartheid state.
Can you do us a favor and give up Zionism to better your life?
Yeah, media bias fact check, totally not based on some guys political opinions...
Are you saying the image above is fake?
