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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

All antisemites according to the IHRA definition of antisemitism.
Well, we're going to have to ignore things like anti-semitism and islamophobia, when they're just buzz words used to protect religions when they are genociding other religions, and innocent civilians that got in the way.
It sucks that there are things like nazis that go around trying to kill eveyrthing that isn't them. The cause is religion, and every single religion has religious extremists willing to kill all other religions.
They are real and shouldn't be ignored. Words have meaning but we shouldn't broaden the meaning to include defending the state of Israel. Israel doesn't speak for folks of the Jewish faith and vise versa.
why all those secular countries keep supporting Israel settler colonialism then? You don't care about anybody do you? Real antisemitism and islamophobia exists
Add ethnicities to that list, which is the main driver here, although religious Zionism is present and growing. The Nazis weren't particularly pious either,
Gosh, stop being such an antimarmite or whatever.
Thank you. I imagine it's not easy for them doing that
that's like saying it's brave for muslim figures to denounce ISIS.
I'm grateful for them don't get me wrong and btw sanctions were the only thing that ended aparthied in South Africa:

while Israel's aparthied and ethnic cleansing is powered by the most powerful economies of the world. The question is when are the world most powerful countries going to act? They sanctioned Russia and kicked them out of all international sports for way less. Gaza exposed the hypocracy of the US and western democracies claims of the international law
A Washington Post poll found that 61% of US Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and 39% say it is committing genocide. Among the broader American public, 45% told the Brookings Institution they believe Israel is committing genocide, while a Quinnipiac survey in August found half of US voters share that view, including 77% of Democrats.
This is an important shift.
"Inconceivable"
Israel, probably
Wonder if they're gonna have sympathy for Muslims now, after saying that regular Muslims need to stand up to the extremist Muslims, for years, and now see how difficult it is to stand up to this bullshit. Wonder if they're gonna have sympathy for Germans now, and see how easy it is to fall for a Reichstag fire event.
I'm guessing that these Jews always understood anybody could be sucked into fascism. The ones that were willing to reduce the Holocaust and WWII to German ethnicity aren't going to have a problem reducing Israel-Palestine to Palestinian ethnicity either.
Guessing Seinfeld is not among them
Hell yeah I thought that was Ilana Glazer. She's the best
"Never get involved in a land war in Asia...err...Palestine"
Palestine is in Asia
That was a reference to The Princess Bride because Wallace Shawn is pictured in the thumbnail.
There's probably a Rule of Acquisition about that.
They should make a sequel to Hidden Figures called Jewish figures.
Yes, genocidal religions always act so quickly when they're busy genociding other religions. So, they wait until genocide has been going on for years, and when it slows down, "Oh, we're so peaceful, watch us call for an end to the genocide!".
Bullshit. This is why we can't expect religions to hold themselves to any standards of humanity. They lie. They manipulate. They genocide. They apologize while they're genociding, and say it'll never happen again. But they haven't said that it'll never happen again, because they know it will.
Everyone knows religions will continue to genocide in the name of their stupid, fictional gods.
To be fair here, some of the names on the list have been loudly calling it a genocide or ethnic cleansing for years, some were loud about it years before October 7th.
