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.

I'm shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
This is unsurprising.
Israel is not known for their love of human rights.
Once they’ve killed all the Palestinians and journalists, the IDF will need someone new to shoot
I'm sure they're efficient enough that they can start shooting new groups before they're completely finished the previous groups.
You joke but this is why fascism isn’t sustainable. You always need a scapegoat and eventually your gonna run out of them as you make your population more and more uniform.
When they're done raping all the women and young girls of Palestine, they'll turn their rape spree onto Israeli women and young girls.
I wonder how all these pick me bitches openly supporting the IDF will twist the narrative for it.
So all three major religions want to make the lives of women more difficult.
Who'd have thought.
I don't know that I'd include judaism on a list of "three major religions." Hinduism and buddhism have much better claims on being in the top three.
You’re not calling Judaism a major religion are you?
Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, have billions of followers each. Judaism has a few million.
It has influence disproportionate to the number of followers. (But Hinduism and Buddhism should be ahead of it anyway, this is a very Western perspective)
Yet the majority of the world are bootlicking israel
Leadershit maybe, but the general public seems to have had enough.
But the leaders are elected by the people and foreign conflict with always comes after domestic affairs like the economy
Large parts of the world don't have fair elections, or elections at all.
Also, yes people vote on domestic affairs first. Doesn't mean they support the foreign policy, just that it is a lower priority. We typically don't have "if all else was equal" in voting decisions.
Or we have situations like in the U.S. where both sides are in on the bootlicking. One side may go further than the other, but both choices are bad in this regard.
If the population keep voting for those type of leaders there is zero reasons for them to care about Palestine and listen to people. The only way is voting them out of the system and we sre in a very critical time where Gaza may cease to exists in few years. Time is running out
Leadershit are the ones making the difference right now. People's sentiment mean nothing unless they hold their leaders responsible. People are dying right now and still no action is being taken.
The three Abrahamic religions? ...weird they all worship the same god by different names.
The sky is blue, water makes things wet, blood is red.
Just saying things that are obvious, don't mind me.
I am pretty sure sky is blue deniers exists
There is the whole myth that ancient people couldn't see the colour blue. But that was because they didn't have a distinct word for it that didn't include other shades like purple.
Well, the sky isn't objectively blue, it just appears so to us.
Isn't that everything?
I think, technically speaking due to Rayleigh Scattering and the nature of our sun, the sky wouldn't be blue if it weren't for the composition of our atmosphere — if I'm remembering correctly. So the sky could potentially be a different color with a different atmosphere, or at least we would perceive it that way (we are also sensitive to the color blue, so it is easier to see).
Idk, this has led to many more questions than I anticipated. I guess if you're very strict about the light not being a part of the atmosphere due to scattering then it is not blue. Other factors like clouds, fog, smog, obviously play a part.
You mean fascists don't respect human lives? But muh LGBT equals! Muh only democracy in the region!
Fascism does hate wömen, after all
Men of Wö?
Exactly, bröther
But I thought that we (U.S. people) were supposed to support them because they are a champion of democracy and human rights.
I'm calling bullshit.
What have either the US or Israel got to do with democracy or human rights nowadays, anyway?
Depends on who's trying to say they're good ones
Most moral society now!
I don't doubt that Israel is backsliding on women's rights, but this "Women, Peace and Security Index" has got to be bullshit.
They have a bunch of parameters that try to capture the situation of women, and I'm sure that can be useful to gauge which way the wind is blowing for a single country, but it gets kinda ridiculous when Saudi Arabia gets a much better score than Turkey, China, India, Brazil, Iran, and Mexico.
Just a reminder that women were not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia until 2018.
Women’s rights are on a sharp decline in Israel.
Yeah, that'll happen in a patriarchal theocracy.
who is surprised? they’re inhuman nazis treating people like trash.
John Kerry warned that Israel can be Jewish, large, democratic, pick two. They picked Jewish and large. Now leopards are coming for faces.
Wow, I didn't expect bad people to be bad people 😮
they are baddies??
Well, the exact same happens in murica. If you partner with ultra religious people, this is the bullshit that'll happen.
Make a fascist society, get fascist society problems.
Leopards Eating Punim
Hacker ticked off a list of historical accomplishments for women’s equality in Israel: the 1951 Equal Rights for Women Law, considered revolutionary at the time; Golda Meir serving as one of the first female leaders in the world in 1969; the military’s mandatory conscription of women.
Yeah, cause socialist zionists dominated political power during that period. As racist as they were towards Palestinians, equality was increasing. That's not the ideological reality today.
I mean I get that's bad, and it's definitely a sign of civilization regressing, and with each step backwards, we continue to inch towards the day where we finally topple any evidence of progress that has been built, and we're lucky if we can even hold it together enough to emerge from the ashes of modern society as feral bands of mud people with some chance of perhaps one day making it back to this same point in another 2000 years or so.
But, is the "loss of women's rights" perhaps offset by the privilege of knowing that even if you lose your rights, you can still be shitty to people of a different ethnicity without concern of public judgment or accountability for your shitty behavior? And if so, isn't that what freedom is all about?
A country known for making war crimes and genocides doesn't support human rights? Consider me as surprised.
I literally could not care less. Get fucked, Isreal. You voted for this.
Not gonna shed too many tears over this.
