Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

“We as American Jews will not be used, we will not be complicit and we will not be silent. Judaism is a beautiful, thousands-year-old tradition, and Israel is a 76-year-old colonial apartheid state,” Morgan Bassichis, an organizer with Jewish Voice for Peace, told the crowd.

“This is the Passover that we take our exodus from Zionism. Not in our name. Let Gaza live.”

God damn right, not in our name. I'm ethnically Jewish, but an atheist... but I would have prayed with them anyway out of solidarity with sane Jews in America. I can kinda sorta remember the Hebrew?

It's not like Schumer and Biden don't get that, they just use Judaism as an excuse to support a genocidal maniac.

I mean, the goal is geopolitics, not genocide. You're still right, but Biden and Schumer don't genuinely care about Palestine. They genuinely care about Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc, etc, and Israel's status as an ally in the region.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How is Israel an ally?

They're a lightning rod.

The entire reason Israel exists is to be a lightning rod. The issue is they went from an easy nearby target for far right religious ethnostates, to becomin the far right religious ethnostate who is recklessly starting wars and genocides.

If all that matters is middle east geopolitics, then Israel is a liability because they keep attacking neighbors and committing genocides.

This isn't new, we funded fucking Osama Bin Laden too.

Imagine if GW insisted that because Bin Laden was once our ally, he always has to be.

Shit fucking changes.

But 70 and 80 year olds don't always notice because the older we get the faster it seems like time goes by. It happens to all of us, but when you're as old as a fucking country, it's hard to wrap your head around a lot of things have changed since then.

If you expect people to download PDFs from social media comments, it helps if you don't hide the link...

[–] quindraco@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you don't know how to inspect a link before downloading it, that's on you. You asked a question and I answered it by directly citing the source.

Agreed, thanks for sharing that.

The mass arrests came after the seder rituals. Speakers included journalist and author Naomi Klein, Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour, and several Jewish students suspended from Columbia University and Barnard College over the protests that have rocked US campuses in recent days.

Campuses have been rocked by the peaceful protests. I hate mass media.
