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.

He ordered it to be built because israel okayed it. He needed something and israel needed that something to be ineffective.
Was always just an optics project. His answer to genocide was essentially a dog and pony show.
And so many blue magas defended Biden by saying he was doing so much with the pier and he was going to solve everything.
I forget - did any of the pier aid actually get delivered, or was it all piled up under Israeli 'security' concerns and never distributed?
What a fucking fiasco.
From memory there was at least one delivery but yeah, it was largely a failure. Well, it was a failure if the objective was to get aid through to Gaza at least.
I think it was used once by those poor WCK volunteers that went to distribute food, but unfortunately in the eyes of the IDF they really looked like Hamas so they had to die
Could have given me that money instead, I would have donated some of it to UNRWA and that would probably help Palestinians more than that Pier and thanks to the rest of the money I would never have to work again which would also improve my life.
Of course they could also stop delivering weapons to the Zionists, push through an immediate ceasefire and stop the genocide and Apartheid and decolonize Palestine but that would be too easy I guess.
Can we please stop with the gaslighting saying it was “to deliver humanitarian aid” when we all saw that that was just the cover story for its real purpose of carrying out a massacre on a refugee camp.
