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.

As opposed to all the food arriving to Gaza before? Make no mistake, Putin absolutely gives 0 fucks about Palestinian or any lives, but making him the bogeyman for starving Gazans is ridiculous. This is on the genocidal apartheid colony.
This has to be the most pathetic thing coming out of Starmers mouth yet. The guy is a lawyer for international law, who for the most part of the last year denied Israeli warcrimes, continued arms shipments, driven out party members critical of Israel, usually women, black and brown people, while making excuses for his white antisemite and racist friends to stay.
Britain is still delivering weapons, in particular F35 parts, supplying ome of the main weapon system used by Israel to bring annihilation to Gaza and Lebanon.
Fuck Putin and fuck all the other genocidial imperialist leaders.
Exactly, there's no shortage of trucks lined up at the border just being held for 'inspections'. There's no issue with getting aid to Gaza, there's issues getting it inside, and that's not because of Putin.
I think that's what makes the Russian Federation's actions so bad. With the situation being as dire in Gaza as it is right now, every scrap of edible nutrition that is allowed to make it in counts.
The Russian Federation may not be a friend of Israel, but clearly they aren't going to do any good for Palestine either.
UK disrupting aid to gaza by still supplying arms to israel
Guys do not post extremely dishonest takes like this. Any person with eyes can see there is plenty of food aid waiting right outside of Gaza and there is a singular reason it is not getting in. Statements like these are going to make people side with Putin in a kneejerk reaction from losing trust in Starmer.
It's quite rich to see one of the genocide supporters sitting at the heart of the imperial core complain about aid not getting into Gaza, as their rabid settler colonial project is the main cause for the mass starvation/extinction in Gaza in the first place
