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 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.

Genocide? Not a problem. Breaking rules of war/Geneva Convention? Don’t worry about it. Tattling on the war crimes? Disappeared.
Fuck Israel.
Israel and the US are one and the same on that. Remember Chelsea Manning? I do.
They finally investigated themselves, and found the only person who did something wrong, reporting a gang rape.
What is the state to do with someone who leaks classified/military state secrets, no matter the content? Serious question I haven't seen addressed in this case.
In any case, she knew she would eventually be fucked, life over, did it anyway, heroine. Wish she would have kept running, no idea what options she had escaping a genocidal government in a war zone. Wish she was anywhere but in Israel's grasp.
Any good state would turn whistle-blowers into the heroes they are. But Israel is the furthest from a "decent" state
Don't worry we've arrested the 911 caller. Proceed with the fire.
It's israel policy to rape palestinians .
Well, if I had to say something, at least she didn't "fall out of a window", but idk if that's even a positive or a negative in this case.
I assume a positive since she's a whistleblower?
Disappearing and reappearing/arresting a whistleblower is not a good thing, no.
My point is that arresting them is marginally less bad than just outright disappearing them (ie murdering them "in secret", despite the sort off open secret nature of the business).
ACAB strikes again.
It’s called racism.
Meanwhile, the rapists are paraded like national heroes
