-
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.
-
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.

I like how they called in the Spanish ambassador for a reprimand. If the PM says something that they didn’t like why would the ambassador give a shit about being reprimanded for it? “He’s my boss, what can I do about it? Oh, and maybe stop killing so many civilians.”
‘Doubts’
Can’t believe all these authoritarian governments around the world aren’t playing by the rules
shocked Pikachu face
Netanyahu isn't respecting Israeli law. He led a coup that has replaced the legitimate government of Israel after all.
Why would he start respecting international law?
so some israelis face the same situation as some russians. hostages to a mad dictator.
I'd also say it's a way to see what Trump will do if he wins.
After all, one of the reasons the Hamas attack succeeded is that ol' Bibi pulled back forces guarding against Hamas in the Gaza Strip is that he was using those forces to intimidate the judiciary trying to proceed with trials against him.
hamas took the opportunity of israeli instability brought by bibi not wanting to go to jail. all of this is because of scum not wanting to go do a little jail time.
Hamas/Sinwar was pissed at jews praying in the Temple Mount complex on the 4th of October and a plurality of Palestinians in Palestine on their own survey think thats the reason the 7th attack happened on that specific day.
Planning in general was happening for a while, but from reporting it seems everyone (Hamas leaders in Qatar, Iran, Hezbollah) was blindsided by Sinwar flying into a genocidal rage.
yeah, the brigades were waiting for an opening. as they always are. that's the only thing isreali gov. is correct about and the only way it failed israelis. the current political situation in israel is an opening created by bibi, so a terrible leader exposed israel flank to attack.
but you could be right. after all the last hot fifhting between hamas and israel was because a israeli politician forced is entry in the holy esplanade, surrounded by guards.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Israeli government has recalled its ambassador in Madrid and said it will be reprimanding Spain’s top diplomat in Tel Aviv after the Spanish prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said he had “genuine doubts” about whether Israel was complying with international humanitarian law in its offensive in Gaza.
Sánchez’s latest remarks came a week after he caused a diplomatic spat by using a visit to Israel to urge it to rethink its operations in Gaza, claiming its response to Hamas’s atrocitieson 7 October could not “imply the deaths of innocent civilians, including thousands of children”.
Speaking to Spain’s state broadcaster, TVE, on Thursday morning, Sánchez repeated his condemnation of Hamas’s attacks but said “friendly countries really have to be able to tell each other things”.
But with the images we’re seeing and the growing number of people – especially boys and girls – who are being killed, I have genuine doubts that they’re complying with international humanitarian law.”
The Spanish leader said a political solution to the crisis required “the recognition of the Palestinian state”, adding: “It’s in Europe’s interest to address this issue out of moral conviction because what we are seeing in Gaza is not acceptable.”
Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel Albares, called the Israeli government’s comments “false, misplaced and unacceptable”.
The original article contains 784 words, the summary contains 212 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
This is an example of how politics is so weak nowadays.
"He doubts Israel is respecting international law". Everyone's tiptoeing around Israel, being extra careful not to hurt their feelings.
Imagine if the offender was a country like Sudan, Burundi, Ethiopia or Mali? The world would have zero issues telling them as it is, without holding anything back. The US' support of Israel is the only reason the latter is even able to last this long.
