Rules:
-
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.
-
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.

Both NAZIs and Zionists claim to represent an entire ethnicity.
Both NAZIs and Zionists claim "their" ethnicity is inherently superior to others ("ubermenschen", "God's chosen people")
Both NAZIs and Zionists react to criticism of their actions by saying the critics are discriminating against the ethnicity they claim to represent ("against the Arian Race", "anti-semitic")
Both NAZIs and Zionists openly call those belonging to the ethnicities they see as less than human "vermin".
Both NAZIs and Zionists mass murder those of the "vermin" ethnicity with such extreme sociopathic violence that they'll actually directly and purposefully murder children as a standard practice.
In both NAZI Germany and Zionist Israel it is common for roving bands of members of the dominant ethnicity to attack members of the "vermin" ethnicity whilst the police turns a blind eye or even activelly participates.
Both NAZIs and Zionists openly state that they want to get rid of the "vermin" ethnicity, including both using the expression "Final solution for the [vermin ethnicity] problem" to describe their plan to do so.
And don't get me started on how the Propaganda techniques of both are incredibly similar and how if you grab most things said by Israeli politicians, replace "Jews" with "Arians" and "Muslims/Palestinians" with "Jews" you get something indistinguishable from NAZI statements.
IMHO, the only real difference between NAZI Germany and Zionist Israel is which ethinicities they deem "ubermenschen" and which they deem "untermenschen" and the historical symbol they have chosen to represent the. This is probably why most politicians in Germany - a nation which was never fully denazified - "unwaveringly support" Israel.
