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.

It's rabid nationalism. Most Jews (and most Israelis) are secular, though they might light a candle once a year.
Zionism is not grounded on Nationalism, it's grounded on Ethnic Supremacy.
This is why it's far more calously violent towards those they see as being from lesser races (openly called "vermin" by some Zionists).
Traditional Fascism, like in Italy or Spain, is grounded on Nationalism so is way less likely to do things like activelly target and murder children like Israel did in Gaza (were, for example, they had snipers killing children playing at home).
If you want a present day example of this kind of thing "just" anchored on rabid nationalism, look at Russia - murderous, but they generally don't go around mass murdering Ukranian civilians, much less calously murdering Ukranian children. For all the shit Russia does, they're not actually trying to wipe out a people, they're trying to conquer it.
Zionism is in a different class of ideology: the same as NAZIsm.
(Israel itself is openly an ethnic supremacist country, with its Constitution explicitly saying that Jews and only Jews can be Israeli Nationals, so non-Jews born in Israel if they do manage to get it - as it's not an inherent right for those born there - can get Israeli Non-Jewish Citizenship, which is not the same as Nationality in Israel and does not grant the same rights. Maybe your confusion comes from there - Zionist is not about the Nation, it's all about the Race, and as it just so happens the nation of Israel is also all about the very same race)
