Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

Better late then never.
That'll teach them a lesson!
Itβs crazy that this is the line. This mother fucker has been one of the biggest cheerleaders of a genocide that has killed thousands of men, women, and children. But I guess Palestinians arenβt people to these fucks
There were French citizens on that flotilla.
It would be crazy of the French government not to consider that a line.
A French EU MP was captured in international water and held captive in Israel for a couple of days in a prior flotilla assault. That should definitely have been the line. I'm not sure what this latest occurrence adds to that but I guess the financial interests have shifted.
I mean sure. Iβm just commenting on the fact that genocide should have been the first line because it is genocide.
That's a fair criticism too.
I would have thought with all the talk about, "Never again," we'd be a bit more upset about genocide but we have a pretty poor record around doing anything about them, caring about them, and in many cases, just knowing about them.
Several disputed genocides have not made it into that list, either. Among them: the wilful lack of response against the AIDS crisis, and the current efforts to erase trans people in the US..
Political groups and LGBTQ+ identities are particularly vulnerable to having extermination efforts against us denied the description of genocide, and thus, minimized. Take a guess as to why.
that Peter Griffin meme with color chart
The entire IDF and vast majority of Israeli's are gleefully behind the genocide and abuse. Why just sanction one person?
ISTG they'll probably roll this back soon and say they've decided to just sanction his glasses /s.
Europeans are scared of Israel. That's why.
ISTG?
I swear to god
C'est le minimum.
Des sanctions, c'Γ©tait mieux.
Je suis d'accord.
barely, there's a rogue nation doing piracy in the Mediterranean, kidnapping and torturing civilians, the bare minimum is ensure the Mediterranean is safe. IE blow up every Israeli military asset outside Israel territorial waters. Including within Gazan territorial waters.
But that means having reasonable leadership. not cowards
Looking for someone to blame, ban, and not change anything really
Could do with military accompanying the flotillas to the destination, and preventing them from being seized by the apartheid terrorists or by the apartheid-funded terrorists, or really, by anyone else. And that after supplying the populace, they can return safely to where the flotilla came from.
Fatah are the true liberators!
there's a rogue nation kidnapping and torturing civilians in the Mediterranean.
those fucks don't care
