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 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.

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.

Wow not a single mention of the infants and children being held hostage in Gaza. Apparently they only care about saving some of the children
Dude if you're triggered by them just 'counting' their dead, there's something wrong with you.
Are you triggered by my comment where I was not triggered, just pointing out biased reporting?
This is an article about children who are dead, not those still alive.
Also shady that the number dead in Gaza comes from “The Ministry of Health in Gaza” aka Hamas controlled data.
Who should it come from?
No one.
They just don't want to hear about it because it challenges their worldview. If this came from a source outside of Gaza, they'd criticize it for not being first hand information. And of course anything that comes from inside Gaza is hand waved as Hamas controlled. They've created a system that allows them to selectively write off any source that challenges them with the wave of a hand.
Thank you for describing what I've wanted to say for days. There really is an effort online to dismiss anything that's happening inside Gaza.
or just willfully ignore
I'm saving this one for later. Holy shit that's well put.
You know Palestine isn't some hidden shadowy back woods no one can see? There are aids groups there, Doctors Without Borders, journalists, other experts. They don't have a magical authoritarian lock on information. You can see the bodies.
Maybe ALLOW other people in? It's almost like Israel has closed all borders and is actively killing journalists, oh wait, blackout etc... Oh wait, they DID?
Until they do, you have no other option than to believe them. Why not? Because it serves you to think that way and push people online to automatically dismiss and disbelieve everything that's happening right now.
I could also start making the case that I don't believe Israel lost so 1400 people, just to annoy you. But I won't, because they died and the least I can do is acknowledge that.
They published the ID numbers of those who they claim are dead. It will be possible to prove/disprove it in time. It's not like they are throwing out a number without any backing.
