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. 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.

There's no evidence there are trees in the forest.
There's no evidence the earth is round.
We did however find many recently dug mini basements! There were lots of stinky people in them. We didn't stop to ask because of the stink and I think you need to dig to go into the basements and many only fit one person. We did see a bunch of community basements and oh man those stunk! You know like road kill? Like that but worse! ......hmmm.....WAIT a god dammed minute! Those were bunkers! Wow! Incredible! And here we were thinking they were basements! But only some had a little house on them with a cross to fool us into thinking they were Christian! No! Those were bunkers!
I can show them ttlhe videos I've seen of fathers dragging the broken bodies of their children from burning rubble if they need evidence. Fucking ghouls.
Just like there is no war in Ba Sing Se.
Hmmm I wonder if they have any financial incentive to lie…
New Labour has fully transitioned the Labour Party to a Ethno-Fascist Genocide supporting Far Right party.
Almost every other week I get reminded of just how good my decision to leave Britain with Brexit was.
That lawyer should be force to move there.
One cannot see what one does not want to see.
Yes. These guys have a vested interest in their client selling F-35 parts, so they will try to paint white as black.
The interesting part will be whether the court accepts their reasoning.
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” - Upton Sinclair
Defense lawyers are ethically obligated to plead for their clients; just as Otto Stahmer denied overwhelming evidence to argue for Hermann Göring's acquittal, despite his documented role as a chief architect of the Holocaust. Meanwhile, England acts as a co-belligerent in Palestine, supplying arms to Israel, vetoing ceasefire efforts, and challenging the ICC's jurisdiction over crimes against humanity. Its refusal to recognize genocide follows a familiar pattern: admission would compel accountability for its own complicity.
Don't forget active reconnaissance flights from Cyprus.
Let’s hold the UK government to its own words.
Official UK statement (13 Oct 2023):
Prime Minister deploys UK military to Eastern Mediterranean to support Israel (gov.uk, archiveve.today, archive.org)
The UK government claims its military deployment, including surveillance flights from Cyprus, is for "supporting civilians to leave Gaza." However, this aligns with Israel’s efforts to forcibly relocate Palestinians from Gaza, which many legal experts argue could constitute a war crime or even ethnic cleansing under international law.
Israel is a valuable strategic staging point for The West in the The Middle East. No Western Power will jeopardize access to it.
That's why Israel's behavior is tolerated, and Israel knows it.
And no, I'm not an Anti-Semite. Not all Jews are Israelis.

Israel is trying to limit incidental harm to women and children? THEY ARE STARVING THE FUCKING REGION!
No no, you see, it's a targeted starvation, they are only cutting power, medicine, water and food to the men... /s
The UK is participating in genocide.
The current leadership of the British party which is now in Government has a MASSIVE personal debt to Israel and Israeli-linked Jewish Organisations in Britain for their campaign to oust the previous leader of the party - the first actual leftwinger elected to it since the 80s - using accusations of anti-semitism which were so wild that at one point a Jewish Holocaust Survivor was repeatedly said to be an anti-semite for what he said in a conference for Palestine, as a means to claim that Labour leader was an anti-semite by association (they sat in the same panel in that conference).
Israel delivered Sir Keir Starmer the top position at the party which was the next in line to get into Government and hence his premiership and Sir Keir Starmer is paying them back by having Britain help Israel mass murder Palestinian children.
The very Prime Minister of the British Government (as well as pretty much the whole of the Labour leadership) has been bought by Israel, not with money but with the greatest favour in their lives.
As they walk over the dead bodies. Nothing to see here. Business as usual.
Business as usual.
Well, by the standards of the British Empire that could very well be considered true.
WTF? Even our government (Denmark) foreign minister is alarmed by what Israel is doing in Gaza, and he is traditionally very pro Israel!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_genocide
According to a United Nations Special Committee,[37] Amnesty International, and other experts and human rights organisations, Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people
This is so widely reported and acknowledged the only way to ignore it is extreme bias or more likely corruption.
It is also absolutely clear that Israel is committing war crimes regularly, there is zero doubt t about it, and the political leadership in Israel is wanted criminals because of it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Criminal_Court_arrest_warrants_for_Israeli_leaders
On 21 November 2024, following an investigation of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for two senior Israeli officials, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, and Yoav Gallant, the former Minister of Defense of Israel,
Please UK, don't go as corrupt malignant and stupid on us as USA. 🙏
Ever since Brexit I think it'd a little late for that.
Brexit was bad, but hopefully we can still work closely together. UK is still finding their footing after Brexit.
USA is a different more fundamental break of trust, which I would hate to see repeated with UK.
In most EU countries USA is now more unpopular than China!
UK is on a route where they are balancing EU and USA against each other, while completely forgetting that it was not EU that wanted the break, and EU is still their friend, and USA is not. just look how USA is treating Canada! It's insane that UK is looking towards USA considering how unfriendly USA has become even to their closest ally!
Well of course Lawyers would say that. Defending amoral actions by their clients is their raison d'etre.
I'm more curious what the judges say tbh
