      Yes, but don’t worry. This time we’ll do the right thing:

      Ignore the facts strong enough so we forget that it’s happening by tomorrow.

      Slavery is when you’re not allowed to quit. Not getting paid is just theft.

          I’m not saying it’s right or even acceptable, but let’s use the proper words to describe things. In this case Israel is exploiting members of a persecuted minority, then further screwing them by stealing their wages. And on top of that many of them are probably refugees because of Israel’s genocide campaign. But they’re not slaves according to any of what I’ve seen claimed.

    They’re really going for the ‘violate international law’ speedrun here, aren’t they?

      Wouldn’t call 75 years a SPEEDrun but yeah, it definitely seems like they’re going for the 100% completion achievement…

        Can you say why they won’t do the right thing though, that is the real question. We know they won’t but no one will say why.

          Several reasons. Most of them related to bigotry, right wing politics and dehumanizing of minority groups, but I repeat myself.

          When you don’t consider your enemy human, it’s your own actions that become inhumane as a result.

            Exactly… Their right wing politics is like Christian fundamentalism in the US. But it is also a culture of religious propaganda to see others as less than human as well. Anyways… MSM will call anyone an antisemite that says it outloud.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
