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.

War crimes, what war crimes?
Let's send people on an exodus to Egypt. No way they're gonna wanna come back. They either don't get irony or haven't read their own book
Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly has, meanwhile, sought to reassure investors about the state's finances. "I affirm that the Egyptian state has not failed and will not fail to pay any of its international obligations," he said in April.
Amid a foreign currency crunch, Egypt has drawn down net foreign assets in the banking system by more than $40 billion in two years, partly used to prop up the pound.
It seems like this deal would be beneficial in some ways, because it sounds like the world bank is kind of writing off parts of this debt already.
This way it allows for Egypt to build it's economy towards something different, at the expense of basically having to feed, dress, house, and police, 2 million people who are going to be hellbent on getting back at the people who harmed them.
On that topic, how does Israel have the power to write off debt?
House Republicans unveiled a $14.3 billion aid package for Israel on Monday
Oh..... right.... we're helping pay for it.... o_o
And all this money is by cutting funding to the IRS, so that the initiative to look into millionaires and billionaires cheating on taxes to the tune of hundreds of billions a year is dead. And also by completely cutting funding to Ukraine so that Putin, the biggest benefactor of the NRA, and thereby a huge benefactor to the GOP has some respite and can achieve some goals in his own effort to erase a people from nationhood. It's a win-win for in the crooked Republican strategy if it ever passes.
Jesus fricking christ
Wrong Abrahamic sect.

Never a missed opportunity to push people off "their" land. On to justice proud Israel marches on the corpses of 33 hundred children (it's ok, they were all either Hamas members or would be some day).
edit: Forgot to mention it's all Hamas's fault
Remember when they sent 750k away from their homes and never allowed to come back?
And why won't Israel take them?
Maybe because they want to kill each other and there's nothing that seems it would stop this until one side is dead?
Belligerents hiding among the Gazan population who have been attacking Israeli civilians, among other reasons.
Israel was established as a Jewish ethnostate. Accepting any Muslims, Christians, or secular people into its land would make this ethnostate weaker. It's that simple.
Israel was established as a Jewish ethnostate.
20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs.
I can't see Egypt doing this, didn't the Muslim brotherhood try to overthrow the Egyptian government?
They did and where able to, but the people of Egypt kicked them out for corruption
no? the Muslim brotherhood was democratically elected then the MILITARY kicked them out. The same military dictatorship that's still on today.
Let the fascists fight then.
This is a well-documented plan for the permanent eviction of every last resident of Gaza - A "final solution", if you will:
- Pay Egypt to accept the population of Gaza in the Sinai desert.
- Bomb, maim, and kill every last non-Israeli in the Gaza strip who doesn't leave.
- Annex the strip over a few years claiming it's "helping rebuild".
- Annex a strip of the Sinai desert to prevent Palestinians from approaching Gaza.
- Return settlers to Gaza, and claim victory.
