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 is more France could do though. Like for example, stop selling metric tones of weapons to Israel. Or again, recognize Palestine as a state, Macron is thinking real hard about it, but he is not quite ready to make a call apparently 🤷
I agree and yet it is more than what my country is doing unfortunately. We have a rapist felon in Drumphkins, a proven government backer of murderers on Canadian soil in Modi, Meloni and her ultra fascism amongst others here for a visit. Our government and private institutions also support the genocide happening to the Palestinians. Numerous journalists and professors have been fired for what they've said or written. Regular citizens as well. A highschool graduate valedictorian in Ottawa was just told by her highschool not to come back to school for the rest of the year for simply recognising the genocide in Palestine at the end of her graduation speech this past weekend. It wasn't even the main topic of her speech but a byline at the end.
We also have a PM that wants to pass laws that put us further into the class war and war on immigrants and minorities that we currently wage even though we thought a few short months ago we were voting against such action. They're all invited and gathered together surrounded by the highest security in the world to discuss all our futures at the G7. They are in a place where they can easily avoid protests or even seeing them and there is no interaction with any of the people they actually represent because they seem terrified someone will hurt or kill them. I wonder why...
Every little bit of resistance, anywhere, is good and should be praised.
The official said Israeli exhibitors were told weeks in advance that they couldn’t exhibit certain types of equipment
‘’Last night, after our booth was set up and ready for the show, we were asked to remove some of our systems from the booth."
Someone is lying.
Methinks it’s the Israelis
My hypothesis, based on previous Israeli behvaiour: (Note that "Israeli" refers here to the institutions of the state and state aligned private sector, where obviously the MIC is directly involved with the state.)
You are told that you cannot exhibit certain systems. By pushing it, you either get two outcomes:
- You will be allowed to break the rules, subsequently having normalized that rules are not made for you.
- You will face consequences for the rule-breaking. You loudly cry wolf and accuse everyone around to have been victimizing you. Your "homefront" will not care about differentiation, as your central narrative is you being victimized by everyone, so you get them to rally behind you. You can sow division and get some leverage by manipulating your "allies" against each other and whip them in line.
This ignores the third possible outcome, which Israel still fails to acknowledge as becoming ever more prevalent:
- Everyone is tired of your shit as you have been pushing it too far too many times and you are actually digging yourself in a hole that will be harder and harder to climb out.
I find it rather implausible that the show organizers would be lying here. They are a private company. If they didn't want Israeli companies there, they could have dealt with that more quietly in advance. Also it should be pretty easy for every other company presenting there to see, which rules have been communicated beforehand. Now whether they would disclose that publicly is another matter, but inside the industry it will be known and talked about.
Yes, and the right answer to "who is lying" is coming with accusations of antisemitism.
