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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

Okay? That has a lot more to do than you think with how Palestinians weren’t all displaced and starving to death, and still had a functioning healthcare system

Mate, if you drop a bomb on that levels a building in region that has over 5000 people per km², you expect at least dozens dead.

Unless you take special precautions to protect human lives - like roof knocking, text messages, and phone calls informing civilians about the attack.

Are you living in the same reality as us? They’ve been bombing hospitals hospitals and aid workers since the goddamn start

I'm sorry, I had this conversation a million times online already and I'm just tired of repeating myself.

I'm just going to list some facts and leave.

Hamas uses hospitals as bases/warehouses. Same with schools, churches, libraries, etc.
A protected building loses its protected status if used for military purposes.
A lot of aid workers were working for Hamas (the entirety of UNWRA was compromised).
Propaganda works overtime on both sides so even valid targets were painted as crimes.
It's not - and probably never will be - clear how many of the "war crime civilian casualties" were Hamas fighters in civilian clothes who got stripped of their weapons after they died. Same for aid workers.
Hamas is responsible for bringing the war to Gaza, it's also responsible for at least some of the Israeli attacks on refugee camps, by using them for military purposes (we have videos of them shooting missiles from between white tents in the camps)
At least in the beginning, when people were crying "genocide", there was nothing suggesting actual genocide was taking place. Aid was coming in, vaccines where coming in, USA built a whole port to send food in, Israel was making extreme effort at ensuring target buildings were empty before levelling them.
Israel has 100% committed A LOT of crimes, including shooting verified aid workers, reporters or even diplomats.
All people responsible for war crimes should be tried and appropriately punished, but we know that won't happen in the case of Israel because nobody has the balls to touch them.
Netanyahu should be put up against the wall and shot. He's the main reason this whole thing even started.
Now that right-wing psychopaths have practically unlimited power in Israel, and the real genocide has begun, nobody gives a shit, because you people have cried wolf over bullshit for so long.

I'm just going to list some ~~facts~~ bold-faced, already debunked Israeli propaganda and leave.

I can provide evidence if anyone here actually believes this Hasbara nonsense.

[–] Alaknar@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

So, you're saying that calling for Netanyahu's death penalty and stating that Israel has committed crimes is a "bold-faced, already debunked Israeli propaganda"? Yeah, I don't think there will be a discussion here.
