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.

Well that makes up for the other 81 dead.
Oh wait, no it doesn't at all.
Whether there were any legitimate targets is entirely inconsequential. They're after a body count. Nothing more. They just wanna stack corpses.
I think their AI targeting machine was programmed to accept a 1 to 100 ratio of Hamas vs civilians. I guess stuff like that makes them the most moral army in the world.
Which is expected from the only democracy in this barbaric part of the world amirite
They are still a democracy until the fascists in power take over the judicial (bibi was trying) and cancel elections altogether. The left and the army want bibi to go. However, the government can't fall, because bibi doesn't want to go to jail and the ultraorthodox far-right will collapse government if there is a cease-fire...meanwhile Israel can't be pressured from the outside because the US has bipartisan unconditional support and the EU is MIA...threats by Iran only embolden bibi to start a fight so they can destroy Iran's nuclear tech...
Either the army rebels and demands new elections🙄...or someone amnisties bibi on condition of him calling new elections and going into exile😑 ...I'm making shit up at this point...
Oh mate - that just would make them authoritarians. They're already fascist.
As of now the Palestinian health authorities haven't released the names of those 81 that are allegedly dead. Usually they don't take long at all. In the meantime the IDF has released the 19 terrorists that totally weren't hiding inside a school and are now dead. I assume most of those 81 don't exist.
Why do you need to see a list of dead people's names as if people aren't dying when there's a war going on?
Hamas is known to inflate the number of dead and injured, cry wolf over and over and, in general, lie in order to make Israel and The IDF look bad. All while painting themselves as poor, innocent sheep.
The first thing they did was to accuse The IDF of killing over 100 children by dropping a 2 ton bomb in the middle of a school.
As we can see, neither the number of dead, the munitions used or the demography that was targeted (Hamas militants vs children) are factually correct.
We are, in fact, at war with a terrorist organization. Targeting them while trying to minimize civilian casualties is acceptable and is what's actually happening.
It's "known" that Tim Walz quit the military so he couldn't see combat, even though that isn't true.
That's the thing about stuff that is "known."
Are you okay?
Sure, you?
