World News
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.
-
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.

Why doesn't it include women and children counts for both?
Because Al Jazeera is a biased source. If you want to look for yourself, you can go through a partial list of the Israeli fatalities here. Google translate is decent. Not all include an age, and Israelis have many unisex names.
Israel indeed never said it. What I've seen is that some reporter that said that they beheaded babies, and 40 babies were killed, then somehow it for turned to 40 beheaded babies on social media.
So basically Israeli officials never claimed that.

That's good and all but still the claim of "40 babies were beheaded" never existed.
What are you disagreeing with?
Are you trying to say Tal Heinrich is not a spokesperson for the IDF? Because NewsNation, IndiaTimes, Australian Financial Review 9news[dot]au, and the NY Post all refer to her as such. Ohh and theres this piece from JewishInsider
Al Jazeera is widely considered Islamist propaganda, including by the Palestinian Authority/Fatah and governments in the Muslim world. Post a more credible source, if you want people to be less sceptical.
ROFLMAO.
Copy-paste:
Al Jazeera:
And:
Al Jazeera is actually pretty legit. Obviously you gotta be aware because it is literally government funded but let this be the first of many times you will look up a claim made by Al Jazeera and find it to be true.
Btw, you could easily look this up. Why is this my job? I gave you quotes and names so you could look this shit up yourself.

Almost verbatim what Al Jazeera said
Much of Russia Today's coverage is also perfectly factual. They mix the lies in with the truths, to make it less obvious.
Feel free to continue posting al jazeera links, but people will be rightly sceptical. It is not a reliable source.
Because people love it and jerk wildly to the ever higher number of dead people in Gaza.
