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.

Who said it ? Hamas ? So its OK...
I cannot stand with that anymore, how can we have history at school and then live in a world like this. How westerners can be so blind ? Wtf with us the occident. When we will stop to spread our shit.
How is it possible ?
Fuck the capital, fuck religions, fuck belligerents,
They just wanted to live in dignity. And for us, living in this propaganda against the humanity and BTW making the world more bipolar than it is actually, make us wanna die.
Fuck all of this,
/rant
Ty for the share,
If Hamas said it, we should hope they’re lying like they lied about the hospital
Sorry but it wasn't a lie
Yea, it was.
Israel claim Hamas lied, Al Jazeera proved Hamas didn't
US, Canada, France also all said Hamas lied. I don't care what Quarry propaganda said.
Actually they said it was PIJ not Hamas.
Yeah, they said Hamas lied about Israel striking the hospital and 500 being dead. Hamas is still claiming it was Israel and not PIJ hitting a parking lot.
And Gazans are living in a paradise with unicorns around them and no kid is being injured nor killed, and all BBC and other western websites are leftist who spread Hamas propaganda of Photoshopped pictures. Right, right?
Are you trying to deny that Hamas uses photoshopped images as well as movie scenes in their propaganda?
I am reading websites like BBC, which have a more stringent policy of what to publish.
But I think the bigger question is are you denying that Israel is doing atrocities and causing immense suffering to innocent Palestinians, while those are stuck without electricity, water, food or fuel? With nowhere to go and no area that is considered safe from bombardment!

Your article is behind a pay wall. Care to paste the Important parts below?
If you're referring to the number of deaths from that explosion, then that was a mistranslation that media outlets copied and ran with.
Source
TLDR: A more accurate translation of the original statement would have been victims or casualties. Not deaths. But when many news outlets were asked the source of the claim (as they had provided none in their articles) none responded with a source. But the source was later found and translated properly.
Edit: This is not support for Hamas, they can fuck off. It's just pointing out some very sloppy and irresponsible journalism in regards to that specific instance.
Was it also a misquote when Hamas said it was an Israeli airstrike?
There are still people who think it was an Israeli strike. Israel's contradictory evidence, as well as the direction of the rocket, make it much more likely to be Israel.
There are still people who think the earth is flat, so what?
No I'm talking like people that matter. I saw that one analysis a while back that states it's unlikely the rocket came from inside Gaza.
What you saw was a lingering desperate attempt to show that Hamas and PIJ are good guys.

A broken rocket can easily change direction and did, as the video of the blast showed. The direction of the crater doesn’t necessarily indicate the direction of the rocket.
The video of the blast? AFAIK the video did not show any change in direction.
