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.

Non-credible biased source that has been known to habitually lie to further their narrative. Probably doing it again here.
Again, notoriously untrustworthy source. It's like trusting American cops to investigate each other. You're not getting the truth that way.
Common precursor to a bunch of lies
Much more likely
Surprise surprise, more IDF lies that shifts the blame away from themselves, contrary to the reports of more credible sources.
Doesn't that description match Hamas as well? "Gazan health ministry" is practically Hamas.
The casualty numbers and causal claims of the Gazan health ministry have repeatedly been judged consistent with the findings of neutral third party NGOs.
Besides, the health ministry might be nominally under Hamas control, but the major clinics are run by the UNRWA and staffed by doctors, nurses and medical administrators, not Hamas terrorists.
Gaza Health Ministry statistics are credible and used by everyone including the Israeli government and military. Athough the Israelis will publicly dispute the statistics, they use them internally as the numbers are good.
You will only believe what you want to believe, right? You will only look at information you agree with.
That's rich coming from someone quoting a tweet about statements from the IDF about something that happened in Gaza 😂
Quoted in a string that is very much is to the contrary. Rich, huh. You want video?
Considering the source, no thanks. Video can be deceptively edited and otherwise doctored, which the propaganda arm of the IDF have been known to consistently do.
That you trust the IDF as a source in spite of their well-documented history of constant distortions amd outright fabrication makes it clear that you readily swallow horse shit and don't understand why people don't automatically agree that it's actually prime beef.
That's right, you only look at sources that agree with you. The contrary view is not considered and in fact discounted. You don't want to see it because you may be deceived, when in fact you never consider you may already be deceived. Listen, I really don't care what you believe. I am simply disrupting the chat box people like you enjoy. Carry on.
Not trusting a source with the reliability equivalent of The Daily Mail has nothing to do with whether I "agree". That's just a strawman you keep trotting out because you can't defend your awful source.
Bias and source skepticism are not the same thing and pretending so is the refuge of people promoting poorly sourced bullshit.
