“Despite our utmost efforts not to harm innocent civilians, ~~last night there was a tragic mistake,”~~ we bombed a densely populated refugee camp which we previously designated as a safe zone and burned women and children alive - Netanyahu said Monday in an address to Israel’s parliament.

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.

"Whoopsie, my bad. Shit happens, right? Hahaha, hilarious. Anyways, we need some more weaponry to throw at civilians, got some?"
Biden: This isn't a genocide, so sure
Disclaimer: Voting Biden because Trump will expand the genocide to vulnerable groups here and usher in christian nationalism.

Snap! I actually and literally lol I'd. Laughing to keep from crying? It's all so absurd!
Israel making an awful lot of "mistakes" lately...
It only becomes a mistake when legacy media fail to cover it up and report on it instead.

The "tragic mistake" in his head is that he couldn't kill more. Because he is a sociopath. Fuck Bibi.
In the dialect of Arabic spoken in my country, Morocco, the term "bibi" means turkey, the animal.
So yeah, Benjamin Netanyahu is a turkey. And I'm telling the Israeli people to do the same thing the Dutch did: eat their prime minister.
Sure and the holocaust was just a big oopsie!
30k+ mistake. Yeah right. The slaughter continues. This was not the first and it won't be the last
He's right. Selling him the weapons to do it was a tragic mistake.
It was a total coincidence that it happened right after Hamas fired rockets at Tel-Aviv for the first time in months. \s

USS Liberty was also a mistake they said... That's how we got into this shit in the first place.
It was a mistake. The mistake was the US not cutting all ties with Israel immediately.
How many more dead will it take to sedate Israels blood lust.
All of them. It's a genocide.
He wanted them to starve instead so they won't count as "war victims" according to the established rules.
Now they officially count as civil victims of the war, which will be a key variable for the ICC.
"sorry you saw me killing more kids"
"look what you made me do"
Funny, when it first happened they had officials saying this was because rockets were fired at Tel Aviv from Gaza.
It's pretty clear that the people in Gaza are being collectively punished for Hamas attacks. Shoot rockets at us, we'll shoot our rockets at people living in tents in your territory. That will teach you.
He considers it a tragic mistake that he got caught, not that it happened.
Damn, a lot of "mistakes," fell like so dumb people running this shit.
How many times has he used that excuse so far?
If Silia Kapsis calls you a liar, then you are a liar. (I'm referring to Benny Net n' Yahoo btw)
Netanyahu did not elaborate on the error.
Yeah, that tells a lot.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people.
Israel insists it adheres to international law even as it faces scrutiny in the world’s top courts, one of which last week demanded that it halt the offensive in Rafah.
An initial investigation found that the soldier had responded to an exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants, Egypt’s state-owned Qahera TV reported.
The militant group launched a barrage of rockets Sunday from the city toward heavily populated central Israel, setting off air raid sirens but causing no injuries.
Separately, the chief prosecutor at the International Criminal Court is seeking arrest warrants against Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as three Hamas leaders, over alleged crimes linked to the war.
Associated Press writers Zeke Miller in Washington, Kirsten Grieshaber in Berlin, Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Colleen Barry in Rome contributed to this report.
