A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Laws, international or otherwise, don't mean shit unless someone with the power to enforce them is also willing to enforce them.
Biden thinks this over the top and is going to have a come to Jesus talk with Netanyahu over an ice cream cone
Add it to the list.
They break international law every 2 minutes.
Defund Israel and let them answer to their neighbors on their own. We get nothing from them but headaches and guilt by association. Our funding makes us complicit in their nonstop atrocities. End this grotesque, valueless, one-sided relationship.
Nooooo, you've got to be kidding, you're pulling my leg! A western colonial power didn't respect international law? I'm shocked! Flabbergasted even!
Biden state dept. going to ignore this and ask israel to "open an investigation" into this themselves.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
“The firing at civilians, in this instance clearly identifiable journalists, constitutes a violation of UNSCR 1701 (2006) and international law,” the Unifil report said, referring to security council resolution 1701.
He said the general staff’s fact finding and assessment mechanism, which is responsible for reviewing exceptional events, would continue to examine the incident.
Reuters’ editor-in-chief, Alessandra Galloni, has called on Israel to explain how the attack that killed Abdallah, 37, could have happened and to hold those responsible to account.
The Unifil report was sent to the United Nations in New York on 28 February and has been shared with the Lebanese and Israeli militaries, two people familiar with the matter said.
For its investigation, Unifil sent a team to visit the site on 14 October, and also received contributions from the Lebanese Armed Forces and from an unnamed witness who was present on the hill when the strikes occurred, the report said.
The group of reporters had been filming cross-border shelling from a distance in open area on a hill near the Lebanese village of Alma al-Chaab for nearly an hour before the attack.
