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.
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.

It's more like can we pick off those 2 or 3 people in that crowd of protesters that are about to do serious harm? If so...yea...do it.
But we don't know if they did...
IDF claims it only hit targets, which we know isn't true, and people standing next to them were blown up too
I just don't understand why anyone would just take the IDFs word, they lie constantly
Ideally you don't take their word, you send journalists and international investigators to the scene to verify.
What you definitely do not do however is take Hezbollah's word.
The same journalists and international investigators that Israel has been blatantly murdering left and right?
Yes.
They kill journalists and investigators too.
Which has happened and they have shown that obviously if someone blows up while walking down the street, the explosion doesn't magically know not to injure anyone else
Leaked videos show people standing right next to them not getting hurt at all
Weird...you'd think you'd have a problem when the other side does it and takes out only non combatants in a crowd.
You know, I bet they have a problem with both! Shooting a rocket at a market is comparable to putting explosives on a possible combatant and detonating it while they are in a market. Let alone 3,000x that latter scenario.
Like I don't care for terroristic acts on civilians no matter where they come from. I'm unironically ok with them mass targeting the rocket sites, though!
There are videos of Hezbollahbros blowing up in a market and people standing right next to them not getting hurt at all. These are a lot different from say a Hezbollah rocket with a large warhead that can kill a dozen kids
Yeah, that's a fair point, honestly.
Because I'm up on the last century of terror in that area. It's just not compatible with western values...at all.
It's weird...all weird. Hezbollah wouldn't think twice of beheading a gay man in the middle of the street, but here on Lemmy they're like some bastion of freedom and justice.
This was a surgical strike against a very evil organization. It's about as humane as it gets when you're fighting an inhumane enemy.
If you ignore all the evidence and just reality in general.
I can do the same and call a lump of lead a gold nugget, but I'm not going to have much luck selling it to anyone in touch with reality.
