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.

... According to Hamas which has demonstrated with evidence that they lie in almost every instance to get ahead of the narrative. So far there has been no evidence that any Israeli organizational narrative has been false.
So UNICEF has already stated that the Gaza ministry of health numbers are accurate and can be taken as is. I can link the article.
The video they're using for evidence literally claims that a random calendar is a Hamas guard shift list.
Yes, war in an urban environment is bad. This is why it took a literal terrorist attack to prompt Israel to do it. There's nothing that could be done to simultaneously win the war and prevent civilian casualties of this magnitude. I am a literal military strategist and there is no way possible considering the tunnel systems.
Ah yes, "it wasn't them. And if it was, it was unavoidable. And if it was avoidable, they deserved it"
"Hamas bombed their own hospital" - Israel Bombed it, according to independently-verified Channel 4 sources. Followed by openly bombing of multiple other hospitals. "Leaked Audio" of hamas taking blame was doctored and spliced from multiple sources.
"Hamas beheaded 40babies" - Backtracked to one baby, who wasn't decapitated at all, but in an area where Israeli helicopter gunners admit to blindly firing into civilian neighbourhoods for hours.
"Hamas killed 1400 civilians" - Backtracked to 1200 recently, including a vast majority being military personnel. Many of the civilians were likely killed by Israeli crossfire or intentionally via "Hannibal doctrine".
"Hamas uses tunnels under Al-Shifa" - Literally only a shitty blender video as "proof". Other attempts such as the above use what Israelis claim is a "guard shift pattern" on a wall, which is actually just translated into a calendar with no names on it all.
Not going to bother with people like you who wake up giddy with excitement to write off the lives of millions of people because they think there's some kind of elaborate military apperatus being deployed in hospitals when the reality is that almost every IDF accusation is a confession of the kind of behaviour their own brutes have been orchestrating for decades.
At this point, you're willingly choosing Israel's narrative out of malice, not stupidity.
whoa those are a lot of claims X3
ehehe~ i'm really curious bout this lil' one tho, just this one:
i watched all available videos during october 7th and didn't see no helicopter or idf shooting civvies :o
I'm glad you've confirmed your biases based on a few minutes of Israeli-published footage of battles that were hours in length.
PS: get that UwU speak the fuck out of here, prick, you're trying to justify the deaths of thousands of kids while larping as a fucking vtuber. Eat shit.
ehehe, silly~ hamas uploaded the footage online themselves, haha!
so binary~ pointing out an inconsistency isn't automatically making out with israel. but it don't change the fact no helicopter was shooting civilians or the idf was shooting their own civlians X3
