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.

We're gonna find those WMD's any day now boys
It's strange zero evidence has been provided for their claims except for a video of a militant with an RPG near another hospital.
What's strange is that they are currently in the hospital and are failing to provide any evidence of that tunnel network. All they seem to do is find magically "find a stash of weapons that Hamas surely just forgot" but none of those tunnels they keep talking about
There is also this:
what's that strange white date? :3
the idf built the expansion and underground plans for the hospital back in the 80s
they also showed tunnels in the other hospitals. plus it hasn't even been a day yet and the IDF isn't in the entire hospital
Bro they showed a elevator shaft in a shot up building 200metres from a hospital, didn't zoom down the shaft.
Stop claiming they showed evidence. They did not. Everything israel shows keeps getting debunked in like 6 hours. You're just IDF shilling if you repeat this shit.
well that wasn't al-shifa hospital. but why does them zooming in matter?
Because if they'd zoom down the shaft you'd see an elevator and not a tunnel network.
Also notice the two iron rails on the side of the "tunnel" that very clearly guide the elevator. And the pulley of course.

and an elevator shaft can't be a tunnel or secret passage underground?
Sure it can. Now if only they would lower the camera into the shaft or descend the ladder so we could see this amazing tunnel network! Surely this deceisive evidence would be presented as soon as they could right?
they've shown the tunnels before tho
We know there are tunnels. Even Hamas has shown their own tunnels.
The claim here is that there is a giant Hamas command center with tunnels underneath the hospital which is the excuse israel used to bomb the hospital. The killed hospital staff said there are no tunnels there.
They said they had conclusive evidence before the bombing. So far we're seeing very little evicence of israeli war crimes and it looks like they were just terror bombing civilians in a hospital.
You're literally arguing with someone who denies that the IDF bombs hospitals. All I'm saying is that lemmy.ml would've banned his ass for repeatedly denying established facts...
He seems to be at least a bit genuine because he's linking sources. Maybe he's just a soul lost in the IDF sauce.
very curious to hear where your source comes from, since there have been no reports thus far of IDF bombing hospitals.
They have bombed the hospital.

Also reports of tank shots firing into the building from Aljazeera phone calls with doctors on site however those are without video evidence
And israel killed all ICU patients and multiple premature babies by blockading the hospital and preventing it from getting supplies.

That was a flare shell that unfortunately fell onto a civilian area. Accidents happen in wars, especially in such a densely populated area. Militants have their fair share of accidents as well, where their missiles, unfortunately, fell onto a civilian area.
Al Jazeera cannot be trusted to be factual and impartial. They have Clear bias and Poor credibility. They are funded entirely by the Qatari government. The same Qatar government that houses Hamas leadership. The same Qatar that meets with media mongrels and funds twitter. The same twitter that is notoriously known for being astroturfed. Submissions from Al Jazeera aren't even allowed on this community because of all this.
Isn't blame on both Hamas and Israel for this because they are both fighting around a hospital?
Israel has the most modern weapons out there I do not believe in mistakes. Especially since they called the hospitals multiple times to say they were going to bomb them and they all needed to evacuate (see magically disappear)
America wanted Hamas in Qatar to not have to talk through Iran.
Aljazeera is plenty credible. While their fact checking can leave to be desired, they are not fabricating evidence like the IDF is. Furthermore almost all journalists reporting in Gaza show video evidence. You seem to ignore that I specifically pointed out that the call does NOT have video evidence and thus is not the most credible source, though it is very likely that it is true.
Hamas is not blocking any supplies. Only israel is blocking supplies.
You can blame Hamas for Oct 7 because they did that, but blaming literally everything israel does on Hamas is nonsense.
And your sources?
