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 could be true that they don’t target the press. They just happen to target every man, woman and child in the region?
Considering they killed their own hostages waving a white flag I do agree with you.
The only technical issue is that if someone wearing "press" killing them should consider targting journalist.
This is still not precise. They are targeting Hamas and other terrorist organizations, with full knowledge that they will be killing more than just them.
Journalists are being targeted tho.
This is the deadliest conflict EVER for journalists.
Shits bad when the IDF manages to kill more people in this war than the Taliban managed in 5 years in Afghanistan.
It seems to me, according to your source, that IDF has been killing Hamas-employed journalists. Which kind of is what they said they would do... kill every member of Hamas. Whether they were really a journalist or just listed as such so as to make Israel look bad when they kill them, I don't know.
Do you have proof Hamas employed journalists?
Did you read source you linked yourself?
Yes. Do you know the difference between Al Jazeera and Hamas?
Usually when journalists are covering the war, they are attached to some military group which protects them. I guess it is not an option for Hamas.
That only happens when journalists are embedded. Not all journalists covering conflicts are embedded tho.
And those are in huge risk to get killed especially if they are getting into the zone of active action. I guess due to impossibility to be embedded with Hamas, there are more non-embedded journalists in this conflict.
AFAIK the IDF doesn't have embedded journalists either ... so I'm unsure why you are focused on what Hamas isn't doing when the IDF isn't doing it as well.
Interesting, I did not know that. I guess Israeli journalists would not go to Gaza across the conflict line. And it is arguably safer right now on Israeli side.
This was a drone strike, how is it not precise? It was directly controlled and manned by the drone operator and the journalist vehicle was targeted by the drone.
You think they will know for sure exactly who is in vicinity of the target, or can never make a mistake?
They seem to be making many mistakes, frequently, always in favor of killing journalists or the family of journalists. Especially those connected to Al Jazeera.
