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.

Video of the university being blown up, a clearly very controlled explosion where the IDF easily walked into rooms and placed explosives. Not something people would do when "endangered by Hamas tunnels".
Here's an article with a video of an AP journalist grilling the US state dept on this 1 month ago
Gonna need to split out the links for the video and article at the end. You've put two links and at least Jerboa just doesn't do anything when you click the link.
For the lazy:
Whoops thanks for the correction. I initially placed the video but later found the full article which was more fitting. I did not edit my comment correctly.
No worries pal. Have a great day

Are the “Hamas tunnels” in the room with us right now?
I fire a rocket at my bed each night to make sure there are no Hamas tunnels hiding underneath. I don't check it first, I just know they're there.
Israel has no idea how much they have destroyed their credibility for an entire generation.
I used to read articles about Middle East issues and think that things I was reading in Al Jazeera or similar publications were a little biased. For the most part I used to think that Israel was at least being a good faith actor in their decision making.
Now, I literally do not trust anything that is published in Israel; nor anything that the Israeli government claims is true or said has happened.
If Israeli Times or IdF or Israeli government said that the sky was blue, I would literally go outside to double check, because obviously something weird is going on and the sky is no longer blue.
I also have learned to meet the things Biden says with skepticism. Until Biden takes concrete action to punish Israel or stop the genocide, he will not have my vote. Nor millions of votes from other democrats and Americans whose families are affected by this genocide. A whole generation of young people have had the curtains pulled back. Thank goodness.
Israel and the United States have been lying this whole time. Forcing an apartheid occupation for half a century.
Al Jazeera has long been the best source for news on anything happening in the Middle East (aside from Qatar since that is who funds them). Thr sad truth if the matter is that Israel has been ethnically cleansing Palestine for the past 70 years and Western media has finally decided they can't whitewash it anymore.
I have it on good authority that there are Hamas tunnels under the Knesset.

"Hey bro, chill. We gotta make it look like we're at least trying to pretend it's legit."
Hiram claimed that his troops felt in danger due to intelligence that Hamas had a network of tunnels under the university
You're fucking soldiers in a fucking war zone. You're always in danger, there is no way to be safe in a war. If you think that the enemy is upon you, you change your position—do you even tactic, wimps? Did you learn anything in your basic training, maggots? Fucking cowards, go back home and play counterstrike if you want to feel safe.
Yeah but what if instead you could just engage in monstrous "total war" and kill everyone around you, including men, women and children while destroying everything of any cultural, economic or social value to make way for a future land grab?
Pretty spiffy way not to get shot at as long as your a-ok with genocide.
What do they think will happen if they destroy all infrastructure and institutions, the only result will be a more violent, more numerous, and more effective resistance. Either they see it as an acceptable price for this orgy of violence, they are to stupid to realize this, or their plans are a lot darker than what we are currently seeing.
They love it when people fight back. Especially because America keeps sending them more bombs when that happens. They can "self defense" all over the place.
So... When is he getting punished?
that'll show him for sure
He'll probably have a street named after him in his honor and probably on the land where that university used to be, after israel steals that land too.
Biden Administration aSkiNg fOr cLaRifiCaTioN at the same time as spending literally billions of dollars on more bombs for Israel to drop.
Thus is the army, son! We do not commit war crimes here! Not without direct orders! Do you get me, maggot?
