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.

Are these real people you are referring to or straw men?
Whatch journalists actually visiting Gaza to get a full picture of the situation instead of repeating western media propaganda. The situation in palestine is disgusting. Gaza Fights for freedom
I have a dual citizenship friend that used to work as a journalist in the strip.
He still has ribcage damage from getting drop kicked by an Israeli soldier. A fellow Jewish citizen of Israel.
Now, imagine how Palestinian's are being treated.
Two days ago thirty Palestinian children were reported dead from Israeli bombings. Last night another Israeli attack hit the Palestinian concentration camp and killed 300 more people, news only listed them as civilians and didn't count the number of children killed.
Now, I have nothing but sympathy for the Israeli citizens caught up in this. But the authoritarian right wing regime in Israel is co-responsible. Occupying a territory for 70 years, putting the people living there in concentration camps, and abusing them in perpetuity; creates a situation for terrorists and extremists to proliferate.
And retaliatory bombings of civilian families will create more of the same.
The only logical conclusion of Israel's actions in modern history is that their goal is to radicalize Palestinians, so the resulting terrorism can be used to justify the continued genocide and annexation until there is no Palestine.
We're already seeing this along with language being used to dehumanize Palestinians.
I don't know if that's the aim. I tend to think in terms of will to power when it comes to demagogues.
It’s not like members of their government are on record admitting to such things, nor did Israel play a key role in the foundation of hamas.

Both, probably. It's how propaganda and human shields work, but pretending the IDF never causes casualties is kinda nutter butters.
Shooting straw men would be tough because bullets would go straight through with no resistance.
At this point you don’t need to provide names and triple sourcing for the mere mention of Israel killing civilians including children.
I've seen a lot of videos of Hamas killing civilians, Including children
I don’t doubt it. But can you show me one of Hamas killing children?
There's been plenty of references in the tabloid media today of babies decapitated or otherwise mutilated by Hamas in the attack on Kfar Aza
I'm holding out for a more reputable source like reuters to explicitly say it though.
I have personally seen convincing videos/pictures of Hamas (targeting/having targeted) civilian cars (Which as far as your average Hamas militant is concerned could contain children), The elderly at bus stations, Young women. So extending that list of atrocities to include baby murder doesn't seem that far fetched
Oh I don’t doubt it. But that’s the thing with Hamas: they do enough bad stuff that people will believe anything of them. So they can be awful and still also the subject of fog of war lies at the same time.
I’m concerned with the hysteria I see around them. They behead babies! They rape women on top of piles of dead bodies! Because that hysteria is designed to ready the world to excuse absolutely anything Israel might do next.
And let’s face it: Israel kills a lot of kids too. And they have a hell of a lot more power to kill kids than Hamas.
the difference being Israel isn't targeting kids, Hamas hide behind them
Here you go. thought it would take a bit of time for the pics to start coming out
NSFL obviously
spoiler
Horrifying.
I hope everyone feels the same when they see Israel vaporizing 10-story buildings in dense urban districts. How many babies turned to paste in that rubble? Yet somehow Israel has actually released videos like this with pride to show the strength of their wrath.
WHAT ABOUT, WHAT ABOUT, WHAT ABOUT
i hope every day that Hamas stop using civilians of all ages as human shields
You cannot decry one side of a LITERAL WAR and cry whataboutism on any mention of the other side.
I wasn’t even engaging in whataboutism. If I were trying to excuse Hamas because Israel does similar things, that would be whataboutism.
I’m saying they’re both terrible and you seem to be saying NO ONLY LOOK AT ONE.
