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.

MODERATORS
So some facts first:
To be frank: there is no reason to believe ANYTHING they claim.
and to be really blunt: by the Israeli dead baby standard many of you folks seem to require and obviously have established („show us the beheadings“, „show us the burnt corpses“, „death to israel“ and of course „death to amerikka“) I call the whole story a lie until proven otherwise by an independent investigation.
The problem with your reporting standards, are in an active war zone we can't satisfy them, so it won't be until everyone in Gaza is dead, and verified by a third party, that you will believe terrible things are happening in Gaza. It's a catch-22. The people having terrible things happening to them, can't prove they're happening to them, because you don't trust them.
Independent third party is aren't allowed to visit, because the belligerents don't want third parties verifying anything.
It's a terrible situation, but I think it's unquestionable the civilians are suffering.
That's not the bug, that's the feature (with respect to reporting standards)
I have several ways of interpreting your comment, personally I don't think it matters who blew up the hospital and if they intended to do it. Bad shit like this is inevitable with this pressure cooker situation, and we shouldn't be worrying about blame but how to end the situation.
By your standards there's no reason to trust Israel. They literally bombed an AP building and killed one of the most respected journalists in the Arab world Shireen Abu Akleh right before committing more war crimes in 2022
Not to mention the current prime Ministers history for corruption charges
There's actually pictures and video this time with the hospital though.
I say everything is fabricated until proven otherwise by a independent investigation
Who do you trust as an "independent investigator" if not yourself?
