They can't stop lying, no matter how stupid they sound. It is a real national mental illness.

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.

Wow, that's a really bad excuse to murder 20 people. Not that there is really a good excuse for murdering 20 people, but this one is especially weak.
It's tragic when the the made-up justifications for war crimes are so bad. The "Hamas surveillance camera" (news camera) wouldn't justify the death of 20 people at any time. The IDF could have made up any lie they wanted and the Israeli public and international supporters would have believed it, and they chose to admit they murdered 20 people for a fucking camera.
Whst's also tragic is AP spreafing idf excuses and did not even bother condemning israel and mourning the journalists killed by the terrorist state
From the article:
Without offering evidence, Israel has in the past identified emergency responders who work under the Hamas-run government as militants to be targeted, including in the killing of 15 medics in March, when Israeli troops opened fire on ambulances in southern Gaza.
The information is there if you read it.
mourning the journalists killed by the terrorist state
Mourning the dead has no business being mixed in with news in a regular article - that belongs in an obituary or editorial. It sounds like you want the AP to compromise its journalistic integrity by offering unambiguous condemnation instead of cold facts.
BS when someone murder your journalist willingfully there is no space for nutrality
Being biased (i.e. not being neutral):
- does not accomplish as much as you think it does, because the plain facts allow people to find the truth already. Only a minority of people will be swayed
- does harm that you are ignoring: it reduces trust in the outlet, and in journalism in general.
So yes, there is absolutely space for neutrality; indeed it is critical.
Stupid apology. Whatever is accomplish something or not doesn't matter, israel murdered their journalists they should condemn it it is the human and professional thing to do
Your comment is not in understandable English.
News soon:
"A school and its surrounding residential area has been leveled in Gaza by 35 airstrikes last night, because a Hamas leader once looked at its general direction"
A fucking camera?!
Like IDF would not be able to just hack those without casualties…
I don't know what is more terrifying:
Either the IDF is full of shit, and they are calculating murderous maniacs.
Or they actually thought that it was a "Hamas camera" (in broad daylight, on top of a hospital, with like a live stream on Reuters) and they are such idiotic cowards that they thought that bombing a fucking hospital was an appropriate response.
In fact forget it, with this press release they are confirming they are both stupid cowards AND calculating murderous maniacs.
The AP on the other hand, is doing quite precisely the thing where they report that one side says it's raining and the other says it isn't. Look out of the fucking window and report the truth, you fucking bootlickers.
I don’t believe you.
Reminds me of a quote from Mike Stoklasa: We blew up the pyramids because someone was bitten by a snake.
Shameful headline
Twice?!?
