Similar article was being reported by the usual sources who defend everything Israel does, so I'll just drop this in here pre-emptively:

Israel ABSOLUTELY opened fire on a crowd of thousands of innocent civilians with ZERO regard for their health or safety. The fact that thousands weren't killed and that it was merely hundreds IS NOT BETTER.

The story is confirmed, the number of casualties is fluctuating, and Israel needs to be ashamed of this event.

"at least 104 people were killed and more than 750 others wounded."

Gotta conserve ammo until the latest US shipment comes in.

It's a good thing Biden is working on that ceasefire eh?

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Israel will never agree to it.

We know. He's trying to save face by lying to gullible Americans.

"Chaotic scene" is an interesting way to put mowing down hundreds of civilians

[-] wewbull@feddit.uk 2 points 8 months ago

Horrific scene
Stomach turning scene
Shameful scene
Barbaric scene
Criminal scene

Any other adjective but "chaotic".

The IDF was later quoted as saying, "Look what hamas is making us do to you!"

Followed by “the bags of flour were hamas and they were using the civilians as human shields”

Unbelievable. My unwillingness to hand victory to Trump is the ONLY reason I will still vote for Biden.

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

I'm super thankful my primary still hasn't happened. I'll absolutely be voting uncommitted. Here's hoping the only, and least risky method for sending a message within the Democratic party is acted upon - and of course , that our bluff isn't called out for what it is

They're really gonna make me vote for Joe Biden

I thought your country had a good tradition of political assassinations solving this kind of problem

If Trump put as much energy into fighting for the fair treatment of black folks as he has trying to destroy our election process and wreck our democracy, one of our three letter agencies would have already handled it.

Can't scroll on that link.

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.
