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.

Again Israel attacks anyone and everyone standing next to anyone/anything they claim is Hamas.
Why are we still arming them? Repeatedly?
Because the Christians love it. They get to move the clock forward on their rapture and see Muslims die. They consider it a fantastic thing. Because they're monsters.
They consider it a fantastic thing. Because they're monsters.
Infuriatingly, that about covers most of world politics 😮💨
Oh is that why Biden arms them?
Let’s not pretend this is just a few extremist Christians, its much deeper than that.
So do something about it, Christian god dammit!
Because it's the same usa that made the illegal,war in iraq, killed millions and tortured prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
Because the primary export of the US, in terms of percentage of GDP at least, is weapons.
This is what you get for trying to help sick children.
The stupidest part for me is Israel's explanation. The trucks were under attack from terrorists so we bombed the trucks.
-What's the difference between pack of terrorists and humanitarian aid convoy?
-How the fuck should I know? I'm just a drone operator
"who put natural language processing in the automated targeting system?"
And why is it set to Klingon???
I still don’t truly understand how the international Community still lets this bullshit fly. How many humanitarian missions hospitals and reporters are they gonna be allowed to kill before somebody fucking does something about this?
It's just the US and it's brothers in colonialism at this point.
Because the US uses its Security Council veto to prevent the UN from taking action.
And Palestine isn't in NATO.
What other international organization could intervene? The Arab League? The last time Arab countries fought a war against Israel to try to liberate Palestine, they lost. (And remember, Israel has nuclear weapons now, while no Arab country does.)
Who do you expect to do what?
Should the West and NATO invade Israel?
Pull absolutely all support and funding, permanent ban on weapons transfers, deactivate their F35s. International financial sanctions.
There are so many things you can do between nothing and full on invasion. Your question cannot possibly be in good faith.
IDF should rename
Israel Occupation Forces is becoming popular on social media.
They only need to scooch that 'D' in the acronym over three letters, and I think they'll have something.
No they should have two new branch of force so it become :
Israel Colonising Force for West Bank
Israel Defence Force to defend Israel
Israel Extermination Force for Gaza
Israel is evil. News at 11
IOF Source: Trust me bro
The last time they claimed this was because the convoy had armed protection and to the IOF any presumed Palestinian with a gun is a terrorist. Investigated themselves and found no wrong doing. US agrees and sends more bombs and congratulates the apartheid state for defending itself from aid workers trying to stop the genocide.
