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.

Of course they are running military actions from al-Shifa. They did in 2007, why would they have stopped it?
https://www.hrw.org/news/2007/06/12/gaza-armed-palestinian-groups-commit-grave-crimes
They also fired all non-Hamas doctors in al-Shifa around 2007 after they won their fight against Fatah.

Neither of those articles say that, and in fact your first article mentions Hamas firing on the hospital, not firing from.
That's not true. That's not what the article says.
According to the article, Fatah was firing on the hospital and Hamas was firing from the hospital.
It says both. They fired at hamas, hamas fled to a safe zone and the Fatah fired on the hospital.... And hamas returned fire.
Yes, they returned fire from the hospital.
EDIT: the part you quoted doesn't say who was firing from where.
Aside from third party articles that dispute most if not all of the claims therein specifically the doctors and nurses they reference are a. Not known to be workers there, b. At least one of those doctors was under isreali detention only to be executed later.
If you choose to believe that by all means do but don't expect everyone else to.
I can't independently verify if the source is accurate since I wasn't on the ground in Gaza when this happened. I'm just telling you what the article said. I don't think it's a good practice to lie to people about the claims that sources make.
Fun fact neither was the author, it's taken from Israeli reports.
You don't have to believe Israeli reports to accurately interpret what an article says.
If you know more than what is included in the article you can infer things from that as well, you know being well read on the subject your providing sources for is on you not me.
I wasn't providing a source. I was telling you that your interpretation of the words in the article (that we both read) was not accurate. It makes more sense for you to counter that other person with a different article than to claim it says something that it didn't. Maybe I'm wording this in a bizarre way.
Ok thought experiment, what humanitarian issue do you think they were talking about.
