World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Hamas sure does like attacking civilians.
It's far easier to target those that can't or won't fight back.
They don't have a choice. Either kill civilians or get crushed by the military.
Or give up, which is what Israel and most of the Western world wants to happen.
Well I'm out of options, best go kill more civilians!
They're not out of options. They could surrender, "which is what Israel and most of the Western world wants to happen."
If you want to learn more about the subject, you can start here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_warfare
They could also apply asymmetric warfare strictly against military targets, and guerilla movements in other conflicts have done exactly that.
Nobody forces Hamas to murder civilians. It's something they're doing out of their own volition.
Yeah if I'm fighting with a 6"8 behemoth of a man can I shiv his wife and kids because asymmetrical?
You can try to stay on topic and recognize that your analogy is not a 1:1 representation of the situation at hand.

This what?
THiS IS whAT DEColoniZATIon LoOks LikE!
It's what an insurgency looks like, proto isreali terrorist groups did literally the same shit.
And Israel sure does love culling up to 1.3% of the population of Gaza
Israel's military actions are far too broad and far too disproportionate of a response. They should be allowed to defend their civilians though, however what they are doing now goes way beyond defense.
Man, who knows anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_Palestine?wprov=sfla1
It's especially stupid because it hardens the Israeli people even more against hamas and makes them less willing to work with Palestinians when their government members do stuff like this.
That is literally the point. Violent extremist movements are directly incentivized to make peaceful solutions impossible so that they remain as the only possible option and thus retain power.
Not stupid if the plan is to get Israel to retaliate and pull more factions in
Isn't this just revenge for the two Palestinian children killed a few days ago? https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/29/israel-kills-two-children-in-latest-raid-on-jenin-refugee-camp
I still don't condone murder of civilians, but it's not just for the fun of it.
Both sides do. Israel just gets to hide behind the "civilized" war because they have jets.
