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.

He's spamming the same comment because people are jumping to the same conclusions.
What people like you fail to understand is that there is no 'good guys' in this war. What we have is a Freddie vs Jason scenario: two terrorist organisations fighting each other and killing civilians indiscriminately as they go. Did Israel hold Gaza under Apartheid like conditions? Yes. Did they end up inadvertently creating Hamas? Yes. Did Hamas ever need to target civilians? No.
With how bloodthirsty and indiscriminate both sides are, it really could have been either one that blew up the hospital.
What I've seen in this thread is people asking for evidence. If it really could have been Hamas or the another Palestinian group, don't you think they'd be bombing the shit out of Israel? Until there's real proof one way or the other, all we have is he said/she said.
The accusation laid at the feet of Hamas appears to be that it was an errant rocket. And like you said we have zero evidence one way or another
Even to say they are both bad guys gets you downvotes on Lemmy.
Eh. Doesn't bother me. In the words of Rick Sanchez:
"Your boos mean nothing, I've seen what makes you cheer."
Yes, show us that you base your moral compass on what a narcissistic and just generally bad person who is a CARTOON
Who said anything about basing my morals on Rick Sanchez?
My point is, if you're going to downvote me for calling both the Israeli government and Hamas terrorists, then at very best you're looking the other way when one of them is committing their terrorist atrocities. Which I find utterly reprehensible. Therefore I don't care what you think.
Which is exactly what Rick Sanchez is saying in that line.
