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.

Alright, let's get an independent to verify, but it's looking pretty damning for Hamas at this point.
Yeah, they didn't shoot that, it was the Palestinian Islamic Jihad according to the evidence delievered by Israel. Not the same groups, although they coordinate sometimes. But Hamas went right out of the gate blaming Israel despite apparently knowing better, and that's just not a good look at all if true.
The tankies still like them because USA = bad and Israel = USA
Tankies also once again allied in mind with the Nazis.
Doing literal genocide denial because someone on hexbear made a point you didn’t like and you got called out for your response.
Sad bro
Blatantly lying all over the Internet and media is actually a semi-good look these days, unfortunately.
Oh damn, lying online might tarnish Hamas's reputation?
Hey guys, specifically targeting, torturing, and murdering hundreds of civilians was fine - but we should really draw the line at lying online. That's just barbarous.
Does it? Israel is the last person to trust. I wouldn't even trust them if they admitted it
Lol. But you would trust these Hamas psychos?
I mean an Israeli minister actually went out and said "we hit a Hamas base". That's also pretty damning.
Edit: To correct myself, I have no idea why I thought he was a minister. He's part of Netenyahu's "digital team", whatever that is.
Source for that?
Unfortunately it's a now-deleted tweet but there.

Dude, have you done like, any research on this guy? This guy is not a 'minister.' He is basically tech support. He is (or was) on the digital team. Not in the military, not an official, not a spokesperson for Israel in any capacity. He is an Israel fanatic influencer.
I have seen this posted everywhere as somehow 'proof' but it's a fricken influencer who jumped the gun and then got told to shut up because he had his info wrong and deleted the tweet.
This is proof of absolutely nothing except influencers are cancer.
If anyone can clarify what 'digital team' even means, that would be great. It could mean this guy is in charge of photoshopping out lens flares.
Too easy to buy a blue tick and cause rampant misinformation to start flying. Twitter used to be pretty good for breaking news, now it's impossible to trust any accounts without a lot of research.
Okay fair enough. I misremembered him as a minister for some reason. Also yeah, what's a digital team?
Both sides have online propaganda teams to influence people's opinions on the conflict.
Which may or may not be this guy, but yes.
This comment is worthy of upvotes guys, mistake was admitted.
I mean, could he have been refering to a different location? According to the Israel briefing, there was no activity of theirs at that time in the area of the hospital. I imagine there is a lot going on on both sides in all kinds of locations at all times at the moment.
