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.

The refugee camp bombing was widely reported and Israel publicly said it was them. Israel said the dozens of civilians killed were worth it to kill a Hamas commander.
Israel also publicly acknowledged they bombed an ambulance convoy, they claim the ambulances were used to transport Hamas militia.
You can choose to believe or disbelieve them on their motivations (I am very skeptical, personally), but these aren't unsubstantiated claims. These are publicly acknowledged strikes.
And with that many bombs flying around, so many buildings levelled, of course there's going to be journalists around the place getting hit.
Do you have any source better than the Guardian? They're not exactly reputable with ongoing conflicts.
The source is hamas themselves--Not very reputable, as reputable as the IDF saying they didn't do it.
According to the IDF, militias inside of Gaza are indeed using Ambulances and medical gear to disguise themselves. However, as previously mentioned--not very impartial.
So instead, here's footage showing a medic running to a downed militant, just to take the rifle to another militant while leaving the downed militant. Both militants are in civilian clothing.
While disputed, in 2014, Amnesty International claims that the hospital is being used as a Hamas base. It's worth noting that the Hospital itself was originally a military barracks.

Both parties killed innocent civilians. And both parties wants this war to keep going.
By both I mean Hamas and Israel.
Iran said yesterday that they’ll keep a front with Israel. And Israel have no intention to stop the violence until they occupy Gaza and West Bank.
That is one of my sources, yes.
Ok, great, we've gone from "Where's the evidence?" to "Israel is justified doing those things".
I don't think anybody outside the Hamas command structure or the IDF command structure can conclusively and unequivocally claim they know whether these strikes were or were not justified, it all comes down to which sources you believe.
I'm glad we've made progress though and you acknowledge that these things happened.
You're mistaken if you think that's justification--No, it's an explanation.
What? Do you want me to post a disclaimer that Israel is evil every post or something? Hope you do the same~
"Do you have evidence"
"No wait I don't mean actual evidence, stop. That I'm here to spread IDF propaganda"
"Oh wow I can really make anyone say anything if I make up what they say"
