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.

Cool... and how many hostages are in the west bank? What did the west bank do to justify this invasion? Yeah...
Are we really pretending there are no hamas in the west bank?
Are we really pretending Israel is killing Hamas and not any Palestinian it can?
You should be banned for misinformation with such outright lies.

From the very get go it was an absolute disproportionate slaughter of civilians and it has continued to be so since.
The UN statistics on deaths in Gaza have not been updated in months. Do you know why? Because israel has killed everyone that can count the dead and israel is not counting the dead.
Israel does not have numbers on how many people they've killed because they frankly do not care.
Hamas could be you! Hamas could be me! The UN is hamas!
I once saw a hamas at a wendy's. I was so ascared that the hamas was going to get me. Then the hamas just told me to stop starring at them. When I ever so politely yelled at them for hamasing around me, they just kept saying "Fuck off, I'm Mexican", which I think is a new hamas antisemitic slur.
I saw hamas enter a school once. So I called the military to call in an airstrike on the school. 62 kids died but we got the hamas so it was all good.
Better call in a second strike in case those ambulances contain secret hamas operatives.
And no these aren't even fucking exaggeration, Israel loves to blow up ambulances:

You did not answer my questions.
But I'll answer yours. Hamas is not in the west bank you dolt. There is no "pretending" about it. You actually have to be mentally ill to think that somehow "Hamas" has spread out of one of the most heavily guarded regions through Israel and into the next most heavily guarded regions, the west bank.
I guess if you've now taken israel's definition of "hamas" which is all arabs, then yeah, hamas is literally everywhere in the region.
Now, explain why fighting "hamas" involves desecrating bodies and bulldozing homes? How is that counter terrorism? Oh wait, you don't think arabs are human so I guess that makes it ok, right?
What you are claiming is factually incorrect. Hamas is in the West Bank and no amount of denialism or insults will change that fact.

To sum up the reports here. Hamas is in the west bank, ACCORDING TO THE IDF.
And if you read any of the articles you actually posted, you know that there are a lot of problems with just verifying what the IDF claims as true. For example, Wissam Khazem's death where the IDF quickly hid the body and hasn't allowed any 3rd party verification.
Or the fact that in the very same article about Wissam Khazem's death, it goes on to talk about how snipers killed elderly and disabled people in the region.
You see, Israel likes to play this neat trick where every person they kill is suddenly hamas. So, excuse me for not believing israelie intelligence sources when we have crystal clear evidence of them massacring civilians.
But again, are you going to answer my question. How many hostages are in the west bank?
So we should believe Hamas about this, but not when they talk about the Gaza death toll?
So we should distrust hamas on this but not when they talk about the Gaza death toll?
The Gaza death toll numbers are atrocious by any account, not just hamas'.
Look Israel, there's a hamas janitor in the building next to xhrit's apartment complex! Time to level the entire neighborhood so they won't harm anyone.
