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 IDF is not a regular professional military. There’s a volunteer force, and a massive reservist element who were working in IT, finance, a bakery, etc before being called up. Someone whose life focus is not the military, is not going to be as capable as a professional
Gaza is also a free fire zone atm (reportedly). Hamas & Al-Quds have been doing some WILD* ambushes throughout the fighting, so semi-trained and jumpy troops are going to shoot at movement and shapes instead of discriminating between enemy combatants, civilians, or the hostages they (ostensibly) want to return.
It's a good excuse, bullshit but believable bullshit.
To be clear, the deaths of civilians and reporters is reprehensible - especially as the IDF severely limits credentials for independent foreign reporters whilst pumping out propaganda via IDF press officers.
I vehemently disagree on how they’re conducting this war and the opacity around plans for land, administration, reconstruction of the decimated infrastructure or the fucking civilians for that matter. Gazans need a meaningful future that isn’t apartheid or genocide, and the only talk from the war cabinet is a long war
I blame the IDF for dragging young people into this shitty war. They don't need to be there killing other young people.
Except for the times they admitted it happened in the past.
It's almost like the journalists are embedded in military units....like they are regularly in other countries
Some spies passing as journalists =/= all journalists are spies.
The journalists Israel kills frequently are well away from military action and clearly dressed in UN Press armour.
Got any source to show every journalist killed in Gaza was as you suggest?
I didn't say every journalist and I didn't say only in Gaza. But let's pick a fairly recent top 3:
I'll let you look up the names and find sources. I've already put far more effort into this conversation than you have.
So no source at all but you took the time to somehow make out that Koshogi's brutal murder was an Israeli thing? Look whatever you think of Israel they probably don't have enough pull to dismember someone in a foreign embassy 😂
Hah yes anyone who asks for a source or questions the Israel/Saudi Arabia collusion on Koshogi's death must be Israeli psy ops!
Though that's probably what someone in Israeli psy ops would say right!? 😂
You aren't genuinely asking for sources, you're trolling and playing games. Nothing about your position is genuine. The only question is what your motive is.
You got caught lying and now you're defensive. It's ok mate. Relax.
Lmfao where did I lie? Seems like you're losing the plot after being called out.
Dude you're a riot.
A source is a reasonable request for a claim. You seem incensed that anyone would dare as anything you say must be true. Those Israeli psy ops are cunning! I'm probably asking because I helped the Saudis with Koshogi and you're onto me 😂
Now who's deflecting? You called me a liar, where did I lie?
Finding a source for what I've said is as simple as typing it into Google. I'm not doing that for you, you're not contributing in good faith here so you don't deserve my effort in your service.
If you have a point to make, then make it. Refute my point. Don't just say "source?" without actually saying anything of any meaning and then act like you "win" because I won't jump through your hoops.
Hitchens razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."
Just say out loud, 'Israel and Saudi Arabia colluding' sometime 😂. Fun chat honestly 😂
Are you saying Israel did not authorise the sale of Pegasus to Saudi Arabia?
Are you saying that the NSO does not have full oversight of the use of its tool by its customers?
I'd appreciate your insight.
You're just a sad troll.
I'd say the fact that the headline explains the journalist in question has a story to their name probably means they were a legit journalist, not a "spy".
It's quite the jump to say ALL murdered journalists must be dressed correctly at all times, or else it's fair to assume they were an enemy combatant. How many legit journalists do you think it's okay to kill?
So that's no source then....got it
Lol, someone doesn't want to do your research for you means it isn't true.
You're just being a sad troll.
Ah yes, that classic trolling method, asking for a source.
Super common request. You've made it yourself.
Name calling just seems desperate bud.
The source is the article we are all commenting on you absolute buffoon. If you click the link, a picture of the journalist in question wearing the press gear in question will be right there on your screen.
Do you need me to click the link for you as well?
I trust Zionists about as much as I trust Nazis at this point.
