A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 Israeli border police said the security vehicle had come to extricate Israeli forces under heavy fire, and ran over the body unintentionally, Reuters reported.
“Oops ran over a body”.
“Oops, again”.
“Oops, can’t seem to stop. Definitely accidental though. For sure.”
Happens to the best of us
Don't you hate when you're driving and you accidentally swerve to run over someone?
The Palestinians are completely dehumanized by the Israelis. Very sad to see.
Fuck sad. Get angry. Do something with that feeling. This is fucked and as thinking, feeling human beings we are obligated to act on this.
And when we act, we make other people sad.
Its not antisemitic to say that israel troops in Gaza currently see Palestinians as vermin.
How can you treat humans like this unless you think of them as lesser beings?
if it's antisemitic to say that Israel thinks of Gazans as less than human then I've got a bunch of tweets from a bunch of antisemitic high ranking members of the Israeli government.
Then again, it would be antisemitic to fund Hamas and kill Israeli hostages but the IDF does that, so maybe...
Currently following the ICJ live feed and some lawyer is providing video testimony of Israeli soldiers having some sort of internal challenge for snuff videos of committing atrocities on Palestinians. This is what some misguided people support when they say they are Pro-Israel in this conflict btw.
They’re not misguided. They know what they’re supporting.
The small bit of happiness that the brothers managed to live is completely nullified by the fact a person was still mudered and they were a stranger rushing to the first brother's aid.
I can only hope it was quick. A soul like that deserves the best of us; not this.
the west bank, by the way, not gaza. a place where hamas has never been in charge.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The shooting of 17-year-old Osaid Rimawi in the early hours of last Friday is shown in footage from a security camera in a local shop that was obtained by the Associated Press news agency.
The Israeli military said troops in Beit Rima had opened fire on suspects who had thrown explosives and firebombs, AP reported.
Earlier this week, footage from Gaza emerged that appeared to show a sniper killing a woman as she led a column of civilians trying to reach a safe zone in November.
In the wake of Hamas’s 7 October attacks on Israel, which killed 1,200 people, most international focus has been on the war in Gaza, where the death toll has climbed to more than 23,000 and most of the population is displaced and starving.
The second West Bank video comes from a security camera in the city of Tulkarm, where Israel’s border police said on Monday they had killed three gunmen in a raid to arrest a militant.
The footage shows Israeli security forces shooting at young men, at least one of them armed, as they rush out of a house, Reuters reported.
The original article contains 590 words, the summary contains 188 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I suspect there's a lot of animosity but that's no excuse for inhumanity. May all criminal acts committed be prosecuted, on both sides of this conflict.
that’s no excuse for inhumanity
Nonsense. You can just say "October 7th!" and "Hamas wants to do a holocaust". That's excuse enough. If you say otherwise, you're probably being paid by Iran to do an anti-semitism.
you dropped your /s
😔
Why do we see so many videos of Russian and Israeli military being like that and not American? Is it because the US government is better at controlling the media or does the US military really have a better handle on behavior like that?
You underestimate how little effort israel is doing to hide their war crimes. Their soldiers are mostly untrained Nazi extreme right wingers with a gun.
Smartphones and CCTV cams weren't that common before too.
Before we had Snowden and Assagne that needed to leak western war crimes and we know what happened to those guys.
America as army has since adjusted a bit. I actually commended them for their drone strike that only used knifes to kill one of their targets. Though by giving israel 2000 pound bombs to mass murder children at schools with, that reputation is now completely gone.
The reason America adjusted is not because they found their humanity, but because they found out that if you bomb three entire families to kill one enemy, you create a hundred more enemies. And then the Taliban won.
I mean, there was "Collateral Murder", the video that really put Wikileaks on the map.
But then look at the backlash aimed at Julian Assange as a consequence.
Very good point.
more like neutral conflicts. both russians and israeli are very emotionally involved in those conflicts, americans not so much...
