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.

"we". mfer is sending other people to war. he is not involved in any fighting. eff outta here
Why do they always send the poor?
A number of high profile Israel failkids have gotten themselves killed doing insane bullshit in Gaza since the bombing started. The war cabinet minister Gadi Eizenkot's son headed a commando raid into northern Gaza in the middle of a bombing run. Very likely he was killed in friendly fire, under orders from his own father.
Much like the 30 year old Brigadier General and his 20 subordinates who killed themselves dynamiting the home of a slaughtered Palestinian family, he's become collateral damage in his country's bloodthirsty rampage of revenge.
OK. Do it.
A) Most people don't believe that the only way Israel is able to fight off the evil Palestinians is because of bid daddy US.
B) The 13,000 Palestinian children you have murdered would've been happy to be able to defend themselves against fingernails.
lol did he think that made them sound strong or tough, or does he realize it makes him sound like an emotional manbaby?
When you play the victim role one (or rather 50) times too many.
According to Israel, everyone is against Israel
Sometimes, when everything is shit, check your shoes instead of telling others that they are shit
And everyone who dares criticizing them is obviously antisemitic.
Especially those self-hating Jews.
If you perfectly obey israel and wag your tail for them you are allowed to exist.
The second anyone pushes back in the slightest against their Nazi regime trying to execute a Holocaust they are instantly slandered as Hamas.
Israel has no qualms throwing loyal dogs that have been supporting them for their entire lives, just look at Genocide Joe getting labeled as Hamas the second he draws any lines.
These are not people that can be negotiated with. The are extremist maniacs.
Finally might be a fair fight
Lmao we had identical thoughts on this.
PILE HIGH THE FINGERNAILS OF THE VANQUISHED OPPRESSOR, THAT NAGLFAR AT LAST MAY UNFURL HER SAILS FOR RAGNARÖK
If those old oral traditions turn out to be prophetic, I wonder if that makes Russia an analogical Jormungandr, eating the remnants of the former USSR and growing ever larger.
Whose Thor in that analogy? Is it Ukraine?
In the hypothetical that an oral Scandinavian tradition told of the world's actual end, some or all of the story could be lost in translation or hallucinations.
Thor fought for the Norse against the great serpents, so maybe it could be symbolic of the EU in a proxy war with China. Idk. We're all just making stuff up, feel free to fill in the blanks, I'm not your prophet.
Then I shall embrace madness and say that Thor equals Mexico.
¡Viva La México!
Maybe the US should just stop arming Israel and give the arms to Gaza instead and see how that plays out.
I can't believe this bullshit has gone on for so long
Nobody can believe the shit has gone on so far with Russia and Ukraine but here we are 2 years later.
This conflict with Israel is looking to go on for just as long if not longer.
For sure, Hamas would never use the weapons for anything else than in a pure defensive manner. Can guarantee it.
Hamas is a wholesome book club.
/S
So Israel is no better than a terrorist organisation is what youre saying
None of the parties should be armed by an external force. This conflict is eating an insane amount of attention but has a miniscule importance for anyone not involved. It's actually insane how many westerners makes up their whole identity by this conflict.
Europe and the US have enough to worry about with themselves. Russia is a direct threat to freedom in Europe, and people here are worrying about some dispute far away that doesn't affect them at all.
Arming any part in this conflict is dumb.
Ridiculous that Biden is changing policy due to students protesting a war just because the aggressor/initiator is losing badly. He’s lost their votes already.
Hoping they take Rafah soon and eliminate every last Hamas jihadist and hopefully get some hostages back alive
Makes me miss lemmy karma
Whats that?
Was like reddit karma keeping track of up/downvotes, could tell an obvious troll from a mile away
Now that you mention it, profiles here only show number of posts and comments. I didn't even notice.
It used to show the karma count on profiles but that feature was removed.
Yes, that's correct, you used to be able to see karma on profiles but now karma does not appear on profiles.
Taking Rafah... Rafah has been occupied for the better part of a century, my dude, they're not taking land to root out terrorists. They're just killing people for the sake of killing people.
Got a source that they’re killing people just for the sake of it? I’m pretty sure they’re after these delightful people: https://thisishamas.com
There’s a post about another mass grave found at a hospital a few scrolls above this
It’s horrible, but there are mass deaths in a war. If Hamas surrendered themselves the war would end.
Actually, the percentage rate at which people are dying in Palestine exceeds that of WWII. They've also got the most dead reporters in such a short timeframe, perhaps ever recorded.
Which figures are you using? Hamas figures can be taken with a pinch of salt. The best approximation I saw was 3:1 non combatants to combatants which as awful as it sounds is actually very good for dense urban warfare.
Hamas are not fighting like a regular countries army would fight. They do not care for their own civilians
Do you fuck the boot before you eat it?
Do you kiss your jihadist family with that mouth? Or did they all go to paradise detonating themselves already?
Jihad is a word often used to describe priests or people faithful in times of hardship, it's even part of the scifi term Butlerian Jihad which describes people who overthrow a robot overlord. It doesn't really indicate connection or relation to any Muslim sect, if that's your misconception. Most of the comments here are probably white agnostic millennials.
If you think Israel does not want any civilian casualties in Gaza, ask yourself some of these questions:
Netanyahu allowed Gaza to arm themselves. Netanyahu ignored warnings of the attack in October. Netanyahu allowed them to enter from multiple directions while the best surveillance system on Earth suddenly became useless. Netanyahu brought you this war.
If your goal was to kill as many civilians as possible without risk to your "own people" nearby, then you would operate this war much like Netanyahu has. I believe he would have napalmed the entire region if the rest of the world weren't threatening sanctions and intervention.
Israel's ministry of peace said on Thursday that the withholding of arms would pose no obstacle to the swift end to the looming Hamas threat. They added - All previous Palestine land will be ready for Israel citizen settlements by next spring. /s In case that's necessary.
Jared Kushner says Gaza’s ‘waterfront property could be very valuable’
He said that if he were in charge of Israel his number one priority would be getting civilians out of the southern city of Rafah, and that “with diplomacy” it could be possible to get them into Egypt.
“But in addition to that, I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there,” he said. “I think that’s a better option, so you can go in and finish the job.”
He reiterated the point a little later, saying: “I do think right now opening up the Negev, creating a secure area there, moving the civilians out, and then going in and finishing the job would be the right move.”
Just need a little Lebensraum and we can get it with this Final Solution.
Sanctions are badly needed.
Send those interceptor missiles to Ukraine instead
Fuck absolutely everything about you, Netanyahu.
