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.

We are funding a genocide, plain and simple. I don't care how the media of the government spin it, our tax money is used to kill innocent civilians
I agree with you, but we have been doing it for 20 years in Afghanistan and with America's imperialist history we have been shitheads for our entire existence (not even touching on chattel slavery). America was never great but maybe we can be better if we find a way to hold our politicians accountable.

To shreds, you say?
And how are their wives?
Kirby was earlier seen telling Netanyahu: “I’m gonna count to 3, young man! 1… 2… 2.5… 2.75… 2.8…”
2.9...

Maybe call it special military operation instead of an invasion?
Well would you look at that. 'Hamas did it'.
Just a bit of light invasion.
Way to redraw your red line, Biden. Absolute fucking coward.
Uh so I suppose the Israel is tragically accidenting its way through Rafah then?
The USA is probably wanting Israel to see the tragic accident campaign in Gaza to completion.
And with the land they just discovered, they'd expand their settlements.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
He spoke hours after Israeli forces reached the centre of the city and reportedly seized a strategically important hill overlooking the nearby border with Egypt.Mr Kirby was also responding to questions about an Israeli air strike and a resulting fire on Sunday that killed at least 45 Palestinians at a tented camp for displaced people.Israel says it believes the fire could have been caused by the explosion of weapons stored by Hamas.
Mr Kirby told journalists that images from Sunday's strike, which killed mostly women, children and elderly people, were "heartbreaking" and "horrific".
"There should be no innocent life lost here as a result of this conflict," he added.But he acknowledged that Israel was investigating the incident and said he had "no policy changes to speak to" following the recent events in Rafah.
"We still don't believe a major ground operation is warranted... and we haven't seen that at this point," he said.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described Sunday's strike as a "tragic mishap", while vowing to continue the Rafah operation.But the Israeli military said it was investigating the possibility that the fire was caused by the explosion of weapons stored by Hamas in the vicinity of the strike, which had targeted and killed two senior Hamas officials.US President Joe Biden has made it clear that a full-scale Israeli offensive in Rafah would be crossing a red line, and said earlier this month that some arms supplies to Israel would be halted in the event of a major ground operation in the city.The Israeli military said on Tuesday that its troops were continuing activities against "terror targets" in Rafah, three weeks after it launched the ground operation there.Witnesses said Israeli tanks were stationed at al-Awda roundabout, which is considered a key landmark.Western areas of the city came under intense bombardment overnight on Monday into Tuesday, residents said.The Israeli military has denied reports on Tuesday that its tank shells hit another tent camp in al-Mawasi, on the coast west of Rafah, which local officials said had killed at least 21 people.Videos of the incident posted to social media and analysed by BBC Verify showed multiple people with serious injuries.There was no clear sign of a blast zone or crater, making it impossible to ascertain the cause of the incident.
The location - verified through reference to surrounding buildings - is between Rafah and al-Mawasi, and lies south of the Israeli military's designated humanitarian zone.
Israel has insisted that victory in its seven-month war with Hamas in Gaza is impossible without taking Rafah and rejected warnings that it could have catastrophic humanitarian consequences.The UN says around a million people have now fled the fighting in Rafah, but several hundred thousand more could still be sheltering there.The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began what they called “targeted” ground operations against Hamas fighters and infrastructure in the east of Rafah on 6 May.Since then, tanks and troops have gradually pushed into built-up eastern and central areas while also moving northwards along the 13km (8-mile) border with Egypt.Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza to destroy Hamas in response to the group's cross-border attack on southern Israel on 7 October, during which about 1,200 people were killed and 252 others were taken hostage.At least 36,090 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.

For anyone that had any hope left for Genocide Joe; maybe it's time to admit that this fascist maniac is never going to change course
