*again.
Israeli forces fire on UN food agency's team in Gaza again.
Israel is a rogue state at this point, but everyone in power keeps pretending they're not because wE nEeD sTaBiLiTy In ThE rEgIoN or some such utter fucking nonsense.
the "clearly marked" humanitarian vehicle
They're white. Except for the massive black markings. I don't think it can get much more obvious without bringing beacons and a sky writing display in.
UN prepares the extra angry pen for this letter
They say Hamas are terrorists because they attack innocent civilians and that may be true, but it seems that by the same metric, aren't the IDF also terrorists for attacking innocent civilians in clearly marked vehicles ?
Verily i say more, If we go by how much civilian infrastructure and casualties have been committed, one side is clearly acting more strongly within the definition of terrorist than the other.
But the idf aren't brown????
Worry not: Biden will quickly pass an executive order for an emergency shipment from the US to Israel of bullets to replace the ones those brave IDF soldiers spent defending themselves from that evil UN Humanitarian vehicle.
Wouldn't want them to be low on bullets if, God forbid, they're faced with an even more dangerous assailant such as, for example, a Palestinian 5 year old child.

My god this bot is problematic... Really makes me lose all respect for the .world ecosystem of mods and admins that they've heard the feedback and refused to do anything without even considering the possibility of just not having this bot at all. All feedback is replied to with basically "you must implement a bot for us in order for us to take you seriously"
Yes it is very disappointing. I believe the bot is actively harmful and have raised concerns through the proper channels only to be told they are not open to removing the bot at all. No reason given as to why the option should be off the table. Just have to hope that people see the downvotes and hesitate to take the ratings at face value.
Rule3: Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Translation: Sources that don't follow the approved narrative may be removed, only our propaganda is true.
They claim they're not authoritarian by forcing this, after so many have complained.
Fucking war criminals.
If you find it BAD to SHOOT FOOD AID WORKERS then you HATE JEWS because JEWS MURDER FOOD AID WORKERS!
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.
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.
