- 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 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.

MODERATORS
They are literally attacking the UN and still we are expected to provide unquestioning support?
This isn't new. They've been assassinating UN mediators since before they were even granted Statehood.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folke_Bernadotte
The assassination was organized by Yitzhak Shamir, who was later elected prime minister of Israel.
Israel is the Grim Reaper for UN. And a beloved adopted child of US who doesn't care of its actual child UN. What a dysfunctional family
Yeah, pretty much :/
The US will send an antimissile system to Israel as well as a crew of US military personnel to operate the system.
Let me guess, it's not "boots on the ground".because they're wearing sneakers?
You know, even though it's still rewarding Israel's actions in a way, out of all the support the US is giving, this one I probably mind the least. It will prevent further innocent deaths (regardless of what side they are on, this is always a net positive), and it can't be used by Israel against the Palestinian and Lebanese people. Let the US take over all of the defense of Israel if it means they stop delivering bombs and missiles that Israel will use to further their genocide.
That's not how it will play out. By unconditionally defending Israel from counter-attack they're emboldening them to keep fighting and provoking whoever they want. The Israelis know they're immune to any repercussions from their aggression. They have nothing to fear, and will only further their attacks because of it. This will create more innocent deaths, not less.
Honestly, it makes me pretty angry that we’re providing defensive support like this to Israel, but not to Ukraine. It’s a blatant and huge double standard.
.ml called that too.
Their hoping these "accidents" will convince the UN to leave...
They were told to evacuate. They didn't.
You don't tell the fucking UN to evacuate because you want to attack someone.
The UN holds zero authority when I'm putting my country's best interests forward.
Just as the rest of the Western world is better served by not getting entangled into the genocidal actions of the religious extremists now running ~~Iran~~ Israel
Religion is a front.
The UN has more athority over Lebenon, than Isreal. Note Hezbula is not a terrorist as they clame but a legitimate party in Lebinan and following lebenise law.
I also want to point out that the UN was there for the spupervised demiliterization of Hezbula with the assistence of Lebenon, the same reason Isreal is claiming to be attacking... also isreal did do an indiscriminant bombing on civilian centers so I would be a little quiet as your contry is quite literaly being the very open baddy in this situation
I’m telling you to evacuate your house, if you don’t I’ll just fucking kill you. If you don’t evacuate your own house I’ll also call the police and tell them you had it coming because I told you to evacuate and you refused. I see no flaw in your logic at all.
Don't evacuate, you might be killed. It's really not that hard of a concept.
Yeah no you’re just trying to justify another war crime committed by the settler colonial apartheid genociders.
The funny thing is that your logic is so poorly thought that you could apply it to all the attacks against Israel.
"Hey, Israelis, we're gonna bomb your homes! You better evacuate if you don't want to die!"
Well, … yes that seems to be what will happen
