Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
This insane headline kind of implies that it would have all been unreportable if the two tourists were actual Palestinians. It's more news worthy because the Jewish guy shot at Israelis rather than actual Palestinians.
An hour ago, Israelis attacked an ambulance crew in Jenin who were trying to reach a wounded man.
Four hours ago, they shot a man south of Nablus City.
Five hours ago, their fighter jets fired on several "suspicious" vehicles in Gaza.
None of that was news. These two guys getting shot, and then presumably getting instant medical treatment and someone immediately stepping in to make sure the attacker was brought to justice, was. Because it's out of the ordinary, because Israel isn't in charge of where it happened.
What the fuck are you on about?
This is not the Onion
I was trying to make a joke
You aren't wrong honestly. It probably would've made the local news but not national.
What a terrible time we live in
