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.

The comments on that article are really missing the point that leveling a city block to kill a few terrorists almost invariably means you created more terrorists than you killed.
Unfortunately I'm not so sure they're missing the point. I'm afraid there's quite a few people who are just excited to see their scheduled genocide put into motion.
Finding an enemy, anyone, to rally angry and hate-fueled people has been a solid political staple for at least the last decade or so. The only "new"-ish part is that a lot of people are dying as a direct result of that now.
They know this, that's the point, they want a biting dog that you can euthanize instead of the calm golden lab everyone will be upset with you for putting down
Yeah...
The ultimate tragedy of the last few weeks is that the average Israeli will only be more radicalized against Palestine, while the average Palestinian will only be more radicalized against Israel. It's a perpetual cycle of anger and violence that has no end in sight, and I don't feel any hope for a better future for the region and the innocent people on either side of the conflict.
What should have happened, like yesterday, should be obvious to anyone with a brain and a heart: Hamas should free all of their hostages and turn over anybody who participated in the terrorist attack on Israeli civilians, and Israel should cease fire immediately, call all settlers back and return the Gaza borders back to what they were a month ago. Terrorism and genocide are inexcusable, and the simple fact is that both sides have the blood of the innocent on their hands, all because of the politics of greed.
There is much more Israel should be doing. Not least is allowing travel between Gaza and the West Bank.
We are a far cry from free travel between Gaza and the West Bank.
The likelihood of that is lower now than it's ever been.
We shouldn't be.
The only solution to the region is a Palestine that is prosperous and free. So long as people have nothing to lose, they will continue laying down their lives.
Neither Hamas nor the Israeli government want peace. They're not going to try to fix a situation neither sees as a problem.
Hamas wants peace but as you can see in the west bank being nice to the israeli colonists will only get you killed and your land stolen.
Violence starts when a party isn't willing to come to peaceful agreements and in this case the israelis are the ones who keep seeking war.
Hamas wants "peace" in the form of a repressive Islamic state which is run by Sharia law. They are not friends to the Palestinian people. They are Iranian puppets.
As Bibi himself said, supporting hamas makes sense if your goal is to prevent a palestenian state.

Also Israeli funded.
Hamas wants peace by eradicating Israel. I don’t think that the two can find common ground there.
They want to eradicate the illegal occupation of their land, not the israelis themselves
Israel however seeks to eradicate the Palestinian people. This is a huge difference.
Wow look at all those downvote for stating a fact. The pro-Israel crowd sure is sensitive when facts that don't agree with their propaganda are mentioned.
I'm going to need a source on this.
I think this would be news to most, including Hamas.
Like in any war of occupation: the ever more militarized government of the occupier and the ever more militarized force of the occupied are objective allies.
The first thing that should have happened is the dethroning of Netanyahu. The fact the guy who let it happen is still in charge is by far the biggest cause of this.
Wow you must have like, really smart

It's really insane and the comparison pics are from over a week ago now.
That is certainly one point and how we are, still Here after decades. Another point is that if you do that, you have become the bad guy.
Not to worry, we will kill these up-and-comers too
Maybe israel can beat the previous high score of 6 million
palestine only has 4 million people... so they will have to add other minorities to the mix if they wanna beat the high score
I feel like that fact won't stop them from trying anyway.
Sure, sounds like a well thought out and good pla...
Wait a sec, is that your mom and sister that just got kidnapped and raped? Is that your baby's dismembered head lying at your feet?
Oh shit, maybe your stupid decisions will actually affect you and you'll see how it's not such a good one to begin with.
If you're cool with suffering as long as it's not your own, you're a piece of shit.
Is this the only thing that troubles you? Hamas creates terrorists anyway. Palestinians are being told they need to kill Jews in order to become heroes, which will get them money they really need. It's not much different from Russia where people are led by propaganda but ultimately decide to abandon peaceful life for a chance to get big money.
Palestinians are fighting for their land and their freedom against a war-crime-comitting occupier.
Whatever that "fighting" involves, it doesn't seem to work well for them, does it? Why would you stub yourself with a knife if you want to cure a flu?
Are you suggesting that they shouldn't fight for their land and freedom?
Are you suggesting to be able to cure a flu by stabbing yourself with a knife?
Your terminology is idiotic and useless.
You prefer calling a truth you don't like useless? Because it's the truth that hamas will not be able to achieve its goals (kill all jews and destroy Israel) using what they have and receive as aid, even if they build tons of missiles they usually build. This is not how you "fight for freedom" because the freedom will never be the result of it. They need to change a lot in order to even try better. For example build defenses along with missiles for a change etc.
In the past Israel beloved that. But the organization of Hamas has scared them. They believe that they need to destroy the Command and Control infrastructure Hamas has for its 40k person military or Hamas will simply organize followup slave raids.
