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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

You mean his goals keep changing? Hmm... seems like a constantly changing military objective would allow you to kill an unlimited number of children justifiably based on your reasoning.
In October, he said he wanted
Today, he says the Rafah operation is a significant step towards
The first two goals look unchanged.
There is no mention of hostages in my quote. Maybe he isn't interested in that any more, but it's entirely possible he mentioned it elsewhere and I didn't see it.
You mean the military that grows every time a child is killed. So this never ends and children never stop being killed.
No, Hamas forces are steadily getting smaller. If there are new recruits, they are not enough to make up for the losses.
If you won't even acknowledge what even The Jerusalem Post acknowledges, I can't help you. You're clearly not living in the real world.

Your link:
The article suggests that they can recruit in the future, and maybe they can. Or maybe Palestinian militants will join a different organization, as I suggested.
But for now, Hamas is definitely smaller than they were in October.
You either did not read the whole article or are dishonestly taking that line out of context.
This is also dishonest because we are not talking about "for now," we are talking about how this war will end, if it ever does.
You clearly have an honesty problem and I don't see why I should continue this discussion further.
You said the Hamas military is growing. It isn't.
You showed me an article that speculates about how it might grow in the future, but that doesn't mean it's growing now. It doesn't even mean it will grow in the future. It's just speculation.
As for how this war will end: I don't know and neither do you. You seem to think that Israel will kill 100% of Palestinian children but I don't believe that will happen.
Which is what we are obviously talking about when talking about reaching a military objective.
I am tired of your blatant dishonesty. This has all been about justifying Israeli genocide and I wish you had just been honest about that from the start.
Goodbye.
Are you suggesting that Israel cannot achieve its military objective?
Maybe so, but that does not mean that they intend to "kill all children" (or that doing so would be justified), despite your assertions.
I have been trying to follow this discussion, but this is taking it a bit too far...
Would it be rude to suggest a ceasefire?
