World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

This spread is pathetic. All the evidence they supposedly have is pathetic. This is supposed to be 'THE headquarters of the Al-Aqsa brigade'.
And all they have is... like 12 AKs, some ammo and, oh no, wd40.
It's utterly deranged how Israel thinks this shit will fly. Hell, even the Jerusalem Post is saying it's all rather pathetic lol.
They don't even have copies of The Sims, how can we even take them seriously?
I thought it was 3 SIMs that was evil, not the original! I'm doomed.
Really, it's turning into a meme. You've been there for 5 days, have bulldozers at your service? Just give me that Daniels job, I could have made up better propaganda by now. Just effing dig a tunnel and proceed to lie again to the press and 'present' your evidence lol.
They're not even trying to justify shit at this point, too busy killing civilians and making a parking lot.
It really is the darkest joke of them all how bad this all is. But the media eat this shit up
Did you read all those?
it haven't even been a day since they've taken over the hospital
'Taken over' you mean raided a hospital, illegal under international law, then held the shittiest presser in history. Dude there is this guy you would love to meet, he goes by Baghdad Bob.
Article 19 of the Geneva Convention.
Hospitals lose their immunities when combatants use it to store military equipment or house active combatants.
Dude they found like 12 aks and a can of wd40 lmao, it's an active warzone of course there's going to be weapons.
Go say that to the premature babies that are dying as of right now.
Even in an active warzone you cannot store military equipment (except medical aid, of course) in a hospital. Also the WD40 cans are IED's, improvised explosive devices.
Turns out every US neighborhood is a warzone because they have more than 12 guns and cans of WD40.
The cans of WD40 are IEDs. Improvised Explosive Devices. They are filled with explosive material.
So are cars, car shops, and restaurants. Guess we live in a war zone.
bruh. they're grenades.
No they're synthetic oil cans that are one of the best ways to grease things and can as a side be used as a bomb.
You don't take a picture of a vodka bottle and say someone was trying to make moltov cocktails. Likewise, if I raided a bar and took pictures of empty vodka bottles and towels that doesn't make them or the customers terrorists.
bruh
“… the presence of small arms and ammunition taken from such combatants and not yet handed to the proper service, shall not be considered to be acts harmful to the enemy”.
Article 19 of the Geneva Convention
Israel, UN, the EU, Amnesty International all requested that Hamas stops using hospitals to store military equipment. Hamas did not follow the warnings.
They also specifically refrain from saying it does or did happen, essentially an admonishment for something they might be doing "if you're using hospitals, stop" don't read more into it then there is.
Ed: I'll put it this way, I'll make a bet there are weapons inside of Israeli hospitals taking care of IDF personnel, there is specific language in reference to it because it is an absolute necessity in combat care.
