A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
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 IDF, US and other Zionists will claim it was out of self-defense.
When are other countries going to step up and do something about this horrifying genocide.
That's after they first try to pin it on Palestinians themselves.
To be fair this is how American police kill people. Engage perfectly innocent person, escalate it because they aren't 100% respectful of your authority and finally shoot them because they didn't follow your orders after you claimed to see a weapon.
Which country isn’t so afraid of the US bombing them in retaliation that they’ll stand up to us? There aren’t many. And to stop Israel at this point you will need boots on the ground.
Russia is too bogged down in Ukraine, and China doesn’t want to have their trade affected.
There’s really no one left.
"The local governor, manipulated by the terrorist group Hamas, called this murder"
~ literally what our lovely western mainstream media would say
Can we just charge them with war crimes already?
You can't. Those guns and bombs they use, we pay for 'em. If we charge them with war crimes, we are charging ourselves with war crimes. And we don't want that, don't we? Just vote for a lesser evil clown or a billionaire racist idiot and make yourself feel like you've done your part. It's easier to sleep that way. It's democracy© we're protecting after all. What's a few thousand more killed for something this precious.
♫♫♫ OH SAY CAN YOU SEE....
This whole situation makes one wish there were a hell to accept the perpetrators.
From the article...
There were two bullet holes in his chest and one near his groin.
Am I reading that right, did they actually try to shoot his penis?
Also from the article...
Three days after Fakher's killing, three other shepherds from the same community were arrested on suspicion of assaulting a settler. They are still in custody.
You're not a "settler" if you're settling land that somebody already lives on. You're an invader.
Is there anything in Jewish religious texts about shepherds tending flocks as an analogy for their version of god and followers like Christians have? Murdering a literal shepherd tending his flock while reading his version of a bible is off the charts I think. Not that anyone uses religion for anything other than justification for whatever awfulness they’re engaging in.
But everything is off the charts these days.
I found it weird that an Israeli publication is reporting on the horrors of the IOF.
Haaretz is weird. Many articles are the some old israeli propaganda but they have some left wing writers which write and investigate israeli war crimes and even articles against their government.
The person who writes the article makes all the difference on Haaretz.
