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.

Fucking grotesque. Hey why not make a lampshade of human skin next time. Sick fucks.
Wait, this is real?
I was thinking the Onion is trying to be creative but damn reality is worse than fiction can be.
Irony is dead
It's real
Imagine the outrage if a world leader gifted another leader a golden model airplane after 9/11.
Insanity.
The “pager attack” killed 42 people, including two children and two healthcare workers, while wounding another 2,800 people. The attacks targeted public areas, including cars, streets, and supermarkets, and many of the wounded suffered eye, hand, and brain injuries. Many survivors needed surgery, and some victims went blind or had to have their limbs amputated. One of the attacks killed an 11-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl, along with a nurse. At a funeral for some victims, another electronic device attack was carried out by Israel, wounding more people. It’s unknown how many Hezbollah operatives the attack actually killed.
“That was a great operation,” Trump reportedly told Netanyahu, after being given the morbid gift.
I can not believe this man was voted in. I can not believe this time line is real.
He wasn't voted in. Elon manipulated the voting system for trumps gain. Trump even said it himself "Elon knows voting machines". They have taken over our country and are dismantling it piece by piece. The question is, how do we stop these fucks?
You should see the hasbarists that tried to tell me that the operation was highly successful since it killed the children of Hezbollah operators, and that was its intended victims. Basically these people consider children to be very valid and normal targets to the point that you are a fool for thinking it is wrong.
In all honesty at that point I am actually surprised at the restraint that Hamas and everyone else has had on them. Iran and even the Houthis defeated Israel's Iron Dome and David's Sling so many times it isn't funny, but they still act like it is some impenetrable forcefield that has never been defeated. Also all of the targets by Hezbollah and Iran have been purely military targets or symbolic while also pulling some major punches, while Israel targets civilians with wanton abandon and with the intent to do as much damage as possible to civilians and civilian infrastructure.
When Israel did get (mostly warhead-less) missiles launched at it, they expressed shock and acted as if Iran was some idiotic child-like state that did not understand that these are weapons that could hurt people. In the meantime they revel in the murder of children and civilians and even when releasing hostages as a part of their deal, they open fire at their buses.
And Israel has always been like this. It isn't new.

Yeah, because that's not fascist behaviour. Fucking hell.
top shelf nottheonion material right here.
To horrific and offensive for that in my opinion, but someone already crossposted I guess.

Hopefully, it’s exactly like the originals and someone leaks the code.

Does it come preloaded with C4 or is Trump expected to add that herself?

I seriously thought this was an onion article!
I wish it was. Sadly, the world is an extremely ugly place.

One day, decades from now, people will read about these men in the same way we read about Mussolini and Hitler. They'll be reading with bated breath about the atrocities they committed and we'll be asked by our grandchildren how was it possible to even happen. Hopefully they'll live in a world where none of this would be possible and they won't comprehend the evil and cruelty that we got to witness, they won't be able to understand how so many millions cheered for these monsters. Come to think of it, I don't understand why so many millions cheer for them today.

As a Canadian, It’s crazy how easy these two played the American left by starting a genocidal war and having musk and the oligarchs use all propaganda machines to turn it into the Democrats fault. And the left just ate it up despite how blatantly obvious it was. The left splintered and had a “no, YOU’RE the fake leftist!” Argument among each other while the right unified and laughed at you guys
The right is always unified. Blind loyalty to the team captain is their one positive attribute. Look to our own slimeball cons for similar - but properly muted because #canada - idiocy and worship.

I mean it seems more because Biden's administration was hugely pro-Israel and consistently the destruction of Gaza and the death of Palestinians, and Harris started plainly her policy was the same. Harris ran on a campaign of telling parts of the left that they didn't want their vote and courted mythical moderate Republicans.
And I voted for Harris, but this was by far a loss due to the Democrats abandonment of their base and what polling clearly showed people wanted change, irrational or not, just something different. Running on a same-as-Biden platform was a massive blunder.
Ah yes they were forced to send those bombs.
The genapos will never cease to gaslight people will they?

Holy shit.
Lmao no fucking way. That is utterly INSANE.
Even if the genocide ended tomorrow, I'm just never buying Israeli electronics again. I've been boycotting Sony all this time for a mere rootkit.
If you haven't already, you should boycott people who booby-trap their products.

There they go, best buds, genocide bibi and ethnic cleansing don.
These ghouls are unworthy of the oxygen they draw.
Zios invented modern terrorism. The pager terror attack was just the latest.
Can't even make this shit up anymore.
IF they had verified each individual target before detonating it could have been the single operation with the highest success rate for hitting actual militants and the lowest civillian casualties out of everything Israel has done lately, but instead they just detonated like a thousand pagers and pissed off Lebanon immediately after a US Diplomat came by to criticize them for escalating tensions in Lebanon.
Actually, it still might be. Pretty low bar.
I wonder if Trump's Gold Apollo will blow up, too.

That's fucking macabre... And since it's from Israel, there's probably a bug in the pager too...
If today (this and the Gaza plans) would have been in Idiocracy, Mike Judge would be in jail for sheer... everything.
How do people see this in their feeds and go "yep, that's cool"? Because apparently, a lot of people are totally fine with this.
