We are watching millions of lives being asphyxiated between the ocean and barbed wire fences, all to appease a people who have spent their lives waiting for this moment with bated breath.

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.

What do you mean when you say "a people"?
“A people” is a way of referring to a group of people, a society. You could be more specific and say “the Jewish people” but it’s the same usage.
Someone in fact called Palestine “A land without a people for a people without a land.”
Is it making more sense now?
*fixed autocorrect error
You couldn’t say that.
You could say “the Israeli people”. What is going on here is not the actions of Jewish people.
Okay sure.
Paywalled for me.
God... Israel's siege plunged you into darkness too
now they’ve gone too far
A good way to get around paywall is putting the link into the Internet Archive
It's what I normally do and I think the more people who know about it the better
Thanks for that! I hadn't realised, and was wondering why people share those types of links.
Happy to help 👍
Looks like the area they were told to evacuate to got hit the most.
Gaza is one big kill box.
The night is dark and full of state terrorism.
Hiring their war crimes away from reporters and social media.
How mean of them not to live stream brutal murder like Hamas does. You might have to find something else to jerk off to, then.
They like to murder civilians without evidence like the Nazi cowards that they are.
It’s plunged Israel into metaphorical darkness.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The United Nations said this week that a desalination plant in the territory could stop running, leaving people without clean drinking water.
Even before Friday’s blackout, the lack of power and reduced internet access had already further isolated Palestinians in Gaza, making it harder for them to stay in contact with one another and with the outside world.
“We can barely write a text message to reassure our loved ones about our well-being,” said Alaa Ahmed, 20, a medical student.
Its sole power plant is operated by diesel fuel that typically enters the enclave from the Karem Shalom crossing, which is currently closed.
“I miss taking a hot shower and diving into a bathtub full of water,” said Shayma Ahmed, 20, a student at the Islamic University of Gaza, which Israel bombed last week.
“I miss having a proper meal with my family and then having my favorite dessert, brownies, which I loved to make with my sister using our electric oven,” she said.
The original article contains 708 words, the summary contains 164 words. Saved 77%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I miss my life as it was before
This sucks. I'm a very pro-Israel person. I still don't want civilians to suffer. On the other hand, that before she mentions is before the government elected by people there perpetrated the third largest terrorist attack in history. It'd be real great if there were something ... Like... Soldiers to keep the peace maybe... That would guard things like fuel so it isn't stolen or hospitals so that hospitals built by say a union of nations or something aren't used in rocket attacks.
I miss the days when a 2 state solution seemed imminent. Gaza being demobilized was supposed to be a stepping stone to exactly that.
The last elections in Gaza were held in 2006. 70% of people in Gaza are 30 or younger, meaning they would have been 13 or younger during that election. I don't believe the 2006 election can be held up as proof that the current population of Gaza asked for this government.
Well then you should be mad at Netanyahu for propping up Hamas and backing up the west bank settlers, which ruined the last attempt at a peace deal.
Gaza being demobilized was supposed to be a stepping stone to exactly that.
The disengagement from Gaza is purely a political one, to make sure the demographic of Israel maintain at what they desired. After the disengagement, Israel still maintain the air and maritime space. This is where the "Gaza is essentially an open air prison" talking point coming from. Read it up on Wikipedia, it gave the whole picture and also what happened afterward.
In 2014 peace talk between Israel and Palestine(or rather, Palestine Authority, the Fatah, Hamas's political opposition, and the government for West Bank and some Gaza administration stuff), Palestine demand them to respect the Green Line, evict the illegal settler from West Bank, and also release their prisoner, where Israel refused. For the whole course of the talk, Israel only fulfill the release of prisoner, but continued to announce new settlement in West Bank, completely ignore the demand by Palestine. The talk fall apart when Fatah reconciliation with Hamas, as Netanyahu refused to work with Hamas. US, in anonymous interview, blame Israel for that, while the official statement blame both. Do read it up, as it contain a huge load of detail from both side.
In 2017, when Hamas announced their new charter that they only want their Green Line back, Netanyahu in respond called it propaganda and refuse to acknowledge that, US ridicule that because they didn't mention recognising Israel as a country.
Netanyahu destroyed the two state solution long ago, the latest Hamas attack is the last straw that break the camel's back.
