Spain should cut ties with Israel. Just follow South Africa's example.

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.

We still don't know the actual casualty figures. All we have is information from the Hamas terrorist group.
The casualty figures provided by Gaza's medical institutions are generally agreed to be considered trustworthy because they've been consistently confirmed afterwards, by organizations such as the WHO, across the years. I understand distrust of Hamas, but these figures come from medical professionals, who generally just want to do their job regardless of the political figures they have to answer to.
Personally, I'm more worried about the potential mortal victims of the internal displacement due to the shitshow of forcing over half a million people to leave their homes to refugee camps that have serious difficulties to receive supplies, which might currently not be properly reported due to the lack of organization.
The trouble is, they say whatever Hamas tells them to say. Information coming out is going through a terrorist group's filter. International governments aren't allowed to monitor what's happening inside.
What the hell are you talking about? There are a multitude of journalists and international observers, risking their lives and dying to be there covering the facts and verifying.
We have the casualty numbers from the official body that every major organization in the world and including the US government, among others, considers highly reliable.
They are taking the word of Hamas terrorists.
Whom they consider highly reliable in regards to reporting of casualties.
6 weeks ago those "highly reliable" Hamas sources were beheading babies and raping their mothers.
Ah, I thought you were being hyperbolic, but you were seriously trying to claim that the Ministry of Health members are the same as Hamas.
No. I am stating that Hamas terrorists control what they say.
And yet every major organization and multiple governments, including the US, consider their numbers reliable. So they clearly don't think Hamas controls what the Ministry of Health says.
The Hamas terrorists own the mouths of all entities withing Gaza.
Then why does practically everyone important consider the Ministry of Health's death and casualty numbers reliable and have considered the Ministry's numbers as such for years?
