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.
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.

FOURTEEN FUCKING PAGES
Israel has killed approximately FIVE TIMES as many kids under the age of ten alone than the entire Israeli casualty count from Oct 7.
This is not defense, its extermination. I have no idea how anyone can look at the data and take it any other way.
they just don't know the meaning of chivalry, or even proportion.
And still no sanctions, not a single country stopped completely sending them weapons. Even though there is an indictment from the ICC that Bibi and Galant are war criminals.
The level of impunity of Israel is astonishing, and I am always surprised by the people still defending this madness. How can you justify this?
34,344! Jesus fuck...
These are confirmed victims only, who could be identified by their ID number. The Gaza Ministry of Health has taken incredibly detailed statistics for years. They hire people whose only job is to count people, their injuries, details like location of bullet wounds, percent of successful and unsuccessful treatment, etc. Mind you this is in a completely hectic scenario / triage going on with hospitals overflowing with patients. There are WHO reports using this data for some of the past notable dates and they are always horrific.
I mean, that's a lot. If it's tit-for-tat, eye for an eye, whatever... that's wildly disproportionate.
Especially from a country where, you’d THINK they would have VERY STRONG OPINIONS AGAINST genocidal ANYTHING.
Winston Churchill once said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”
This war has gotten out of hand.
war?
