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.

Yeah I'm so sick of the "women and children" thing. It's so blatantly misogynistic and helps construct the idea that every man in a warzone can be considered a combatant
Misogynistic? Don't your mean misandrist?
the misogyny is that this language groups women together with children as less capable, weaker, defenseless but for the actions of men
The fact that people like you cry misogyny regardless of which gender is actually suffering is misandrist. Don’t ever let yourself think you’re actually egalitarian. That’s a lie.
Though misandry and mysogny often occur together and mirror each other. So it's valid to cry about both when someone talks about "woman and children" are grouped together as especially vulnerable groups that need additional protection.
Plenty of people correctly point that out, but never actually object to any of the misandry. Surprise, surprise.
So don't forget that Hamas' military wing is about 30K, in a population of 2.4 millions, so let's say half are children, so that's 1.2M left, and let's say the other half are women, 600K is roughly the male population of Gaza. So it appears that 1/20 male are associated with Hamas. 5%.
And by killing and destroying so many lives and homes, and futures, Israel is well underway to groom another generation of broken human beings who are more likely to get radicalized.
Male disposability at its finest.
I think the idea here is that babies (and likely women) aren't part of Hamas so there is 0 justification for killing them. Of course innocent men shouldn't be killed, either, but they could claim they are Hamas militants whereas babies can't be soldiers
Hamas is hiding inside of the babies. You are antisemitic nazi fuckboi.
Remember when France (and UK) pressured the USA not to intervene in the bosnian genocide because they didn't want a Muslim country in Europe?
I highly doubt their stance has changed in only 30 years of continuing to suck NATO's ****
This statement is as hollow as France's freedom of speech laws
France and the UK are NATO, they sucking their own dicks?
Took a month of bombing to get this lukewarm inflection of his line of speech... Guess the bombing's gonna continue for a while
After claiming unconditional support to Israel. Fuck him and his government of clowns.
There is a limit. Israel is unhinged in their response.
There should never be unconditional support for anything, good for him to have realized this. May germany follow!
Yeah that's what I meant, I realise that my formulation is bad. He gave unconditional support to Israel and withdrew it once it's been made clear that it's actually bad PR because they indiscriminately bomb and kill. Hence the government of clowns remark.
I'm very critical of this government and their response to what is happening in Gaza has been abysmal so far.
He supported unconditionally that means whatever israel does Macron still supports it.
What israel does now is the exact thing everyone expected them to do from day 1.
If people wouldn't protest so much Macron would send extra bombs
What's unhinged about having enough of a terrorist group shooting rockets at civilians, brutally murdering, raping and kidnapping civilians from their homes?
May you never see that happen in your country, to your family and friends, and have other people on the other side of the world get on their high horse and claim disproportionate response. What is the proportionate response? Go decapitate some babies in Gaza? Rape and butcher kids in front of their parents?
These numbers you're hearing are from the same people who claimed a rocket that hit a hospital was shot by Israel killing 500, which turned out to be shot by Hamas and killed 50. They are known for blowing up their own people as well as the numbers. They have the whole Pallywood industry of terror behind it.
That being said, Never Again means Never Again.
"it's not true, and if it is, they deserved it". Way to be a piece of shit about genocide
It just shows the person's morality. For him lives matter differently based on ethnicity and probably religion too. And guess who else thought the same not so long ago.
What a weird ass headline from the BBC.
Has to be an AI headline, right? Or what the fuck? I don’t know if I am seeing actual AI shit or just bad writing because I am looking for it or whatever
You'd think that AI would at least pick out something that he actually said to use in the headline.
Didn't he just send a ton of weapons to the Lebanese army to defend Israel with against Hezbollah?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israel says it attacks military targets in line with international law and takes steps to reduce civilian casualties, like issuing warnings ahead of strikes and calling on people to evacuate.
Starting by discussing Gaza, Mr Macron said France "clearly condemns" Hamas's attacks on Israel on 7 October which sparked the war.
But Mr Macron said he disagreed that the best way for Israel to "protect [itself] is having a large bombing of Gaza", saying it was creating "resentment and bad feelings" in the region that would prolong the conflict.
After a month of Israeli bombardment and nearly two weeks after Israel launched a major ground offensive into the territory, Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry said on Friday that 11,078 people had been killed, while 1.5 million had fled their homes.
And he said that climate change was causing terrorism in parts of the world, specifically mentioning the effects of global warming in lower water levels at Lake Chad in West Africa.
But when asked if he ever felt depressed by the sheer number of issues facing the world, Mr Macron said he saw it as "a chance and an honour to have responsibilities [as head of state]".

France is just a US vassal country. they have no solid independent Foreign policy since Degaule.
Nato is holding their dicks so firm if they ever dare miss align they will have them chopped on the spot.
