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.

I wonder if this will be another Isreali claim they retract months later.
The same guy is in a hospital pointing to a "hostage keepers list" of "terrorist names" which is literally just a calendar.

Countdown for when they retract and admit it was bullshit: 1000... 999... 998...
This stuff is just absurd.
Hamas actually mandates that every member names themselves after a day of the week to make scheduling easier.
I heard Hezbollah uses months of the year.
Why does the calendar appear to start on 10/7 though?
If you look carefully at the photo, it starts on 2023/10/07 (at the top) which is October 7th, a Saturday.
Presumably that's how they organise some work for the month.
But seriously, who cares? It's obviously not a terrorist list unless calendars are now forbidden to Palestinians.
I mean I'm probably reading into it too much, but it seems suspicious that it starts on the day of the attack. I've never heard of calendars starting with Saturdays either but I definitely admit I don't know much about this region. Either way, I am very much opposed to this violence happening and don't know how to feel about it all beyond that. Mostly just sad...
That photo literally just has days of the week listed.
hahaha! she's silly!
I love you.
Thanks, bro.
Here we have a dude justifying hard on bombing hospital with civilians in it.
but it's okay Hamas do it so IDF can too, they're both in the same league anyway
Hamas is an asset to Israel.
Every time peace is brought up to the table, they’ll blow it up.
Hamas is an asset to Israel.
I'll take things literally said by Netanyahu's cabinet for 400 Alex.
I couldn't find the loose clip with a quick search. But John Oliver had it on his show Sunday.
John Oliver did a good job explaining the situation.
Even without saying it literally, Hamas is backed by Iran and they want to destabilize the middle east. Israel wants as much land as possible.
So the plan is Israel ask Hamas to attack them so they can retaliate and occupy more land. A win win situation.
They have been in this state for decades.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

For fear of being called a Hamas bootlicker... I don't get it.
So there was a secret safe house under the hospital containing some weapons and evidence that someone had been tied up there in the past. Maybe that justifies surrounding the place with tanks and securing it.
So... now that's been secured, what is the justification for not allowing it to continue to function. Are the IDF giving amnesty to all the displaced patients and giving them the medical aid they need?
The last time they "provided evidence" it was a shitty animation with no actual proof whatsoever. I'm not believing a word those Nazi wannabes say ever again.
that is some pretty weak evidence
Israel: Killing civilians is wrong ~~unless we're the ones doing it~~
IDF presents...IGNORE! Why aren't there independent parties allowed into Gaza to confirm or deny this? WHY? I don't believe anything IDF has to say without verification. That's just fair.
