World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

Sure bud.
I think you're both arguing about the wrong things, but did you read the article you cited?
Literally the first sentence of the article:
If, like me, you're not an expert in Iranian backed militia groups, it then goes on to say:
Idk about the rockets or any of the details but do try to become familiar with the evidence you're citing before acting like you're an authority on the topic.
Oh my poor friend. None of what you said was witty. You previously said "hourly" and have now linked an article that says I was wrong when I said a singular attack in 10 months there were in fact 2, count em 2, whole rocket attacks (though one was not by Hamas). Mea culpa! I will point out that your very own linked article literally says "The volley of about 20 rockets caused no casualties". Imagine that?! There are not hourly rocket attacks and zero Israeli civilians have been harmed since October. I don't know what sort of hardware is required for wits but I can assure you you are lacking in it and perhaps have horse blinder hardware installed that you are not aware of. You have proven quite well that you are neither an expert nor well educated apparently.
Deep breath. It does seem we are arguing points and that we in fact agree the whole situation is terrible. It is just upsetting when you make up things about Palestinians harming Israeli civilians when that is not true. It is only Palestinian civilians in the line of fire and it is heartbreaking.
Does your LinkedIn profile list, "The School of Hard Knocks", under education? You argue like someone who has never had any serious, formal education.
On the bright side, you should seriously consider running for public office, you check every box for the modern politician in some places.
