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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

They did kidnap a bunch of people and kill a load more, so they can fuck off.
Palestinians are being ethnically cleansed and genocided for 77 years. Their occupiers are violent, racist monsters who control Western governments and brainwash people with their victimhood propaganda.
Frankly they can get fucked and go back to Europe where they're from.
It's funny because
Israel has been funding Hamas (Bibi himself has spoken multiple times about it) for many years, giving them the equipment to do October 7th.
Israel activated the hannibal directive according to their own (now former) defense minister on a live TV interview which means that on October 7th, many many many of the civilians and IDF soldiers that died were deliberately killed by the IDF themselves.
It takes 45 minutes to fly from end to end by helicopter. Many Israeli official has refused to deny that there was a stand down order, but the army was not deployed at all until hours and hour and hours later, when they could have driven with tanks there and back again multiple times, with an army of 165,000 in a country the size of new jersey, outnumbering them 28:1 with 100x the equipment on home turf (by Israels massively inflated numbers too)
Some of the Israeli hostages were not tortured in prison with Hama's by their own tongues, but were then raped when she got back to Israel. Meanwhile Palestinian hostages are tortured daily for decades, eyes gouged out, as well as gang raped and raped by trained rottweilers by Israeli forces, and civilian Israeli doctors don't report on it, but instead enable it.
As far as anyone should be concerned. Israel funded, executed their own attack of their own civilians, and enabled it by standing down as well as treated their own civilian hostages they took (and continue taking) 10x worse.
My conspiracy is that it was really Israeli who attacked on that day and blamed it on Hamas. Because Israeli sure has used that day to commit genocide.
You don't need conspiracy theories when the facts are out there. Israel helped Hamas get funding in order to destabilise the government of the time. There is evidence that Israel knew there would be an attack and did nothing to prevent it. There was no need for a false flag attack by Israel because they had Hamas to do it for them. Hamas and Israel need each other to keep the perpetual war going. They are both appalling bastards who are happy to let their own innocent citizens die in order to keep their insane hatred fed.
Israel does not need Hamas, they‘ve been genociding Palestinians for a century.
Israel is a violent settler colonial project for a jewish supremacy ideology.
Hamas is a propped up excuse for Israel to continue this shit.
You are low key both-siding a genocide.
E: But since you‘ve been doing it all through this thread, you still need to be called out. So, where are you idiologically? You sure argue like a liberal Zionist, or are you just so sure of yourself, despite actually just repeating colonial talking points?
Yes cleary Israel has never done that or attack civilians and destroy their homes. Nope never, not once.
That's just whataboutism, though
Yes and no. If it is framed as "Israel did it as well", then yes it's a whataboutism. But if it is framed in history, where Israel is the occupiers with overwhelming resources and has turned Gaza into an open air prison, then no, it's not a whataboutism but illustrating a larger pattern of violence.
Violence begets violence. If someone shot at me I’d shoot back, wouldn’t you?
It doesn't work as well at a national scale. If you shoot my sister, that doesn't mean I should shoot your sister.
So then Israel killing 30k civilians for revenge is what exactly aside from a war crime?
It also is. It's possible for two groups at war with each other to both commit war crimes against each other.
You're aware the official policy of Israel is they take a man we take a family correct?
That doesn't contradict what I said.
It does. You're equivocating when they aren't at all the same thing.
The only difference is scale
Yeah scale isn't important, you're right.
Actions speak to intent. Scale only speaks to ability.
Ah so industrialized murder and murder are equally bad then huh?
They're both wrong. That's the point. An investigation doesn't help when the conclusion is the same as what is currently believed.
How many hospitals did Hamas blow up? Water plants?
Part of a genocide is just making the place unlivable which is what the investigating is for.
No that happened before Oct 7th and is in large part the cause of Oct 7th.
A justification cannot be won from a fault. If I steal your wallet then I cannot claim self defense when you take it back with force.
Oh its bad to resist colonial occupation sorry I forget my high horse back home.
Then kill their fucking soldiers, their politicians, their hypercapitalists, profiteering. Killing, torturing, maiming, raping and kidnapping civilians is not resistance. Fuck those fuckers.

How do you say SHUT THE FUCK UP and…please cite more sources for your bullshit at the same time? I’m conversational in about 5 languages and still haven’t figured out Zionist apology
Edited with a different link of IDF murder
The article you posted isn't related to what he said. Can you explain what you disagree with? Just trying to understand the conversation, not siding one way or another.
It's probably not a real commenter.
You'll find a trend on any controversial topic of posters who just post the first link they find and I think the assumption is that people won't read it. They're relying on people who agree in general to just go along with the upvote train, it usually works out for them.
This is wild. But I can see how that works. Thx for the info. Inwas wondering, what they were about with that link.
"Resisting" by kidnapping and killing civilians. I mean it worked out great didn't it? It certainly got the occupying forces out of their country, didn't it? Great plan. Fucking geniuses.
Good thing we have internet chauvinists like you, that tell Palestinians how to resist genocidal settler colonialism the right way and waste everyone's time by muting the actual atrocities being commited every fucking day by Israel. Fucking genius.
Poor IDF soldiers on their IDF bases on Palestinian land.
Why do people find it so hard to realise thst both parties have done, are doing and will continue to do dispicable things?
The only reason why Israel's body count is higher, is because it is more powerfull.
Hamas targets military bases. Israel targets schools.
Hamas also blindly shoots rockets at cities. Why is that so difficult to recognize? Its as obvious as Israeli using terror bombing.
Hamas shoots rockets at military targets only. Too bad Israel uses human shields and puts their military bases in cities.
On stolen land, that is.
The body count is higher because they started the war and made Gaza into an open air prison. Nakba is a thing.
Oh yes, those 9 month old soldiers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_and_killing_of_the_Bibas_family
Not kidnapped by Hamas but other groups in the chaos. And killed by Israel. Also why was there a baby on a military base?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nir_Oz
Families often live near military bases so they can be together. You must know this. You see that's the problem when you decide to defend the indefensible - you just end up looking stupid.
the point is, that these are military outposts of a settler colonial landgrab. they are purposely mixing armed cilivian (settler) infrastructure with military (colonial) intend. they have no right, under international law, to be there at all. they are settlers, not civilians.
Very few children were killed during Al Aqsa Flood so Hamas did a good job avoiding casualties then.
