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.

Israel's casualties are lower for a number of reasons that I probably don't have to list, pointing this out is not exactly compelling evidence that their attacks are indiscriminate (i.e., done at random or without careful judgment.) You're making a claim about intent regarding targeting. Are they firing these rockets randomly at populated areas like Hamas does, or does the IDF carefully choose targets and tell the media specifically what the intended military target was? 🤔
You're ignoring the military capability and tactics they aren't using. Israel has nukes, they could level every building in Gaza without warning people at all, they could just roll in and shoot everybody, they could use biological weapons, they could have forcibly closed the Rafah gate and kept food and water out until people starved to death, they could start a big fire, you know, actual genocide stuff, actual war crimes. They don't. They get accused of it anyway though.
Israel really needs to keep its people in check and prosecute their civilians and soldiers who are breaking the law in the west bank. They need security there, that is some bullshit, I agree.
Ah could you please then tell me how many of those 9000+ casualties are legitimate military targets, how many actual Hamas fighters they killed? And bring proof that all of those 10.000+ strikes have been indeed targeting military infrastructure. You are questioning Hamas propaganda but not questioning the Israeli propaganda. Don't you realise the hypocrisy in this situation.
And a couple of days ago I read an article that IDF leveled or severely damaged more than 4% of all residential buildings. That's the homes of 100k residents. How is this justified? Fact is you as a person has never experienced anything even remotely similar to what Gaza residents are forced to experience every day, you can't even fathom how it is to be on the other side of the fence. And you still defend them with all your wrongdoings. With this you are only proving how much brainwashed you are with your country's propaganda.
