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.

If there is a tunnel under the building, they aren't targeting the building, they are targeting the tunnel. The building has to be razed either way. If the occupants and neighbors are all warned to leave, that's good enough by any standard of moral warfare.
It's a shame that Hamas built them under their people's homes and under vital infrastructure. It stuns me that rather than being violently overthrown by an angry mob of their countrymen, Hamas is extremely popular. I guess if all the suicide bombings and rocket attacks on innocent people didn't turn the Palestinian public against Hamas, why would October 7 be any different? Personally if some group asked me to ignore an evacuation order and allow myself to be blown up in order to die as a hero, I'd tell them they were absolutely insane and I would leave. Of course Hamas, insane terrorists that they are, would likely not allow me to leave, because to them there is actually nothing better than seeing Palestinians die by Israeli weapons.
No it's because the people who live there know what happens when they leave: they won't be able to come back. Palestinians are still trying to get the right return for the 700,000 that were kicked out of their homes during the nakba.The people there have living memory of these horrible events. Same thing happened with the Native Americans and the Trail of Tears. It's one of the stages of ethnic cleansing. Now over a million Palestinians are displaced without food or water or shelter and they're sick been a sick and an Egypt not letting them in.
And for some reason you blame Hamas rather than the people doing the actual bombing, which boggles the mind. Why don't you blame the people blockading the Palestinians for decades? The one restricting their calories, disturbing their sleep with drones, taking their homes in the West Bank, arresting them without trial or charge, cutting off their electricity or trash, preventing them from accessing water or oil, restricting the roads they can drive out cost systems they can use, telling them to go one way then bombing those same escape routes? How is all that not the fault of the Israel, the ones actually doing those actions? The ones motivating the armed struggle through continual oppression, apartheid, and war crimes?
