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.

MODERATORS
I checked and it seems like they reposed a 2 weeks old AJ video cutting out some of their footage.
https://youtu.be/E4PtbgpBu9E
So it's less recent than I thought, but still relevant. First witness statements of mass IDF executions were ~2 months ago iirc (don't quote me on that I might be 2 weeks off)
Mee is a respectable news source. One sided for sure but they're not making stuff up.
Israel doesn't get covered much on the Arab side, they're afraid to quote lies from the IDF and tarnish their reputation of factually being factual. Unlike mostly western propaganda outlets like NYT which will happily verbatim quote every lie the IDF tells them even when it's already debunked. 40 beheaded hospital tunnels. You know the drill.

Can I ask you to update your original comment saying this video was made before this article came out, related to a different event at an unknown time, and has been edited?
I don't know the name of the logical mistake, but saying they don't report Israel lies is a falicy. They don't need to state this is true, they need to factually state this is the viewpoint of the Israeli government, this is their response to this attack. Its not their job to tell us who is right and not, its their job to state both sides of the arguements and report on facts.
Sure edited my comment.
Does israel broadcast every statement Hamas makes?
Nope - accurate reporting does. Like I wouldn't trust hamas to comment on Israel - its the point of independent journalism to give both sides, not take sides.
The thing I've learned most over this conflict is how much of a godsend BBC is - ban emotive language, report both sides, only send out evidence that is backed.
Thanks for the update as well. I'm trying to not take sides but can only do it when information is out there.
I'm sorry my dude but BBC is horrible propaganda. BBC called a Pro Palestine protest a "Pro Hamas rally".
If you're getting your news from BBC you're going to need to get up to date with some actual facts. Luckily Middle East Eye got you ;)

God, Middle East Eye is worse - they actively provide a biased arguement and have provided 0 Israel viewpoint and refuse to discuss who owns it. Their reviews discuss how they use manipulative language to push viewpoints and pass over any information counter to their agenda.
Had a look at the clip (well, first minute). Does this sound like a balanced view point to you.
YouTuber
listed outrage and disgusted before showing the clip i.e told you how to react
mentioned issues with screen recording from BBC (nothing to do with the the clip, just there so you already question them)
was already at an rally with this viewpoint before the information came up.
completely loaded with emotive words and reactions
Vs BBC clip
names, places
fact (visited, rally, support, Hamas designated terrorist organization)
clear, non emotive language.
the only issue is calling it pro Hamas, which is an understandable conclusion as Hamas is the Palestine government. Who is responsiblefor the welfare of Palestine citizens - their government. Its no different than calling supporting American military ops pro-Biden.
If you go up to my eairler comment MEE is horrific fir accuracy and bias
Are you calling all Palestinians Hamas?
As Israel pounds Gaza, BBC journalists accuse broadcaster of bias
Down votes here are extremely telling about how pro Palestinian supporters are really just anti Jew.
