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.
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.

There is no way they hit them purposefully. Education is Israels best weapon against the Hamas leadership.
So, what you're saying is that the IDF is so incompetent that they keep hitting designated safe zones by mistake? That's what you're going with?
Look, I'm not saying they hit that school (or the previous 5) by mistake, but how can they know that a building called school, managed by the UN, full of children seated in classrooms with teachers teaching stuff to said children, in a zone designated by Israel as a safe zone is actually a school?
They couldn't know! Nobody could!
None of those schools are active. They're currently shelters for families.
Well that makes it alright then! Nobody could possibly object to families sheltering in a so-called safe zone being killed by the very people who designated it as such and told them to go there!
That's just totally normal existential self defense behavior! 🤦
never said it was justified, I'm just correcting information.
Not to dogpile on you but, if that is actually your stance, I'd go and amend your top statement. Too many bad actors divert the topic by 'quibbling' about minor inaccuracies in a statement.
And I would say "a school" vs a "a school building currently hosting refugee families" is a very minor component of the larger story that "a nation has been bombing those civilian buildings full of non-combatants in established safe zones".
so they are destroying both the future and the families, got it
Are you saying they missed? 6 times in 10 days?
Maybe this is a new concept for you but the Israeli right and Hamas are two sides of the same coin. They created each other and probably don’t exist without the other.
Hamas didn't create Zionism lol
Not Zionism writ large. Netanyahu’s Likud. https://www.timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-hamas-now-its-blown-up-in-our-faces/
So delusional
bruh!
Unfortunately, education in Gaza has been directly linked to the incitement of terrorism. In Gaza the children read textbooks in school containing hateful, antisemitic messaging along with encouraging martyrdom and jihad.

Ah, well, better do genocide then.
Do you really think trolling is appropriate for such a serious topic?
I don't think anybody here wants death and destruction.
Just wondering why you have justified the bombings of children because… checks notes the UN run schools -might- have been teaching history to generate hate.
Please read the comment you replied to. "bombings of children" would be covered by "death and destruction", i.e things I (and hopefully you) don't want happening.
According to the IDF and far right Knesset members and organizations beholden to them. AKA the least reliable sources regarding anything even REMOTELY connected to Palestine.
If you're unhappy with this particular link, just search yourself. There are condemnations from several institutions (amongst them the EU comission). This is pretty much common knowledge for those who are familiar with the situation.
I've seen the claim many times before and it's been thoroughly debunked as disinformation again and again.
Fixed that for you.
Oh? Well in that case please go ahead! I've yet to see such a "thorough debunking". Don't worry, I'll be patient. Go ahead and make me pleasantly surprised.
Edit: Been a few hours at this point, and it seems like @[email protected] wasn't able to "thoroughly debunk" my statement, instead leaving behind a downvote. I'll open up the call to anyone who finds this comment in the future. Prove me wrong!
In this instance I'd love to be wrong, it'd be a good thing if Palestinian schools aren't brain washing kids with hateful propaganda.
Ah, the honeyed words of the local Sealion.
Their source is an Israeli organization, lol. There are so many parallels between Israel's theft of Palestine and the Europeans' theft of North America, "their education/religion/culture is terrorism" is just another one on the list.
Two wrongs don't make a right. I was highlighting to the OP why education (in this instance) isn't actually reducing bigotry and hate like it would in many other cases, but instead making the problem worse.
Besides, the issue with problematic materials in teaching is hardly limited to Gaza.
Couldn't you just change the curriculum then; when you have full military control anyways? Bombing the schools seems a slight overreaction to me.
