A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.
Now they're supposed to leave Rafah.
You might ask where Israel thinks Gazans are supposed to go. The answer is- nowhere. They're supposed to die.
In the ground or sky
I'm sure they wouldn't spare any iron dome missiles if the Palestinians went as high as the radars would pick.
Israel literally told Gazans to go to Rafah to be safe. They said it was a safe zone.
And the IDF was operating elsewhere, not entering Rafah at the time.
Now they're supposed to leave Rafah.
Yes, that's how it works. It's like how sometimes during road construction, the construction crew might route you into a different traffic lane. Doesn't mean that lane will remain safe to drive on forever.

Now this is just plain false, since it doesn't look like you actually bothered reading any details about it. Israel did in fact tell them where to go.
And then Israel will bomb where it told them to go just like it bombed Rafah after telling them to go there. Or is that just Hamas propaganda?
Yes, that's how it works. It's like how sometimes during road construction, the construction crew might route you into a different traffic lane. Doesn't mean that lane will remain safe to drive on forever.
That’s a bad analogy. The construction crew direct you to a safe place while they repair the rest of the road. There’s nothing being repaired in Gaza. It’s just being systematically destroyed.
Repairing Gaza by removing the terrorists hiding there.
Riiiight ... removing terrorists like all those children in a playground the IDF bombed with precision bombs the other day.
Your "argument" is just a variant of the good old "All Palestinians are Terrorists" hasbara propaganda slogan.
Murdering civilians creates more terrorists
It’s like how sometimes during road construction
Robert Moses drives a six lane highway through your neighborhood and you all get to eat shit and die.
What's the point of war crimes when there's no war consequences?
There have never been consequences for Israeli crimes and ethnic cleansing.
Even now there is ethnic cleansing of the Armenian quarter in Jerusalem and Palestinian villages in the West Bank.
If you keep doing the shit we've supported you doing for the last 7 months, that could in fact ruffle some metaphorical feathers.
"Not really though, fellow corporatocracy. Fuck the proles. Pay me and I'll help you genocide coz I'm a career sociopath. Whoop whoop!!"
And I’m sure they’ll be punished just as harshly for that war crime as all the others.
Pull out the Sanctions or shut up already Macaroni.
Israel is the gun pointed at Egypt's head over the Suez Canal. For all the bullshit Netanyahu is pulling, too many Europeans learned all the wrong lessons from the Nasser coup and assume a "Greater Israel"
is necessary to maintain commerce between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.
Egypt is fully under American control already.
Sisi is a puppet that receives billions each year from both America and Europe to surpress his population and kneel for israel. Recently he got another 8 Billion IMF bribe.
I don't think there's any strategy involved in the support of israel other than israel fully owning the majority of politicians.
Egypt is fully under American control already.
I'd say its not, as evidenced by the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The US doesn't even have a military base in Egypt. The closest we've got are in Etrea and Tripoli, with our West African bases getting squeezed out by the recent wave of military coups. Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are fundamental to our control of the region.

Think harder.
pop it on the list
I'm sure Netnyehu is really dreading the intense finger wagging he's in for.
While calling terrorists everyone who stands for Gaza and sending the police, which mutilated many people under Macron's regime, to interrupt protests.
Classic Macron.
Condemnation is good but action is greater.
so no war crime until now?
No, just another one
Hasn't Russia been abducting children for over two years?
Well yeah, that's why Russia is under sanctions, and why we're helping Ukraine.
you're not wrong. and Russia is also a bad guy. But so is Israel. And so is North Korea. And so is America. And so is...
The list goes on and on. But this article isn't about Russia, is it? It's about Israel committing war crimes.
Oh, look, Macron waving his finger even more energetically.
That's really going sway the Neue Nazi administration in Israel.
How many people need to die in order for the isreali government being satisfied? It is a rethorcial question as it should be clear by now that the answer is "all in Gaza". It is quite the speedrun to become one of the most despised countries.
You can safely assume that IDF will not care the slightest. The more Palestinians die from being starved and displaced and getting sick, the less bullets they will need.
Good old finger-wagging to wash their hands of atrocities. "Hey man, we told them not to do it."
So another mark on the list? Because I'm pretty sure the rest wasn't 100% ok as well.
