-
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.

Isreal: One of the foreign aid workers was Hamas!
Rational people: that sounds far fetched. Do you have any proof?
Isreal: Asking that question is antisemitic!
Also rational people: Israel could well be lying. But also Hamas could well have chosen to hide amongst aids workers.
The ability to tell which of these is true from the distance we're sat went out the window long ago.
Also, is one terrorist worth killing 3 other innocent people?
Yeah, if your end goal is to depopulate the whole region so you can steal the rest of the land you haven't stolen yet.
Yes, but when a person can't defend himself because he was killed, it's not the killer who gets the benefit of the doubt. Israel knows he was hamas? How about they show us the evidence that was enough to kill him and everyone around him.
What kind of evidence would actually be convincing? I've seen photos, call transcripts and surveillance footage released in the past as justifications for various things. All are dismissed as fake or exaggerated. Or, in other cases apparently just ignored.
That's the problem in a conflict like this as far away as it is. The truth died long ago. Whether one wants to see Hamas as the real psychopaths or Israel as the real psychopaths, any and all evidence presented so far by both sides can be twisted to suit whichever worldview the reader wants to have.
I boil it down to this, Israel has more than enough reasons to be lying and exaggerating: there are extremist factions in Israel who ideologically want to possess the land and they'll commit genocide to achieve it. Israel had military hegemony in the area, and especially with American backing, and so can count on being able to kill and squeeze Palestinian civilians in plain view until their goals are achieved. I get it.
But also, Hamas had more than enough reasons to also be lying. They are religious extremists who want to kill all Jews at any cost routinely hide among civilians and fire weapons from civilian areas. The West lost its collective mind over terror attacks by several dozen Islamic extremists. Israel has ~30,000 members of Hamas's genocidal terror brigades sitting on their doorstep. It's a different scale of threat than what the West has ever dealt with.
You're totally missing who the genocidal religious fanatics actually are.
No they are not. This is gaslight at best and out right zionest propaganda at worse. Nothing they said has any real world meaning and is used to muddy the line between "acceptable collateral damage" and outright genicide. Dude is an outright zionest and will be seen as such in every historical depiction of current times as a pro genicide individual.

The guy was delivering food to a starving population. The occupation could have captured him since they have a military presence and control in the area.

No no, terrorists would also do things like bomb hospitals or run over civilians with a bulldozer
Your judgement is so harsh... It's not like they are also siegeing, starving and genociding a population
And again, the media is just accepting the logic that just because one of the people is an accused terrorist (which I doubt is the case anyway), it makes it ok to kill everyone around them.
If you don't want to be murder, you should just make sure no criminals are ever around you. Don't go to places like the grocery store where you're surrounded by strangers unless you want be killed. /s
Even your framing is giving Israel to much credit. Suppose everyone in that car was 100% a terrorist involved in the 10/7 attack.
You still do not get to target them while they are actively distributing humanitarian aid. Particularly if said distribution has been specifically coordinated with you (I haven't seen specific reporting about this one, but in general the WCK deconflicts their movements with the IDF, for obvious reasons).
When even the official Israeli story is unconscionable, I don't understand why we are even having a conversation about "if" they are committing war crimes
Yeah, agreed. The war in terror has normalised just assassinating people without any due process, we don't even stop to think how messed up that is.
Accused terrorist is just another word for innocent
Hey, does that guy look like a terrorist?
The one in the middle? Yeah, kinda!
Right then, blast him and his friends. They're probably terrorists too!
He looks like the terrorist we killed last week
We've killed that guy ten times!

Yeah, I don't really care to be honest. These are obvious justifications after the fact. Even if true, it's a drop in the bucket. Flimsy excuses and in no way comparable to the level of destruction and genocide currently directed at millions of innocent Palestinians. 😢
Did they also say that one of the big pots they were using for cooking was actually a camouflaged Hamas Control center? Because that's about as believable...
What's the point of quoting genocidal liars in the headline? Fair and balanced? Imperial news is a doozy.
Nothing like quoting genocidal liars every time they kills someone. The good ol "reliable" news.
I remember the last time Israel bombed WCK and said "we squinted real hard and it looked like there was Hamas on board".
Because those employees were white there was an investigation. It turned out there was no armed person in the vehicle.
AP continues to put those lies in the headlines.
The title is factually correct. Remember, AP and Reuters are to report news, without taking sides. And the state of Israel claims that one of the passengers was participating in the 7th of October. Whether that's true is another story.
The title is factually correct but there is no reason to put Israeli claims in the headline unless they want to be sure everyone ingests their lies.
Israel lying about information on a Hamas member to bomb a random civilian vehicle? Totally believable.
A Hamas member hiding as a staff member of World Central Kitchen and getting found out? Also totally believable.
Reminder that Israel considers every member of government in Gaza to be a Hamas militant. From the doctors to the trash collectors.
TBH I'm pretty sure the zios just want their genocide and don't care at all about who's actually a resistance fighter. They just say that stuff about hummus for the imperial news to recycle.
Oh look all the bodies are between 15 and 60. Well that's all enemy fighters. Where have I heard that one before?
Stares at an ex-president who likes to paint.
Edit to add for context; they learned this trick from us. And that pisses me off.
Not to come across as a total pedant or anything, but are you saying that because Israel has killed a lot of civilians or are you saying that because Israel has actually said that?
They've literally bombed hospitals and told the world the target was a doctor who was the head of the hospital system. They bomb aid convoys and call the armed guards Hamas. They hit first responders and call them Hamas.
They're pretty transparently just calling anyone who got a government paycheck a Hamas fighter.
Not even worth engaging with the obvious wUdAbOuT troll. Ty for doin it but fuuuck mute block delete, or speak past them and to those reading instead.
I'm bored, I reply to this thread while my dog is trying to find a place to poop. And if I can expose this for even one person it's worth it to me.

Just like all those children that have been murdered for their ties to October 7.
And now WCK is removing itself from Gaza. Israel gets to make the lives of those trapped in Gaza a little worse before they die, and they only had to blow up one car. Bargain!
Guess multiple rounds are cheaper than a single round from a sniper
