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.

And of course hamas sympathizers are going to rebuff this evidence as 'another lies'.
I'm impressed by Hamas having a documentation classification system and documentation process. Most terrorist organizations specifically don't write things down because it makes it easier to stop them. So organized!
They control the government of a large body of people. They're very organized. Most terrorist organizations are. They have to be. They are "disadvantaged" with less resources. If you have a job you probably know the concept of having to "do more with less"
Bruh putting the words top secret (aka don’t share it around) doesn’t mean they have a document classification system
Way to miss the forest for the trees lmao
You seriously thing in 20 goddamn 23 that people in Iran and Palestine don’t have access to maps and the mental wherewithal to tell their boys not to pass around the battle plans?
They aren’t dumb, I don’t know why you’re so fucking set on framing the Palestinians as morons. Shame on you
I think you miss the point. The point is that the documents are clearly fake. Hamas are not sitting there printing full color battle plans labeled top secret, gently folding them, and taking them to the front line.
Define Hamas sympathizers? Do you mean those that support Palestine?
No. He meant those who support Hamas
I have yet to find a single instance of someone on here supporting Hamas, which is why I asked.
Edit: How do you know what he meant?
Because he said "Hamas sympathizers" in lieu of "Palestinian sympathizers".
I've seen them. Even one of the devs is one
This schizo hate fest isn’t worth the burning of calories.
Oh boy, look at any post from hexbear or lemmygrad. No holds barred supporting Hamas, killing of civilians and terrorism.
Yeah, but both those sites are filled with edgelords and paid trolls/shills, So its not exactly fair use those places as points of facts/sources.
Hell, 4chan is more reputable.
.ml is operated by the lemmy dev, who is a fullblown tankie.
So its not surprising that its being slowly taken over as a new lemmygrad front.
TIL Desalinnes is 67 years old. And apparently from Hungary. Who knew?
There really is no true Scotsman…
Keep movin them goalposts!!!
You keep drinkin that koolaid, bro.
I'm sure it'll do wonders for you.
How about lemmy.ml? Just because YOU haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Tf
I’m sure they exist, I just haven’t seen it. And what of it? Those that support the IDF and Israel’s fascist government are just as bad, so…
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Maybe, but that won't mean they're wrong, nor does it mean that they're right.
Be skeptical of any evidence coming out of an active warzone.You don't have to dismiss it outright, but you also shouldn't accept it outright.
There many domains within modern warfare, including the information domain.
Israel, Hamas, Iran, and all of their supporters and proxies, are actively shaping the information domain, both online, and on the ground.
As an example from the other side, you should keep an eye for the Teddy bears in pictures of destroyed buildings in Gaza. Everything is turned to rubble, but Teddy bears and children's toys have a mystical ability to remain intact, on top of the rubble, and picture perfect.
Why are measured statements like this always so hard for people to fathom?
Because they're rightfully skeptical of "both sides" arguments, which I understand.
But it's just a fact that both sides are engaging in heavy, unprecedented, levels of informational warfare.
Insurgencies themselves are basically violent marketing campaigns, they are not won, or lost, on the battlefield.
Which is precisely why everyone should be skeptical of these kind of stories. Not the point of automatic dismissal, but just stored with a few grains of salt, to be reevaluated at a later date, and with more confirmation, or additional credible information.
I suppose that's a fair point. This is one of the only times the "both sides" argument actually is valid.
Because humans are pathetic emotionally turbulent morons that sometimes manage to act logically
This looks like when Russia found all that evidence laid out on the bed and all those Sims.
