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.
-
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.

Wait I thought Israel was genociding 18000 children a day and now they are letting them walk away? Hamas won't be happy to see their "nation of martyrs" abandoning their posts just like that.
Funny watching you people use the same rhetoric the alt-right uses when talking about the number of Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
Disgusting comparison. And you probably wonder why you get called an antisemite.
Nah. I don't get called an anti-semite.
You probably wonder why nobody takes your accusations seriously. Gonna block you now.
If you walk like a duck and quack like a duck... You might just be parroting Nazi rhetoric.
That is a judgment of your rhetoric not on your race or religion take your victim complex elsewhere and stop using "anti-semite" as a cudgel to try and win arguments. It is fucking gross.
Quite a few bigots hittin that downvote button but afraid to justify their actions.
All I hear is Nazi quacking when you can't use your words.
It was per second. /s.
It’s telling how no one even ask how they can simultaneously claim they are buried under the debris yet they have a fatality count. I have tried to look for stratified counts to see if there was a huge difference in fatalities between men and women. I am sure that those statistics would show what’s actually happening because they could be checked for accuracy and would tell you if they really targeted civilians. But it seems that the people against israel have made their minds and are not trying to understand what is happening.
Take a look at this daily brief put out by OCHA (UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs). It's dated 6 November 2023.
Their "Data on Casualties" tracker is more detailed in its breakdown, but is slower to update (as noted on that page).
Edit: So, of 5918 adult fatalities listed, 2550 (43%) were women. It's not clear to me at first glance if the remaining 57% are men, or if there are some undetermined folks mixed in.
Thanks. That is helpful. Where are you seeing those numbers in the page? When I looked at gaza fatalities in the site you shared it shows 5365 total and 586 are women so about 10%. Even if we are both looking at different sections I can’t reconcile 40% with 10%.
It's from OCHA's daily brief.
I did math on this part of the report:
10,022 reported fatalities 2550 women 4104 children.
Subtract the children, you get 5918 adult fatalities. (10,022 - 4104=5918)
Edit: the "Data on Casualties" is, like I mentioned, slower to update. There's a date filter--the fatalities listed are from earlier conflicts in the region, or in Israel or the West Bank.
The numbers on the right side don't add up.
Is there an official definition of "family"? I ask because I'm curious if they count multiple generations living in separate housing units in the same building a single family or if they only consider nuclear families (spouses + immediate children, maybe cohabiting parents or siblings?)
EDIT: I tracked down the last report where the numbers were close to adding up - it seems they are tracking three things:
Interesting
The list is online. You are not looking for the answer.
They believe what they want to believe. That's why they demand the highest scrutiny for everything that Israel says but greedily eat up every number that Hamas puts out. The complete fantasy story about the "destroyed" hospital meant nothing to them.
