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.

This is what they do. They specifically target civilians, civil institutions, journalists, aid workers, aid orgs, and essentially any target that causes suffering amongst the civilian population. Israel is terrorist state, and it's time they were treated as such.
No you don't get it, HAMAS was there! They're in the schools, they're in the trees, they're in the dumpster, they're in the basement and in the garage, they're in the soil and in the wind, HAMAS is the sun and the moon, they're everywhere!!! It's their fault we have to bomb everything! We'll never be safe until we nuke the entire planet! HAMAS is in me! AHHHH!!!
HAMAS is in me! Title of IDF's sex tape?
Ah, my personal space
This is horrible. What was ostensibly the target, the article mentions nothing about that.
The strikes defied what Mikati had told Al Jazeera just a day earlier were assurances given by the US that Israel would reduce its attacks on Beirut.
...Does the US have any credibility left when it comes to assuring others what Israel will do?
Nope. That was gone months ago. All they've done for most of a year is repeat whatever Israel says. Even when Israel immediately makes them liars.
What was ostensibly the target, the article mentions nothing about that.
I think even the Israelis are tired of lying about it. Why even bother anymore? The UN and iCC are more or less disbanded. The US shields them policially and militarily. The American leaders and voters of both parties are overwhelmingly on board. Even American college students are cowed. There is no resistence now and there wont be any in the next 4 years, across the globe. They can do and say whatever they want.
Note how Israel isn't even at war with Lebanon. They're ostensibly at war with Hezbollah.
"Lebanon is Hezbollah". The newest hit single by the IDF known for songs like "UN is Hamas" and "elementary school girl is Hamas"
Don't forget "Criticism is antisemitism"
It'd be faster to count who among the goy is not Hamas.
Holy shit. They are just cartoonishly evil now.
A Lebanese priest, (yes Christian priest), described them hitting a church marked as, and being used as a refuge shelter on NPR. This is the same stuff we fell over ourselves to condemn in Ukraine.
.So much for the lebanese govt or lebanese people trying to sit this one out and let Hezbollah get taken out. Israel doesnt see any difference between Hezbollah and innocent Lebanese. Not surprised. Israelis see all goyim, including christians, as animals.
