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.

Aaah here we go. The human shield excuse all over again. Worked last time
Not for nothing but during this entire debacle I think we all need to pay very close attention to sources. This one should make you cautious during any normal time much less right now.
much less right now.
I think you mean "even more".
But I agree.
Even the reasoning in the article makes no sense. Does America have to close its airspace anytime it launches an attack on a foreign country from an American base too?
Despicable. They want to win at all costs, even the cost of their own people.
What do you expect?
Their entire philosophy of war is centered on terrorism, they have nothing else.
They consider putting the taliban in power, twice, to be a strategic win.
And their expulsion and genocide of Hindus in Pakistan makes zionists drool.
There's a reason east Pakistan isn't east Pakistan anymore.
Of course the Nazi is for modi.
Why didn't you stay in america with the others
I'm in no way in for modi, he should get fucked to death too.
But Pakistan's leadership has to burn, they're genuine evil.
I dunno man... I don't know much about Pakistan or India. Why is their philosophy centered on terrorism? Why did they consider that? I feel like both sides are brainwashed to hell and need to chill out.
The dude said Palestinians deserved it because they were "kinda dicks". He's an islamophobe. Don't engage
Said the fascist that keeps being banned for death threats, racism and anti-antisemitism.
India is led by hinudtva ultra-nationalists who brainwash their people into hating Muslims. Among other things Indias is militarily supporting Israel even with troops to help massacre Palestinians.
Pakistan by no means has a white west, but if you hear talking points claiming all of Pakistan to be terrorists, you should recognize the playbook.
This whole post is fishy imo
Pakistan literally expelled or massacred their Hindu population, in a way that would make zionists drool.
Ther are 240m Muslims in Pakistan, 200m in india, and India has many other religions besides becausw they have religious freedom written into the constitution.
This is like saying 'Nazi Germany is more tolerant than other countries!" AFTER they exterminated all the jews.
I did not say anything about Pakistan except that the narrative that they would all be terrorists is bullshit. Modi's government is actively sowing hatred and disinformation against Muslims and they are very different from previous Indian governments. Also Muslims are not the only people persecuted by the Indian government. There was a high profile assassination of a Sikh in Canada initiated by the Indian government in 2023. Sikhs and Muslims have been subject to Pogroms in India repeatedly and the current government is actively escalating tensions to initiate riots and pogroms.
So the narrative of "terrorists" has to be seen in that context.
I'm not arguing modi isn't a piece of shit.
But Pakistan has been basically nazi level since it's foundation.
In my opinion this is why it was stupid to fuck around with India so much, at some point some psycho will take power and the find out phase will kick in.
