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.

Governments of Israel supported Hamas to counter PLO's influence in order to undermine Palestinians' statehood goals. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-qatar-money-prop-up-hamas.html
Ummm. It might be good if a war criminal is critical of you. It means you're not a war criminal as well
So he took a break from war crimes and genocide to once again hide behind his antisemitism shield. That shtick is getting old. And to think for 50 yrs I was a supporter. No more.
Good for you. It's brave to change. I had to edit my views a lot too. I appreciate it when people normalize it. /s?
Same here. Israel can go FDIAF for all I care.
No one emboldens Hamas more than Netanyahu bombing Palestinians. Number one recruitment tool.
What is so scary and infuriating is this is the point. Find the blowback and firehose hate at it until you get a nice story you can give the arms dealers.
yup. if you are on the brink of death, and hamas can maybe keep you alive a few more hours, suddenly your moral compunctions with their methods wash away. and so we're clear, hamas sucks. but when faced with death you take what you can get, and bibi is forcing hands
Eat shit you genocidal psychopath. You've emboldened Nazis all around the world.
Stop committing genocide, asshole
Have he tried not bombing civilians in palestine?
They don't need anyone else to embolden Hamas, their complete disregard for the civilian lives does that by itself.
Says the guy who let suitcases full of millions of dollars get "smuggled" to Hamas over and over...
But reporting in the New York Times has revealed that Netanyahu's government was more hands-on about helping Hamas: they helped a Qatari diplomat bring suitcases of cash into Gaza, indirectly boosting the militant organization, according to the report.
The calculus — the Times reported on Sunday, citing Israeli officials, Netanyahu's critics, and the man's own reported statements — was to keep Hamas strong enough to counteract the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, allowing Netanyahu to avoid a two-state peace solution and keep both sides weak.
No one has done more to keep Hamas in power than Israel, because Hamas is their excuse to not treat Palestinians as humans.
Bibi is just probably shitting himself after the people he let smuggle all those suitcase gave trump a 400 million dollar plane.
Less support for Israel could very well have been one of the thing Qatar gets out of that deal

If this turns out to be true I might actually cheer for the Gulf for once.
Nah, man. He's emboldening Hamas. In the long-run, after a generation of hate simmers because of Israel's actions in Gaza, Israel will be right back where it started. He cannot wipe out an ideology. Hamas, maybe. But the threat won't disappear. It'll return.
They are systematically destroying Gaza, that's their plan. They want to make it impossible for anyone to return to Gaza, so that Hamas or the idea of Palestinian Gaza can't continue. Aside from starving the people, they are literally going street by street and leaving nothing but empty desert.
There are singular people in Caterpillar D9 dozers who are posting about destroying 2-3 apartment complexes per day. One person. Think about how long it takes to build an apartment complex, and how much of your life is in your apartment, and what would happen if you just lost all of it one day.
Another favoured tactic is to just fill an M113 with explosives to the brim, and blow it up to flatten a whole street all at once. It is not even a secret that the IDF has it as unofficial policy that if they enter a building in Gaza, they blow it up or burn it down.
Whole towns are destroyed now. Not like "in ruins" destroyed, but "nothing but the desert" destroyed, even the rubble is flattened. This is going to end with millions of dead and refugees as it stands now, angry at a world that let Israel completely erase their lives with impunity.
So says the war criminal
Fuck off bb
From whom?
What is this little bitch bitching about now?
I guess we're just all gonna be Hamas no matter what huh
Honestly I haven't even heard of any attack or repercussions against Israel since the Oct 7 attack. Does Hamas even exist anymore?
They do, and they're still war criminal pieces of shit (just like their bud Netanyahou, who helped them many times) who are hated and protested against by many in Gaza. They're just not getting eliminated at all because the IDF needs an excuse to bomb gaza again.
Hamas still exists. They constantly injure or kill IDF soldiers that move too close to the rubble in Gaza. In particular they keep existing i places that Israel claims to have under control and where they claimto have "eliminated" Hamas.
This shows a few things:
I haven't read it, but I condemn it...
