What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix

Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Yeah it's Israel who has a monopoly on terrorizing Palestinians if you hadn't noticed
Palestinians terrorism is nothing compared to Israelis terrorism. End occupation and violence will end
That doesn't mean it is right or that the aggressors shouldn't be punished
The killings in Palestine aren't anywhere as bad as the holocaust but that doesn't mean it isn't genocide
That's stupid, multiple things can be true at once
That's not how emotion works
People are engaged in this at a emotional level. They need it to be absolutely one sided as anything else is an attack on their core identity. I think that is why you are being down voted
I mean that is a very valid point. I do wonder why people have decided to make this specific conflict of all things a part of their core identity when they have nothing to do with it, especially when you consider how there are other conflicts of this scale or bigger that either happening or have happened in recent times. Some people are out here trying to justify atrocities because it supports "their side" and it's the craziest thing to me.
You are the type of people who would both side nat turner revolt when he killed kids of slave owners
That's not "both siding", that's being principled. Terrorism is bad, full stop. There are no exceptions for anyone who commits terrorist attacks or justifications for any terrorist attacks.
That both siding. Israel is the occupier palestine is the occupied. You would reject all previous colonized people right to freedom with your logic
If you're actually arguing that the Oct 7th terrorists attacks were justified then you're a literal terrorist sympathizer.
If you think israel 57 years of occupation is justified you are a terrorist
Fuck right off
Oh that's okay then, the kidnapping of some guy in Thailand means all my taxes should go towards turning little kids in Palestine into skeletons instead of healthcare.
This is the textbook example of what a strawman argument is
Reported
Yep I remember this when Hamas blamed Israel on a missile strike that blew up a hospital
Gaza hospital blast likely a Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket misfire, U.S. officials say
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/israel-hamas-war-live-updates-rcna120978
Turned out to be these guys https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_Islamic_Jihad
This is so true:
Among the cascade of horrors unleashed that day, one of the most harrowing sights remains etched in my memory. It was a real-time video, circulated by Palestinian terrorists themselves, showing two men in civilian clothes from Gaza, jostling to capture the perfect angle as they filmed the slow, grotesque beheading of a barely living Thai worker writhing on the ground.
Average low-iq take from Eyekaytee
How many hospitals was bombed by israel?
One is to many...
This is a bad comparison. I'm on the side on not bombing hospitals. Anyone who does so is commiting war crimes.
Huge difference between a misfire and deliberately attacking hospitals like Israel does
"Misfire" means nothing
Israel could claim that all of the lives lost were "misfires." It wouldn't change the fact that they were killed.
thank you
