World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
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.

"hamas style" is that like art Deco? Maybe art Nuevo?
You mean the place the hospital is located and constructed? Weird things in Gaza would be built in Gaza.
Hamas-chic
Made of a garbonzo bean based cement?
Terrorism just got delicious.

They use a specific type of cement piece construction they developed over time to let them build tunnels quickly for cheap. It's been documented historically and proudly by Hamas.
It's the shape of the stone arches and the smaller U shaped pieces in the shaft that tell you it wasn't Israeli built.
So a "technique" that would be easy and cheap to replicate rapidly. Is it not then suspicious it's been quite some time between raid and any amount of investigation?
Ah, glad we have an expert in primitive construction and not just that but one who's seen these tunnels in person. What's your name again so we can verify your conclusion?
Literally go watch the videos of journalists in the tunnels. Nothing will change your mind.

Literally go watch the footage.

It's easy and cheap using smuggled concrete not doable in days with functional air conditioning systems.

It takes time to disarm a possibly booby trapped tunnel and avoid potentially collapsing the buildings with civilians on top. It takes time to do an investigation of a crime scene.
Yes, isreali approved releases of ungeolocated video by approved journalists, not investigators.
We knew there were bunkers under all shifa, we knew there were tunnels under al shifa, we know both of these things because Israel used them when they controlled the hospital. What we don't have is a. Proof hamas made them, b. That is used offensively c. That there was any use prior to Israel breaking a wall down to gain access to tunnels and bunkers they admit they built.
Ditto bud, your own sources say they do not look recently used.
Also the proof is that hamas made them in their own style, far away from the Israeli built Bunker and on lower levels.
They're own style, you mean the Roman Arch and a fucking wall? Who could have thought of that aside from ww1 trenches, WW2 trenches, isreali trenches or I dunno literally anyone past like 1000bc.
Literally nothing with change your delusions in reality. So I'm going to stop bothering.
It's delusional to want evidence from experts who are actually there, not from journalists who have a perverse incentive to release only what Israel allows.
Wait for things to actually be investigated before calling it proof. It's absurd to take sides during a war with evidence that's solely controlled by one party and supported only by their allies.
Wait, see. Don't trust the people who have a track record of lying about the same shit they're talking about now and that goes equally to Hamas as it does to Israel.
But you know, logic huh? Why bother, who needs that. We all know the scientific method is "trust Ted, it benefits him more than anyone but why would ted lie?"
They are used recently but have had weeks to clear out, as stated
It doesn't say that at all, the best consensus of your sources is that they do not look recently used.
Literally in the footage they point out it's got working AC, and have had days/weeks to beat it.
Oh you mean the power in an Israeli bunker is on after isrealis have had access, weird huh.
It's been geolocated. Try again.
Quad replies, ooo touched as nerve huh. Also no they haven't.
Yes they have including by all the international journalists who have been there in the last few days.
No they haven't, Israel won't let them.
