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.

An Associated Press reporter at a nearby hospital saw eight dead children, including a baby, who were brought in after the strike. A surviving child was led down the corridor, her clothes caked in dust, an expression of shock on her face.
In before IDF defenders claim the numbers are lies.
Israel has gone way too far and has no intention of stopping, and the US is sending more money/weapons to commit even more atrocity. When does the international community say enough is enough? What Hamas did is definitely inexcusable but, ignoring all happenings prior, Israel is the bad guy here. When the school bully gives you a black eye, the logical solution is not to burn their house down and murder their entire family.
So we are still pretending this isn't an ooen display of genocide we are just casually watching every day? If you're Americam here. Call your reps today and tell them to pull all funding for this atrocity machine.
I’m still wondering how people are able to defend Israel government’s actions with the phrase “defending themselves”.
This entire situation has nothing to do anymore with defending themselves.
I get it, you want to target Hamas. Understandable. But refugee camps, innocent civilians, journalists? On purpose.
And yet some people claim Israel isn’t the bad one here. Mind blowing.
US asking for an “pause” is also insanity. Pause on what - Killing civilians? Just ceasefire. Innocent people have nothing to do with the entire war.
Wasn’t there an article, where someone lost 36 family members due to Israel’s bombs.
There are no words for that, I genuinely feel so sorry for the person.
Yet here we are, all Presidents just staring at the result and doing nothing. Like that picture “can’t see, hear or say anything”.
This won’t stop Hamas from existing, this will just create an entire new group that will join Hamas eventually.
What happens to those that lost everything and everyone they cared for? They will probably join Hamas and seek revenge and they do not mind dying because inside, they already died with the ones they have lost.
They're brainwashed and just regurgitates what they've been told. Like the guy that keeps copy and pasting the whole cry me a river essay in every post.
Or they're literal paid shills working in the name of nationalism and "diplomacy"
I don't know about that guy. There's soooo much weird stuff going on there. He uses such an odd mixture of words and lingo that it's like he's from 4 different countries sometimes. Always look at who upvotes him though. They certainly like what he has to say and they can't all be crazy.
Nah, they crazy if they like what he has to say.
I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.
Well, there are now...
Israel sure isn't doing Anthony Blinken any favors. That guy has to have ulcers on his ulcers by now. Maybe fuck him though?
I challenge anyone who says there were resistance (fighters) here.
Netanyahu: heh, don't mind if i do.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Gaza’s Health Ministry said more than 9,700 Palestinians have been killed in the territory in nearly a month of war, and that number is likely to rise as Israeli troops advance into dense, urban neighborhoods.
Another airstrike hit a house near a school at the Bureji refugee camp in central Gaza on Sunday and staff at Al-Aqsa Hospital told the AP at least 13 people were killed.
Blinken met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, a day after talks with Arab foreign ministers in neighboring Jordan.
Earlier in his tour, Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who on Sunday reiterated while visiting an air force base that “there will be no ceasefire without the return of our abductees.” He added: “We will just continue until we beat them, we have no alternative.”
But Blinken said that “would simply leave Hamas in place, able to regroup and repeat what it did on Oct. 7,” when the group launched a wide-ranging attack from Gaza into southern Israel, triggering the war.
Thousands of Israelis protested outside Netanyahu’s official residence in Jerusalem on Saturday, urging him to resign and calling for the return of roughly 240 hostages held by Hamas.
The original article contains 1,163 words, the summary contains 204 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
