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.

Defense force that engages in committing genocide, where have I heard that before.
They could rebrand to some sort of ᛋealous ᛋionist Protection Squadron.
The parallels are so ridiculous you'd almost think they made it on purpose.
I mean, by this point regardless of your view on justification and conduct of both sides they are well enough in that no one could really dispute this part.
The connotation of what an occupation force does could be debated however.
I thought peace keepers were a cheesy name in hunger games but evidently not
the army said that it had "identified a number of terrorists armed with anti-tank missiles" approaching troops in Shejaiyya, and called in a helicopter strike on them.
It also said fighter jets had been striking terror targets in the Gaza Strip, as ground operations continued.
The area of Zeitoun, where the family house once stood, is now the focus of fresh operations by the IDF.
Everything is Hamas.
I mean they are terror targets alright, targets of terror bombings.
Don't misinterpret this as a slight to the main topic, but I am unable to imagine 110 people living together in one house.
The four-storey building where the family was killed sat around the corner from the Sahaba Medical Centre in Gaza City's Zeitoun neighbourhood.
~25 people a floor.
Consider that Gaza is one of most overcrowded areas in the world.
@Infiltrated_ad8271 Gaza has a huge housing shortage as they lose more and more of their land and houses to "settlers" each year. They also have a lot of diffuculty getting building materials because of the blockades.
If you read this article about housing it talks about a guy building his house on the second story of a family member's house.
And the photos are basically showing us low rise apartment blocks. So by 'house' I think it means a small apartment block.
IDF bombed 4 of them too so maybe some of the extended family were in those.
There haven't been any settlers in Gaza since 2005, what are you talking about? You mean the West Bank?
How do you even remember all their names??
You call em "brother" and it solves all of those issues
Just take them all to Sam Malone's bar.
That is terrible to see for him.
This guy wasn’t a terrorist before, but he’s likely to become one after such a thing. And IDF should be the only ones to blame for whatever he decides to do.
Hamas was created by Israel, and shit like this is how they did it. I lay the blame for every terrible thing Hamas has done directly at the feet of the IDF.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
When 103 relatives were killed in a strike on their family home in Gaza City, he was stuck 50 miles (80km) away, in the occupied West Bank town of Jericho.
Unable to hold his children's bodies or be at their hurried burials, he still speaks of them in the present tense, his face motionless beneath the rolling tears.
It is now a mound of splintered concrete, the rubble shot through with bright dots of colour: a green plastic cup, shreds of dusty clothing.
In response, the army said it was not aware of the strike in question, and that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) took "feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm" in its war with Hamas.
There was intense fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas gunmen in the area of Shejaiyya, a few blocks south of the al-Ghuferi house, in the days immediately before and after Ahmad's family were killed.
In a daily update on 9 December, the army said that it had "identified a number of terrorists armed with anti-tank missiles" approaching troops in Shejaiyya, and called in a helicopter strike on them.
The original article contains 1,024 words, the summary contains 184 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Damn, he had 103 daughters? Dude wanted to beat good old Genghis Khan
