Respect human rights!

Against an enemy who killed 1200 civilians after they signed a ceasefire? Who puts their HQ under a hospital?

The only way human rights can be respected in the future are when Hamas’ ugly face has been wiped off the earth

Israel kills thousands of palestinians every year, even during “ceasefires” but I guess they don’t count, right?

The IDF also has its HQ near a hospital. Guess that’s also different, right? Though even that’s generous because despite the claims over the years I’ve yet to see definitive proof of militant Palestinians operating from within a hospital whatsoever, just Israeli claims.

Or how about the bombing and massacres in the West Bank, where Hamas does NOT control the government? Or how about the fact most of the kids in Gaza are too young to remember the 2006 elections where Hamas was boosted by Israel to power? Or how Israel cut off Gaza’s borders on all sides, forcing civilians to build tunnels to run trade routes?

None of this matters to you because you dont care about palestinians, you care about Israel having its god-given ethnostate.

The accusation that anyone who understands the difficult situation Israel faces is a Jewish fundamentalist is absurd, we might as well say anyone that supports Palestine is a Muslim fundamentalist that wants Sharia law worldwide.

I’m not defending everything Israel has done but also I’m not dumb enough to think if the tables were reversed that Palestine would be smiling as Israel chucks rockets at it and saying ‘we don’t want to kill Israeli citizens so we’re not going to fire back’ we all know they’d have done what they often talk about and pushes the Jews into the sea.

I don’t like the government of Israel but at least they care about their own citizens, Hamas are controlled by religious crazies like Iran who are more than happy to increase the suffering of their citizens just to create good propaganda - hence digging up water pipes to make rockets, stockpiling fuel underground while hospitals run dry, putting military facilities under schools and hospitals, blocking roads so civilians can’t flee combat zones, and endless more examples.

Yes, definitely, Israelian lives matter more, of course. What are Arabs even doing, we should kill all of them, right, right? /S

I would argue that this is highly questionable. In times of war the truth is the first casualty.

World News

!world@lemmy.world

Create post

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.
