Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

The Israeli government praised the sniper.

I saw the video, he was firing fireworks towards what looked like a fenced border wall, likely manned with soldiers.

Should that fence and other shit be there? Probably not.

Should you be shooting fireworks at armed fortifications during an invasion? Definitely not.

That kid resisted the invasion with the tools he had, he fought and lost.

Regardless, it’s a stupid thing to do. Am sorry for the loss of life, but I didn’t expect anything else to happen. Go during any protest and do the same, in any country. And see how the police reacts. You’ll be the first target for water cannon or batons. Idea of having potentially hazardous thing pointed at you makes them a priority target. Simple as that.

Fuck off. When the troubles where on in northern Ireland the Brits and the ruc weren’t shooting up prods when setting off fireworks and bonfires on the twelfth. But they targeted Catholics using whatever excuse they could think off. Israels doing the same shit, any excuse to kill people seen as less human.

I hope it never happens to your kid. I’m not saying you’re a psychopath, but what you’re saying is complete shit

If you think it’s okay for your kid to go to military, during conflict and fire fireworks at them or close to them, then you are shit parent. And no, what am saying is not complete shit, it’s just pure logic. People are dying by the thousands and you think “let’s poke it with a stick” is a reasonable action?

Slurs are welcome on lemmy as long as we’re talking about people that conservative Democrats want dead.

Nope. Used it in original context… that is of lacking intelligence. But sure, you do you. Fight some more battles over which words offend and which don’t without realizing it’s the meaning behind the word that matters, not the sound it makes.

It’s either that or he just shot fireworks in the air at the start of Ramadan nowhere close to hitting any soldiers.

It looks like he’s shooting it a giant wall with fencing on top of it. Likely the same giant wall with fencing on it where he got shot from.

He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.

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.
