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.

those IDF soldiers would have to be pretty fucking stupid to accidentally do a hate crime on the large van marked "TV" when there are plenty of other people in beating range they could do a hate crime on with no consequences.
Hanlon's razor be damned this was 100% on purpose.
Edit: and it's not like Israel has a history of killing journalists or anything. Please don't look up "Shireen Abu Aqla", nothing to see there
Edit edit: Shireen ain't the only one, ~20 in 20 years.
why would they have to be stupid?
Have you not been paying attention? Israel literally gets away with murder. day in and day out. People and countries are bending over backwards to ignore every atrocity, human rights violation, and warcrime, to paint them as a poor victim.
I guarantee they could have shot those BBC reporters, execution style, in the street, on film, and absolutely nothing would have come from it.
Exactly I can't even recall the last time Israel paid a consequence for any of their crimes against the Palestinian people
You guarantee isreali police could have executed a handful of full British citizens on the street and nothing would happen? On top of that, British press.
You guarantee? Haha some people on this site.
They're British not middle Eastern, unfortunately for equality and progression there's actually a significant difference.
In the very recent past they shot an American-Palestinian journalist in the neck and then attacked people at her funeral and ripped the flag off her hearse

Interesting read, I opted to look at the source material instead of the YouTube video because YouTube lol.
Apparently she was shot from 200+ meters away as a deliberate assassination which Isreal denied. A mass execution up close of all-british citizens would be treated differently because it's a different situation
Well they are at "war" now so unfortunately mistakes happen like executing the press. /S
Seriously it's not hard to see how they could upgrade from assassination to more close and personal assassination. They really havent faced consequences that would make them think to stop.
