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.

In 2015, Amnesty International claimed that hospitals are used as Hamas bases.
They have also already supplied evidence of some hospitals being used by Hamas to fire at the IDF. 1 2 3
If you don't trust Israel, then here's the EU telling Hamas to stop using hospitals as shields
One video of them shooting at a hospital, one video of tanks in alleys, and one video of a single man in a street with an RPG.
This is not evidence of anything. It's as much evidence of hospitals being command centers as a picture of an RV was evidence for mobile chemical weapons labs in Iraq.

You already showed this to me.
Probably shouldn't use paywalled sources to prove your point bud, especially ones that don't seem to be in amnesty.org (the official website, not an wapo editorial.)
Those all seem to be attacks of opportunity not thought out, well supplied hit and runs like you would expect for "thousands of miles of tunnels" or a "sizable underground garrison". You'd expect combat closer to Vietnamese rat nest attacks of Israel were at all correct.
Ed: you last source doesn't even say it's happening, it says they condemn it, essentially "if your doing it, stop doing it".
I condemn your idiocy.
Neat, love how you think that works.
You can use a paywall bypass, I use 12ft.io, but here's the Amnesty article anyway.
They do say it's happening. What are you on about?
Your link goes to a page about Palestinians being tortured.
I haven't seen anything but condemnation because no one has actual evidence it's happening, Israel who are the most adamant that it's happening won't show proof.
That article also condemns using hospitals, it didn't however say it is happening. They are couching statements because Israel says it is happening and the concept is at the very least plausible and condemnation appeases Israeli allies.
You haven't provided proof, you've provided statements of condemnation, that's different. I can condemn the use of the trashcan at the end of the alley as a toilet, that doesn't actually mean anyone's been shitting in the trashcan just that I think if it happened it would be abhorrent.
Notably absent any actual evidence and it's not like the US would lie to exert influence and justify international conflict.
I remember we stormed that one country because they had "weapons of mass destruction" and 20 years later we found so goddamn many...... No wait we found none and were proven to have known there weren't ever any.
To add to that, the US confirms it as well

Ironically this will probably be down voted as well since this sub is infested with Russian trolls
CNN printed an anonymous source without corroboration. The last time we swallowed bullshit that hard we invaded Iraq.
Just tell me which source you want.

I never said they didn't use tunnels. I said the only evidence for the hospitals being used is "Israel Says". You can't just throw random articles as "sources". They need to actually back up your point and credibly. A tunnel in visual range of a hospital is not it. A blog with unsubstantiated claims is not it. A major news article that doesn't say anything about hospitals, is not it.
And please stop trying to reply to me in two places with the same thing.
