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.

You haven't though, and that is the point.
So let's do it together, shall we?
Let's compare.
What is the definition of a genocide?
"Killing", "Serious bodily harm" "mental harm"
The death toll in #Gaza has surpassed 30,000 — a large majority women and children. Over 70,000 Palestinians have been injured. >12,300 children dead. 17,000 without parents.

check, check and check
Well Israel is deliberately blocking aid and even attacking aid convoys: https://palestine.un.org/en/259747-food-convoy-waiting-move-northern-gaza-was-hit-israeli-naval-gunfire
So, yeah, check.

Orphaned perhaps not close enough? Why force separation though, when the're no-one to separate them from? But don't worry, we got the actual separation also covered:

Intent? Hmm? Let's see what the going rhetoric is around Israel these days.

And I think you'll accept that's not a source biased in favour of Palestine, eh?
How about the people?

Rating: True
That's probably not good enough though, as it's not from this year, right, so it doesn't count that some Israeli were calling for "kill them all" in 2016?
What about
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/israeli-rabbi-calls-for-genocide-of-all-palestinians-in-gaza
So while the ICJ has yet to give a verdict to the actual genocide bit, they have given a verdict that the genocidal rhetoric and actions are definitely happening and Israel must do everything to stop it. If it wasn't happening, that's not a verdict they would give.
To pretend that it's not happening because there's yet to be an official verdict from the ICJ doesn't mean that we can't tell if there's a genocide going on. Come on.
Honestly, what would it take for you to admit that it's a genocide? And not even that. You're saying I'm "randomly throwing around" the word, as if there's zero indication of a genocide? The sheer willfull ignorance, it's staggering.
