Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

Sorry, but Israel had the support of the entire world, even Muslims, and lost it within a week. Nobody to blame but themselves. They thought it was a blank cheque to just start killing anything and everything that moves.

If Israel cares so much, just go into the tunnels and fight your real enemies, you know where they are. Nope, they're just cowards at this point.

Oh yes, just send soldiers into the cramped enemy spaces. Sounds like a genius tactical maneuver.

Is killing thousands of children a genius tactical maneuver?

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Ask Hamas hiding behind these children. They're perfectly okay with it.

[–] TinyPizza@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, but they didn't bomb the children. That's why people hide behind children, so that you won't bomb them. If they know that conventional empathy is no longer effective as deterrence, wouldn't they probably not be hiding behind children anymore? Couldn't you just be killing children at this point and its just children?

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's why Hamas is making sure civilians can't leave the strike areas. They need to maximize the dead for their own propaganda.

[–] TinyPizza@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago

Do you have evidence of this? If this is true then why even give evacuation orders?

[–] Saxoboneless@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

They were hiding behind over three thousand children? That's the argument youre going to make? And Israel still hasn't gotten all of Hamas? Is Hamas just hiding under piles of children? How the fuck do you look at over 3,000 corpses of children and claim that a significant majority were actually just obscuring Hamas members, you fucking nutjob?

[–] Zippit@lemmy.world -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But with your perfect army and perfect tech and perfect iron Dome, why not? They're just animals and the hostages were dead the moment they crossed the border right? Right?

[–] DoomBot5@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Unlike you, they're not stupid. That's why.
