Sounds like it was the BBC that had omitted the context in the original headline. If anything this highlights how wild it is that Reddit titles still can’t be edited

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
The only reason I can think of for that rule is to prevent people from posting something that's very agreeable and then changing it to something terrible once it has thousands of upvotes, and making it look like many people support the terrible statement.
Not even mods can do this in Reddit, though. Seems like an unreasonable restriction.
If only there was a system that logged every moderator action into a public page that everybody can see. Maybe we can call it "modlog" or something like that.
Impossible!
I mean people do that in comments anyway.
Only let the OP add new title candidates, but then use reddit voting to select the replacement?
Probably still game-able, though
Despite the BBC their extreme pro-Israel bias they never report these titles without sneakily shoving the claim on a third party so they can absolve themselves of their lies.
According to web archive this is the first title but it had been taken a while after the fact.
https://web.archive.org/web/20250708132132/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1mz8gxzg82o
I mean, it’s pretty standard for newsrooms to report who is making a claim. I read Reuters stories all the time that quote TASS (Russian news agency) without verifying the veracity of the report. I can’t recall a time the reports didn’t say something akin to “Reuters cannot verify the accuracy of the claim at this time”
Def not cool of the BBC to originally bury the source of the claim in the headline though. Thats bad reporting.
BBC loves platforming Zionist savages
Israeli experts in using sexual violence as a genocidal strategy, eh?
lol I just got banned for commenting in this thread. Not sure what I even said but presumably for criticizing the IDF’s war crimes. The mods there are unhinged.
World news is quite pro Israel.
Worldnews is the most astroturfed pro-Israel subreddit in the entire site. Anything that talks about Israel-Palestine has hundreds of Mossad trolls working overtime. The only time you'll see a post in Worldnews being anti-Israel is if the thing being talked about is so damn egregious that the trolls can't brute force positivity on it. Like the time when someone revealed Israel was using AI to target people and that it was acceptable to kill 100 civilians to get rid of one senior Hamas member.
I got a ban from there after being confronted by a /pol/ troll. One of the ones that attacks things they don't like as being Indian. They said something about them needing to be genocided. I called them a nazi. That was the reason for the ban.
So that's why I'm pretty sure the mods of subreddit are basically /pol/. I think that whole subreddit is a front for controlling narratives.
Am I the only one who wonder about a Hamas "genocidal" strategy? That they wish they could kill all Israelis, no doubt, but "genocidal strategy"?
Are we supposed to believe they thought they would get all Israelis on Oct 7th or something??
no doubt
Maybe you should have some doubts, given that these kind of claims are circulated by Israel to manufacture consent
They do not with to kill all Israelis. Where did you get this ridiculous claim from?

The original 1988 Hamas covenant, which has never been revoked officially, literally quotes a Muslim scholar?
Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it" (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).
Israelis
Israel
Are these the same word or are these different words?
Usage of the word "obliteration" denotes images of peaceful protests and systematic dismantling in you?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_7_attacks?wprov=sfla1
Much peaceful.
Which one came first? The peaceful protest or the violent resistance against occupation?
I think there is a small typo in this title of about six letters
