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.
-
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.

Then why are you trying to provide cover for a country actively engaged in systemized rape, torture, and Genocide?
There’s no genocide going on. It’s a war against an extremely deeply entrenched enemy in a densely populated urban environment.
Rape and torture have happened, but are not systemic.
Israel does questionable and bad things, for sure. However it’s not the most evil state ever, that it’s often depicted as.
Nuance, truth, and perspective of the other side are important in this conflict.
Any country that intentionally withholds food, medicine, and potable water from a population it considers problematic is a nation intentionally committing genocide.
It is, in fact, the most common, and efficient, form of genocide ever.
That is just one of the reasons the ICC, the organization literally with the legal authority to determine of some thing is genocide or not determined that Israel is plausibly committing genocide.
You like to talk about truth and nuance a lot. Forgive me if I trust the literal genocide determining organization and not the self confident black and white statement og some asshole on the internet that loves to talk about nuance except when it comes to their own statements.
As to the systemic system of rape and torture, why don't you read Israels OWN fucking reporting on Sde Teiman.
Any nation that murders at least 100,000 children is fucking evil. And those are not Hamas's numbers. Those are the Lancet medical journals numbers. I'm not saying they are the most evil, as that would maybe be the British Empire, off the top of my head.
That number is an estimate in an opinion piece, not a peer reviewed article. There’s no factual basis. The authors have already regretted putting the numbers in there.
People under 18 are not all children. Young adults of 17 definitely aren’t children like 3 year olds. Plenty of teenagers in Gaza are members of armed groups and participating in the fighting.
It's not an opinion piece. It was labeled a correspondence, and isn't peer reviewed, but the methodology for measuring dead in conflicts where the ability to make such counts is, and they used the conservative side of those calculations. The authors didn't express regret, merely that some people made claims the article didn't make.
Such methods are required, because Israel has intentionally bombed every hospital in Gaza to make counting the dead difficult, if not impossible, then insulting the methods required to actually estimate the dead. It sure would be nice if Israel didn't intentionally destroy all civilian medical infrastructure and send many of the doctors to a torture camp so we could have some actual numbers.
But, that's the point, isn't it? That's also the point of my comment you didn't bother addressing at all because you know there is no moral defense, even though you're willing to try and justify the murder of children.
Concentrating people in an enclosed area, and removing their access to food, water, and medicine is both the most common and the most efficient method governments have used historically engaged in the process of genocide.
And starvation kills children first, with the youngest dying the earliest.
It isn't astounding that you (presumably, based on your instance) are from a country whose highest proportion of people charged with antisemitism are Jewish people protesting the genocide.
That is a misrepresentation of what the ICJ ruled. You can’t even tell apart the ICJ and the ICC, it seems. You can’t even get the organization right.
Here you can hear the President of the ICJ explain what is meant by plausible.
Plausible only refers to the right of South Africa to bring this case to the ICJ.
You're right about the ICJ vs ICC which is a mistake I don't ordinarily make. My only execute for that is I woke up in the middle of the night from a migraine.
Your quotes however are extremely cherry picked, and your description of what they mean is absolutely wrong.
Part of the case was about establishing South Africa's right to bring the case, but part of it was to determine the plausibility of the charge.

But, I'm sure NPR is Hamas, right?
Since when does the West Bank have restrictions on Journalists entering?
You don’t believe the president of the court you cite, okay then.
I literally posted a link, so others don't have to determine of over cherry picked my quote that shows my assertion.
You don't believe anything that goes counter to your love for an apartheid government.
