As Gaza nears famine, the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC instructs supporters to tell lawmakers that “reports that people are starving in Gaza are false.”

    The aggressive Zionists are lying to our faces, killing journalists, and censoring news sources that disagree. These folks have no integrity and actively oppose truth because the truth of the situation is disastrous for their support. Here’s former Israeli PM Yair Lapid telling the world that “if the international media is objective, it serves Hamas. If it just shows both sides, it serves Hamas.”

    Just because it’s an important disclaimer - “Zionist” is not the same as “Jew” or even the same as “Israeli”. Racism is never the informed choice, and there are many dissenting Jews inside and outside of Israel. I’m friends with a Jew who has been horribly persecuted by their own family for breaking ranks and to me they are meaningfully courageous. Lots of Zionists aren’t even Jews. Judge based on actions, not genetics or residence.

      I heard on bbc this morning they are trying to force the ultra Orthodox Jews into the military, which is against their religious views. I briefly looked online, and many orthodox are anti Zionist as well (although many do support Israel as a country in general)

      Netanyahu is grasping at power so he can avoid his ongoing prosecution for corruption and fraud.

      It is very sad.

      Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

      if the international media is objective, it serves Hamas. If it just shows both sides, it serves Hamas.

      Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

    Dumb Genocide Enthusiasts: “People aren’t starving, there’s plenty of dead people and animals to eat in Gaza right now…”

      I can see you’re trying to be funny (I hope), but that is beyond bad taste.

      Edit: that is not meant to be a pun. It’s not funny.

        It was actually meant to be sardonic, and while sardonic comments may seem funny at times, they come from a place of cynicism and judgement, which should be obvious from my calling them “genocide enthusiasts”.

    Since February 9, the average number of trucks that entered Gaza daily was about 55, compared with 500 that used to enter before the start of the conflict, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

    Can’t have anything to do with that. Must be Hamaas

    At first glance, I thought that thumb in front of the report looked like…something else 😂

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.
