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.

So she's the lone dissenter in the very restrained preliminary ruling about the Gaza genocide. Her own country condemns her for genocide denial. Then she gets promoted.
Someone tell me how that doesn't stink to high heaven?
She even used THIS old bullshit:
Not anymore. Now they order them to a "safe corridor" and then bomb them there.
Only way to honestly believe that is to blindly believe everything the IDF says with absolutely no knowledge of their past behavior.
Again, they don't do that shit anymore.
They're literally doing the opposite!
Her dissenting opinion is here. It's quite thorough, and while reasonable people could disagree on each point (myself included), I didn't find anything overtly biased in her analysis. Paragraphs 22 - 30 are the bulk of her analysis. Chiefly she cited 3 concerns:
Yet another stereotypical pro-Israel whataboutism. There's a hell of a lot of wiggle room between "don't keep bombing and starving Palestinian civilians while making most of them homeless on purpose" and "unilaterally withdraw completely".
Also, it falsely assumes that it's a conventional war between two armies with somewhat equal conditions, which could hardly be further from the truth: Israel has one of the largest and most advanced militaries in the world and Hamas' "fighters" are a few thousand scattered terrorists with whatever weaponry they can cobble together in spite of the embargo.
Which would make it a stern reminder, since they're currently ignoring that obligation completely. That doesn't invalidate the order at all.
Because so is the Israeli government. Every civilian location they bomb, they claim was a secret Hamas base, hardly ever producing a shred of proof or even reliable information that might make them mistakenly think that's the case.
As demonstrated above and in my original comment, she's either extremely biased or totally incompetent. Which in turn means that your assessment comes from
a) your own bias,
b) your own ignorance,
c) you being deliberately dishonest or
d) more than one of the above.
My money's on d.
