An additional benefit is the bulletproof glass, in case the IDF mistakes it for an ambulance.

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.

That’s wonderful. Israel will just blow it up, because.
He might have been old and frail, but apparently stayed up to date with world affairs.
While hopelessly symbolic, this is an excellent move to draw attention to the hunger and disease occurring in Gaza due to Israel's blockade on humanitarian aid.
Goodness, that is so touching. What a noble heart he had. Thank you for sharing this.
Its a Toy Yoda! ....oh a Toyota! Darn. Okay, it's still good.
Is that even remotely feasible without spending more money than it would take to buy a rolling medical center?
I think Gaza is not a money issue. The money that's already there, the aid that's already there waiting on the border would be able to do infinite good already.
This is actually good for two things:
- calls attention to the issue in a way that pierces more bubbles than another Al Jazeera article
- will call special attention to it again when Israel will inevitably blow it up
When you've got the Pope mobile in your sights, you'd hope that might make you question whether you're on the side of righteousness.
Looks like this particular popemobile was recently commissioned, and it's large. Built on a dodge ram truck. He planned to donate that from the beginning, though I suspect he expected to be alive when it was converted.
In related news this is the first time a popemobile was used as a hearse, since it's spec'd in a way that allowed that.
I think it's clever. If it still resembles a popemobile after the conversion the image of it destroyed may haunt Isreal. But yes, he ensured it would be feasible.
Probably not.
