A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

They just killed more than 2000 lebanese because Hesbolla HQ were in civilian areas which made the civilians there all human shields and legitimate target. If Iran or Hesbolla killed 2000 Israelis because of Israel Mossad HQ is there, they would cry about another Oct-7 while Lebanon and Gaza have been having multiple Oct-7ths because of the IDF ever since.
What would Blinken condemn in Hamas that the IDF has not done? We have tens of thousands of kidnapped child hostages in prisons. We actually have videos of decapitaed headless babies in Gaza due to airstrikes by US weapons and airplanes. It's on youtube btw. We have raping of prisoners to death. We have seen deliberate killing of civilians waving white flags and children such as Hind's story where they starved a 6-yr old girl to death trapped in a van with rotting bodies of her family. No military killed as many kids in conflict as the most moral military.
The US supports an occupying aparthied which besiege and cages people like animals and commit every war crime thinkable. The hypocracy from Biden, Harris, Blinken, and WH is all off the charts.
I'm guessing you haven't seen the actual location of those.
Israel's is far from any residential building. It's quite far from any other non-government / military building.
Hezbollah's was directly under residential buildings.
2,000 is the number killed in total from the fighting so far, and they count Hezbollah (and other) combatants as civilians.
