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.

It takes an hell of an effort to believe anything from the IDF with amount of bullshit they told for decades.
And at the same time it’s totally plausible, that’s what makes it dangerous. No one knows who to believe and no UN forces want to get killed trying to keep things as fair as possible.
"No one knows who to believe" the statement there is for a reason. Killing Journalist and targeting their families, cutting communication is the reason.
Every time they mention people need to move south, they say it's being attacked less, but they don't say what percentage. Is it 95% shelling in the north?
Every single mention of attacks, includes and in the south. Is that just the editors trying to convey information they're not allowed to say?
With the release of the doctrinal document, indicating the depopulation plan of the Gaza strip, move the civilian south, keep the pressure up, then somehow move them into Egypt.
I think more people would actually go south, if they had a guarantee that they would be allowed to return to their homes...
From the reports I've seen which are far from comprehensive, it's closer to 99%.
Almost certainly - Israeli military censorship of the media is fairly comprehensive. They are famously overzealous to the point of refusing to release information even if it would be beneficial to Israel's image - just to protect opsec.
With the release of the doctrinal document, indicating the depopulation plan of the Gaza strip, move the civilian south, keep the pressure up, then somehow move them into Egypt.
Yeah, that document is incredibly worrying. But it's not an official planning document, and the rest of the government seems against it at the moment. From what I can tell, it was authored in part by Kohelet, the same thinktank that put together the judicial reform plan that caused mass protests in Israel earlier this year.
...guarantee that they would be allowed to return to their homes...
Very good point. I doubt they trust the IDF much, but perhaps if it were backed up by the US/Egypt some might accept that.
I guess it was justified because the IDF was using civilians as human shields.
Just terrorists doing terrorist things...
I don't believe it's credible to say the IDF was using human shields.
You'd have a better argument if you said, they were resisting efforts to ethnically cleanse the Gaza strip, or at least the North part.
To use an old Reddit idiom, ESH. Except for the civilians in the crossfire, of course.
The leaders of Hamas and Israel are culpable and should be held fully responsible, but chances are slim to none
