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.

This is just unbelievable. They destroyed Gaza, attacked Lebanon, attacked UN troops and now Iran.
I am more and more of the view that Israel must be completely disarmed to achieve peace in the middle East, with the UN troops taking control of the entire Palestine/Israel area.
I'm honestly just thinking that at some point they must have pushed it too far. The media is calling this a "retaliation strike" but fail to mention that the missile exchanges with Iran started when Israel "assassinated" a Hamas top in Iran using a bomb last year, with a bunch of collateral casualties.
Like... what does it take to convince all their neighbours to start a ground war in Israel, and for the west to simultaneously look the other way? It looks like they're trying their best to find out.
last year? You mean like two month ago
Right... Im not even able to keep track of the months anymore...
Israel is the war in the middle east. They're like wild pokemon attacking everything around them. Anyone who dares oppose is a "antisemite". And our governments happily arms these people...
The war in Syria is also going on. Israel is nowhere near as involved in that as the U.S., Russia and Turkey are.
Israel's Retaliation Strikes
lol
Came here for this. How can they legally use a headline like that. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Based on intelligence, IAF aircraft struck missile manufacturing facilities used to produce the missiles that Iran fired at the State of Israel over the last year. These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel. Simultaneously, the IDF struck surface-to-air missile arrays and additional Iranian aerial capabilities, that were intended to restrict Israel’s aerial freedom of operation in Iran.
These drones also go to Ukraine
These missiles posed a direct and immediate threat to the citizens of the State of Israel.
Pretty sure these were military targets. I wouldn't trust this kind of propaganda at all.
Americans better get ready to open up their money bags. This upcoming war ain't paying itself either.
Money printer goes brrrrrr. How many simultaneous Israeli fronts can the US taxpayer support ? Let's find out.
