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.

At least 13 children among dozens killed in Israeli strike on home in northern Gaza, officials say (www.theguardian.com)

At least 25 Palestinians have been killed, including 13 children, and another 30 wounded in a pre-dawn Israeli strike on a home in the Jabalia area of northern Gaza that has been under siege for weeks, Gaza’s civil defence agency said on Sunday.

A reporter for the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera posted footage of the bodies from the scene on X, saying at least 32 people had been killed and that the death toll was one of the biggest so far in Jabalia, where hundreds of people have been killed since the Israeli operation began last month.

Anas al-Sharif said the home belonged to the Aloush family and that no civil defence agencies or ambulances had been able to reach the area due to the Israeli siege and that locals were still searching for more victims.

It was not possible to independently verify the report as Israel does not allow foreign journalists into Gaza.

Not once did I see the descriptor "Hamas run." It's about goddamn time Western media started moving away from that to cast aspersions on the truthfulness of Gazan government statements.

Also,

A UN report this week said that nearly 70% of the people killed in the war in Gaza have been women and children.

That's 70% out of 8000 deaths verified by the UN, not the full 40,000 that that the Gazan ministry of health claim have been killed.

If you know someone who is Jewish, talk to them. Let them know that you support them and their culture. Also let them know that you in no way support Zionism and the systematic genocide of the current Israeli regime. The only way this can stop is both ceasing arms shipments and most importantly creating a culture shift away from violence that comes from within the Israeli population.

Yeah probably not happening. Remember that both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan needed to be occupied and forced to undergo this cultural shift.

Apartheid South Africa didn't, though. They're a much more recent and also more similar regime, and what it took was a combination of being shunned by the international community and internal resistance.

Just because the West has a huge violence hammer (band name) doesn't mean that every rogue nation is a nail.

Apartheid South Africa was much less extreme than modern Israel though. Zionists straight up want to genocide Palestinians for Lebensraum; unlike SA Apartheid, which only requires violence in the face of resistance, Zionism is an inherently violent ideology.

Not saying not to do what you say but Jewish population in America is only 2% this is not enough to make a change. We should talk with anybody who defend Israel or is neutral with the occupation. We should continue and encourage people to boycott companies supporting Israel and we should encourage people to try voting to a 3rd party

Not saying not to do what you say but Jewish population in America is only 2% this is not enough to make a change

Israel has a population of ~9.75 million.

The US has a population of ~335 million people.

As of 2020, the American Jewish population is estimated at 7.5 million people, accounting for 2.4% of the total US population.

If All American Jews managed to convince just 1.3 Israeli's, that'd be the entire population influenced.

But perhaps you're saying 2% isn't enough to affect change internally within the US? Probably not true either, 2% is 1/50 people. And as we all know from tinfoil wearing conspiracy nuts, Jews have disproportionate representation in politics. (I do not know or care whether that statement has any veracity; I'm saying it sarcastically.)
