"Five Israelis"???
hours after two Palestinian gunmen opened fire on an Israeli military checkpoint, killing two soldiers. Three more soldiers were lightly wounded in the attack in the city of Hebron,
So we are talking about five Israeli soldiers. You know, under the UN Charter, those are perfectly legitimate military targets for palestinian armed resistance to an illegal occupation.
Yes even when Palestinians resistance resists perfectly, CNN will obscure they targeted only military targets.
It's not apartheid - it's much worse
Oh no what a viscous and cowardly attack by these gunmen why won't the gunmen leave us alone these horrible gunmen they just love shooting guns at people for no reason why are they like this
Just keeping an entire population in a big concentration camp, while occasionally bombing the shit of said concentration camp,
people fight back
Usually Americans love when the victim fights back against the bully, so I don't get why the US isn't unified against Israel.
I mean, I do get it. Propaganda and politics as a team sport...
Israeli shoot Palestinian: i sleep
Palestinian shoot Israeli: how can you be antisemite
Antisemitic is a bad term in this context as Palestinians are also Semitic.
No it's not, there are no Semitic people only Semitic languages. Antisemitism has alwats meant anti-jewish prejudice (at least until pro-apartheid fucks twisted and weaponized it to also mean criticizing Israel).
Semitic people or Semites is an obsolete term for an ethnic, cultural or racial group formerly used in connection with ancient and modern peoples of the Middle East including Akkadians, Arabs, Ammonites, Arameans, Canaanites, Edomites, Israelites, Jews, Judahites, Moabites, Phoenicians, Samaritans, and others. Use of the terminology is now largely confined to the field of linguistics in reference to "Semitic.
I think my point stands.
Yes, an obsolete term. The exact passage you cite says your point doesn't stand. Nobody is prejudiced against a language family.
How many days is it until the election in Israel?
Not saying that it isn't a real incident but still curious timing that will definitely be used for the next week that Netanyahu has left to try and remain in control. Until the next jailer in chief gets in.
invade foreign land
get shot at
Just in time for the election!
Oh get fucked Bibi
What does that mean? Nobody gets out or in? Sounds familiar.
Just election pandering
Posting CNN is no different than posting Fox News
I think it is because it's CNN not Fox News.
yeah, one's bad, but the other is worse

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.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.
