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.

From the moment I learned about the rave being attacked I thought it was insane that they were holding a party of that kind that close to Gaza. It'd be like holding burning man a few miles from occupied Kharkiv in Ukraine. Sure, it would most likely be safe, but who the fuck would think it's a good idea?
I'm pretty sure it's just part of the strategy of piecemeal grabbing of territory. First you start using the buffer zone as an actual buffer zone, then you start gradually allowing more and more use of the space until you've got basically a whole city right next to the border. Then you inevitably get a new 'security incident', which warrants the establishment of a new buffer zone, which is carved out of more previous Palestinian territory.
I think the average Israeli doesn't know the reality of what is across the border, literally hundreds of feet from them.
I went to Israel for a few days and was keen to go to Bethlehem. The Israelis I bet were terrified of the idea, and thought I'd be killed if I went. (I didn't go).
They seemed to be quite cognisant of the danger.
Bullshit. They're all forced to join the military.
Good luck and godspeed, may you be successful.
I wonder if there will be another lawsuit over bombing / shooting the hostages. Just horrific.
Fundamentally different things... Party goers were doing a thing in a place where the government expressly says it's safe and you don't need to go around armed. Very different from enemy combatants using hostages as shields.
Do they mention the friendly fire victims?
