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.

MODERATORS
Ignore the user who posted it, but this was recently aired on BBC: https://x.com/MarioNawfal/status/1725581508340015530?s=20
The IDF claims that, between their first video through the MRI room and when they led the BBC through it, they found another gun and put it in the MRI room.
We can take a step back and ask why guns made of metal were anywhere near an MRI, but we can also ask where the IDF supposedly "found" the original guns.
Also of note is that the laptop shown at the end of the "uncut" al-Shifa video... Uses an Israeli power plug and displays an IDF soldier. The IDF later took the video down and re-uploaded it with that picture blurred.
I'm not buying anything the BBC says regarding this conflict. They have repeatedly had to apologise for flat-out lying during their reporting.
They also had the government warn them of their impartial reporting during an anti-semitic attack, where they claimed that the Jewish victim perpetuated the attack.
Oh, but there's even more. In 2004, the former BBC Director of News commissioned a report into the impartiality of the BBC reporting on conflicts in the Middle East, particularly Israel-Palestine. The BBC spent £330,000 in legal costs (not including staff or VAT) contesting again and again the findings of the report, themselves refusing to publically release the report's findings. Fighting in court repeatedly against activists for almost a decade to withhold the report findings is extremely suspicious.
The BBC's history of being biased or misleading shows they cannot be trusted for news in the middle-east.
Because without electricity, the MRI is off? Hospitals don't tend to use MRIs during extraordinary crises due to power consumption.
Yes, in the video, they say that it was one of their captured soldiers. As for the power plug, I don't see what that proves? The soldiers plugged in the laptop to view its contents? Hamas had an Israeli power bank? The main issue is that there were guns inside the hospital, which violates Article 19 of the Geneva Convention, which means that the hospital loses its immunity--that's the problem worth noting here.
The IDF published the first video and the BBC published the second video. You can verify the presence of an additional gun yourself.
That means that we know the IDF intentionally placed another gun behind the MRI machine and calls into question whether the other guns were placed there by the IDF as well.
The IDF is framing it as an uncut, first look inside the hospital (that is, before the IDF got a chance to mess around and manipulate evidence). That's clearly untrue, which is why the IDF took the video down and blurred the laptop.
I dunno why i bother when you just ignore all the evidence that the BBC can't be trusted.
I suppose CNN can't be trusted either? Or the NYT? They're reporting on this too.
