World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

AP having difficulties to find the word "massacare"
TL;DR: ~80% of the flour massacare victims were shot by the IDF, not crowd crushed
Amazing that their initial excuse was "No, no, it wasn't us shooting them that caused the deaths, it was the stampede..."
Yeah, genius, and WHAT caused the stampede? Oh, the SHOOTING? Right...
I was amazed I had to post pictures of shot people so often yesterday. All the IDF has to do is make up some blatant bullshit for an extreme war crime and the onus lies on others to disprove it.
Just make sure you link the images, or NSFW them. Lots of folks are sensitive about death and gore.
Honestly, the point of posting such pictures is to rub people's noses in what they are defending. Part of the problem is we keep on censoring ourselves because it makes us uncomfortable.
Oh, I get that, and they probably deserve it, but the random person just scrolling comments doesn't. ;)
No worries I'll always put a huge disclaimer in front of them.
Could you repost the links here? I want to show them to some people trying to say it was a stampede.
Sure thing, here you go
NSFL (Gore+Death): images of shot people
Here is a video with sound of gunfire, tracer rounds can be seen flying but it's not super nsfl

Here is the aerial footage video from the IDF
https://twitter.com/ShaykhSulaiman/status/1763182831574884660
Am I supposed to see anything specific in the videos and images?
In drone footage, all I can see is a mass of humanity swarming the aid trucks and running away panicked.
In the other footage, I hear gunfire, but nowhere near the 1000+ gunshots it would take to wound so many. I’m also not seeing anyone with clear gunshot wounds, or definitive trampling/crowd crush injuries.
In the still photos, I see people who are dead, but I’m not seeing any obvious signs as to how they died.
I don’t like seeing the death, but substantial proof would be helpful in determining the truth.
Well, Israel could release the entire drone footage (including when they openly admit they fired on the Palestinians).
Or let independent journalists into Gaza to investigate what happened.
This would be a simple way of absolving themselves.
The fact they haven't speaks volumes.
You can see bullet holes in those people in the pictures. Try looking again.
Where exactly? I’m really not trying to be obtuse, but I honestly can’t see anything that is clearly a bullet hole.
First picture their heads are leaking blood.
Second one is less bloody but you can clearly see two bullet holes with blood splats in the man's chest.
Third one the child's shoulder.
I see the blood and what you are talking about, but with the level of detail found in those pictures I can’t see bullet holes. It is evidence, much like eyewitness testimony, but not definitive.
Regardless, the unnecessary loss of human life and the suffering of the Palestinian people in Gaza is tragic.
Don't worry everyone, the Biden administration trusts that Isreal will investigate and give us an honest assessment of any "mistakes" they made. Now please just go back to being mad at Wendy's while Biden goes around Congress to ship another batch of bombs to Israel to be dropped on apartment buildings and refugee camps.
This just in. No mistakes were made. No Israelis found in the massacred group.
Not sure if you saw the update but actually Israel didn't do anything more than just fire a few warning shots!
The dozens of Palestinians with bullet holes in them that day got them from, um, something else.
We didn't do it everyone died from crowd crushing.
But now that there's a video with gun sounds, we did do it but we only fired into the air.
But now that there's evidence of bullet wounds, Hamas did it.
But now that the BBC analysis shows that we did it, we were defending ourselves.
Lol yea, they even
but it went pretty much exactly how you described it.
