News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Have you been on US military foreign aid missions before?
It's not a new thing, we do it all the fucking time.
Why do you think Palestinians are going to behave like a fucking hoard of zombies?
That's carries some pretty racist connotations...
They can handle queuing up for aid especially if it's being handed out systematically and not dropped from thousands of feet to starving masses.
Like, just not waiting 7 months into this genocide would have made things more orderly.
I'd advise you to take a look at the drone footage from the crowd swarming the aid trucks that led to that massacre west of Gaza City a while ago

So, are you going to let them fire into the crowd or not?
Also, read articles before you link them...
The IDF opening fire is what caused the death...
Any issues before the first shot was because the people who were committing the genocide against those people who were waiting for aid were pointing fucking tanks at them...
How do you not understand how people would be on fucking edge?
Do you think these people are less on edge today?
Are they still in danger of being murdered by genocidal far right extremists?
Yes.
Would they be less afraid if Biden did the right thing and provided aid and the assurance of safety at least while it was distributed?
Also yes.
This ain't complicated, but you keep "just asking questions"...
I'm starting to think that none of this has any chance of being productive.
