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.

Who would've thought that when you raze neighborhoods to the ground, force the dislocation of tens of thousands of people, and systematically detonate their schools and healthcare institutions there would be repercussions from them?
Not me that's forsure.
The population of Gaza in 2024 was 2.1 million. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the world (≈5,960 people per km²).
They didn't force the dislocation of tens of thousands, they're FORCING the dislocation of MILLIONS.
I despise the actions of Israel and hope they get what they deserve.
Who would've thought that when you massacre villages it would result in a war?
that's even if palestinians were behind this and this isn't another israeli false flag
Comment in before we find out it was some far right person that wants the genocide to start again.
Edit: Looks like no one was hurt. Less of a chance it was some fascist. They seem to require that each of their attacks kill at least one child.
Fascism needs an enemy.
If this is all above board, this is one of the most considerate acts of terrorism there could be. It obviously wasn't the bombers just accidentally setting the wrong time so that busses just happened to be empty. And that there was a message on one of the bombs that just happened to not explode sure seems like it was intended to not explode. If you've got access to something the size of a bus, intend for it to explode, and want a message to survive, you don't put it on the bomb.
Hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but this seems more like the work of Lyle Lanley than Hamas.
Edit: For those downvoting me - fair.
I was wrong. It wasn’t the monorail salesman from from the Simpson’s. It was Israeli citizens.
Oh, man. Those buses were one day from retirement, too.
Sow chaos, reap chaos
Probably did it themselves
3 empty buses explode, no victims, no wounded.
Terrorist run over crowds in the rest of the world, but in israel they suddenly become humane... yep, they probably did it themselves
This is the kind of resistance I can 100% get behind. Blowing up civilians is generally not good, but absolutely blow up their shit.
Killing innocent people (possibly Muslims/Arabs too) because of a bad government... And you're for that?
Try reading next time: "No casualties"
The buses were blown up while empty in a parking lot, which isn't likely to be a coincidence.
I think it is a bit early to judge either way. Could have been a false flag. Could have been "sending a message" w.o. killing anyone. Could have been a fuckup in setting timers...
The only thing that can be said right now imo. is that putting bombs as packages onto busses and letting them sit their for hours, waiting to be discovered in a country on high alert is not a good plot, if the intent is to blow up busses with many people on them.
I am pro, unless the citizenry is actively revolting against their corrupt government. Complacent people are complicit people.
I did read. Clearly the intent of the bombs was to kill
Nah, those were Boeing buses.
