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.

Imagine being 11 and having your entire family of 10 other people die at once. Hopefully the hospital he's staying at isn't bombed.
It's like they're trying to create a new generation of terrorists that despise them
Ugh ... as if I didn't already know Netanyahu literally helped keep Hamas in power so people would be less sympathetic to Palestine.
We have some really disgusting people running this world these days. I thought humanity would figure things out eventually but we seem wholly incapable of learning anything from past attrocities for longer than a few generations
Iirc, it's the same hospital his mom, who is also a doctor, works at. So they have each other at least.
Damn, both parents are doctors? Wow. I wish the family the best.
Many and many large family had the same fate. Israel evilness has no limit
Fuck Israel
Even worse for that 11 year old survivor boy. Almost makes me think he will be better off not surviving this. 😢
Mom is still alive, she was working when the house was bombed and the bodies were brought in. I hope he survives so they at least have each other.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that.
I am hurting so much for them, and every parent that lost a child, and every child that lost a parent. Being a parent and a child myself, these stories are heartbreaking. Unforgettable stories.

Death to america.
