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.

That implicated with bombing cities. What the fuck do people expect to happen if you're throwing a couple tons of explosives on densely inhabited urban areas?
And to think the most recent recruiter for a defense contractor to email me about a job, didn’t like my encouragement for him to swallow a shotgun. Some people 😂
This is tragic and there needs to be answer for it.
It’s a girl’s school, it’s not a military target, there weren’t “militants” inside and this isn’t Hezbollah where they can claim it was being used as a base. What the fuck happened here, and who specifically is responsible?
Some videos show it appears to be a ballistic missle launch failure from a nearby launch site. The videos have not been verified. We likely won't know for sure until after Iran's regime falls.
Either way its a war crime, either the US/Israel struck a school, or Iran placed offensive missle launchers dangerously close to a school/city.
This is not tragic, but a war crime - and this war is itself a crime, simply because it is completely contrary to international law.
It was 60 meters next to a military base
And I don't think we have missiles in our arsenal that are bad enough that they would miss a target by 60m. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.
I hate that it's so on-brand for the US to target a school.
...is it? Genuinely asking. I'm 40 and can't remember ever hearing about the US bombing a school.
The next time I hear someone say "thank you for your service" to a veteran I am going to fucking scream. That phrase always bothered me but this bombing has made it so much worse.
So far Obama has been pretty good at bombing schools. But that Trump guy might be the goat
They're referring to how Americans love to shoot up schools. We have constant school shootings, it's only natural we'd take that next step to school bombings.
why bet on polymarket when you can just invest in kleenex and ky jelly due to the neocons and chicken hawks crawling out from under the rocks these next few weeks?
This was no accident.
There is no better way to create extremists than unjustified murder of their children.
There is no better way to keep a people subjugated than maintaining them in constant fear.
EEUU and Israel needs to keep breeding terrorists to oppress their citizens.
Wake the fuck up!!!
I am really bothered by the fact that claims like this are echoed by media outlets unchecked, while making them seem like journalism by appending 'according to [directly involved party] sources', maybe even 'can't be independently verified'.
I mean, Reuters has confirmed that this strike happened and that the video material is credible. Okay, so far so good. That's bad, and you can report on it and raise questions based off of it. You have something to investigate, you can generate tons of content by discussing adjacent topics, but no, media decides to go for round 2 and report some unverified death toll.
Whether there are 2 or 200 dead children, the story is the same. Why give inherently unreliable sources a stage and credibility by echoing their claim? It's so frustrating that the wider media landscape is based on grabbing peoples attention, rather than good journalism.
