- 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. 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.
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.

Hagari warned residents in southern Lebanon to leave areas where the armed group has positions. Civilians in the area received calls with the same message.

“We advise civilians from Lebanese villages located in and next to buildings and areas used by Hezbollah for military purposes, such as those used to store weapons, to immediately move out of harm’s way for their own safety,” he told journalists.

Yeah because that helped save so many Palestinians when they listened to that advice from Israel.

IDF: Lebanon civilians, leave your houses as we want to destroy the munitions Hezbollah is hiding in them without hurting you.

Hezbollah: Stay in your houses and ~~protect our rockets with your bodies~~ stand up to the zionist enemy!

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Only one of those 2 groups has a proven track record and an international reputation of deliberately massacring civilians and it isn't Hezbollah. Saying Israel only wants to blow up munitions depots and not kill civilians is outright dishonest.

Are you intentionally lying or just completely ignorant about Hezbollah?
They helped Assad slaughter civilians in Syria.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_involvement_in_the_Syrian_civil_war

They bombed a synagogue in Argentina

Execution of critics in Lebanon like Lokman Slim

And recently shooting rockets towards towns and cities, like the Majdal Shams attack

Is listing a few incidents on one side meant to discredit my claim where the other side is evil? Would you like to go over the number of war crimes Israel has committed? Do you have a couple of days? Because that would be the time needed to go over just the ones from the past year.

Reminding you this is what you wrote. That's what my reply was aimed at. I didn't write anything about Israel.
What I linked to is only some examples, not everything. And the 1st link contains quite a lot of events.

Lebanese, Syrians and Kurds have been suffering from Hezbollah for many years.

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Reminding you that you're free to go over my comment again and realize that all I was talking about is their level of reputation and not absolving one side of anything. You had to go back decades to give me a handful of examples for Hezbollah. I can probably double that number for Israel from just the past week. That's what I was addressing.

[+] Threeme2189@lemmy.world -14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are you delusional? The IDF literally sent text messages, made phone calls and even blasted a message on Lebanon radio urging civilians who were near Hezbollah weapons to get the fuck away. Why do that if they want to kill civilians?

[–] Sundial@lemm.ee 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Did they notify the people with beepers as well? Oh wait....No they blew them all up causing a lot of potential civilian casualties and created a new entry on the very exhaustive list of war crimes the country commits. Israel has routinely escalated the conflict and left the Lebanese people with no choice but to retaliate. Just because they said "Hey, we're going to attack indiscriminately against Hezbollah so move away from any Hezbollah locations even if they are top secret and you don't know they exist." does not excuse them of the atrocities they commit. You don't sympathize with a schoolyard bully when one of the other students finally decides to fight back.

Grandma who can't move on her own and doesn't hear very well: What?

[–] Mrkawfee@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago

They're just going to repeat the same atrocities as in Gaza with the same gaslighting knowing the US and corporate media will faithfully support and cover for them no matter what.
