At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.

Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack

One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.

The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

It’s clearly designed to launch rockets and hide a cache of weapons… /s

Why would Israel stop? They don’t give a shit and no one is doing more than frowning at them in response.

 

Can’t believe THIS is something I find topical and in need of posting over and over:

Unfortunately we the people keep promoting the most narcissistic, sociopathic people to “leadership” positions. This is in all nations and the consequences of this are all over the place throughout all history yet few are talking about it.

Don’t worry the US will “look into it” and express “concern” before repeating how ironclad their support for Israel is.

Joe Biden was overheard rehearsing into his mirror that he was upset with Bibi.

He really needs to get over the habit of giving a wink and a nod at the end of his “expression of concern”.

It blows my mind that there are people on here that are cool with doing an airstrike on a playground full of orphans. Many (most?) of which already had to witness the same happening to their parents.

I’m sorry but there is zero justification for that. None. Your argument is invalid.

Yea, their argument boils down to “well Hamas so they deserve it, it’s their own fault”. Incredibly apathetic and cruel. Tbf people who think like that are also victims of something truly fucked up in their lives, but they are wrong and Israel is wrong to do this. Full stop.

  • Every Palestinian is Hamas.
  • Every hole in the ground is a Hamas Tunnel.
  • Every critic of Israel is pro-Hamas.

Those 3 sentences are the entire foundation of Israeli Propaganda.

There is not a single “argument” maybe by the Israeli Government, the IDF, hasbara astroturfers or genocide-excusing useful idiots that doesn’t relly on at least one of those, especially the first.

Man, fuck international law, it goes against the religious beliefs held by many committing these atrocities. I’m not religious at all, but if your god is happy you bombed a fucking playground of children, then fuck your god.


Side note, I agree with you and this was not directed negatively to the previously reply. “Your” was used generally, not specifically. I hate this world sometimes, is all.

So it’s not a good example? What does it say to other allies when we drop one? Israel was attacked. We should stand by them. Certainly I am not supportive of what is happening in Gaza. I blame Bibi, not Biden.

Israel is only a detriment to the US.

Supporting Israel the main reason for the 9/11 attacks, which cost the US trillions of dollars.

World News

!world@lemmy.world

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

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. 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.
