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.

There’s no evidence this was Israel. Iran has plenty of enemies in the Middle East.
Correct, there's no evidence. However it's not like anyone would be surprised to find out the Israelis were responsible, they've committed similar acts previously.

That's not a similar act at all. Assassinating one of the leaders of Iran's nuclear weapons program isn't like blowing up a bunch of random people at a march.
Well they're both acts of war committed on Iranian soil.
One is an act of terrorism, one is a strike on a military target. That’s like comparing apples and war crimes.
You really can’t tell the difference?
They did it in Bangkok too.
Do you have a link? I guess I missed this.
I got it the wrong way round: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-17026007
I’d like to point out that ISIL took responsibility.
Could be every secret agency on the world. Could be local resistance. Could be a lone wolf.
Why are you all so confident it was Israel?
Antisemitism anyone? On lemmy? No way!
I'm going to go a step further and say that the vast majority of Israelis would not agree to attacking civilians in general, and certainly not like this. This is a pretty clear attempt to "poke the bear" which is never a good idea. Even the most hawkish Israelis wouldn't want to preemptively open another front in an already complex war.
Lol if that were the case, Netanyahu would have been gone a decade ago.
The vast majority of Israelis support the expansion of Israel which kills civiliansalso the vast majority of Israel doesn't run Israel so it doesn't matter.
Attackng civilians is the entire reason israel exists
