World News
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.

This is maga level conspiracy. We need some source standards on this community.
We knew a few weeks after the attack that over a dozen intelligence agencies told them it would happen, and they chose to lower their defenses instead of prepare.
If you're referring to the Egyptian intel warning and the internal warning that hamas was training. There was a meeting to address those concerns booked for literally that day.
You also need to understand the context because in the west we think "oh a security threat we must address it immediately no matter how small". but isreal has so many threats and its a balancing act to allocate resources. From their report they were prioritizing responding to the Hezbollah forces on their northern border and they were fresh off a war with hamas where they thought they had destroyed a lot of hamas's capabilities. The idf admit they underestimated hamas's goals and didnt think they were interested in starting a war because of how obviously stupid it would be.
The IDF definitely fucked up thats not debated but there is no real credible case for it being intentionally orchestrated by isreal. The evidence is a bunch of explainable events that stringed together can look like a grand plan to those that want it to be true. If you want to hate isreal there is plenty of well supported cases to hate them for.
No I'm talking about the dozens of warnings in the year leading up to the attack

You trying to play revisionist doesn't work when we can still find the news articles.
Your article doesnt support the claim that isreal intentionally let it happen. It supports my claim that it was an explainable military failure. You are the one revising history to fit this conspiracy.
It seems like a big deal and conspiracy's worthy if you dont understand the context at the time. There are constantly attacks being planned against isreal by their many enemies. Isreal uncovering this specific plan and reviewing it before deeming it to be unfeasible is a miscalculation but its not a surprising miscalculation. Its already been said that the IDF did not think that hamas would escalate to trigger a war and that was a miscalculation. But honestly its an understandable miscalculation when we see what's happened since. Why the fuck would hamas do Oct 7 its so unbelievably stupid.
Also these "warnings" happened years to months before the actual attack. Is Isreal just suppose to forever prepare for the attack that they believe is unlikely even when there is a more credible threat on their northern border. Its not like they had no staff. It was a tough situation because hamas could always wait, there was no timer on when the attack needed to be launched.
All of this doesnt excuse isreals action in response and I think even hamas didnt expect them to go this far in retaliation.
Yeah you're gonna keep telling yourself what you want to hear.
Im done with you
The Israeli soldier testifying on video?
Why are all "credible" news outlets refusing to report on this?
They've already done an entire report on the failures. A solider saying he got a call to cancel a patrol is not enough evidence for the claim.
What do you think the IDF solider is testifying to by the way?
Sensationalism, easy peasy finger pointing b/c this, that or whatever. Not picking sides. Just being pickier about journalism & all the sources. It is way more complex than the common dimwit (that common dimwit is me btw) can truly comprehend. The level of when, who & why. Yeah, that’s messed up. But what is truly messed up is our senses are being offended & it is just too much for some to think about. I guess this is why garbage journalism goes right along according to the wretched script.
