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 fake news/misinformation. You are referring to a deleted tweet, correct? Well, that guy was no official.
Here is the tweet:
https://twitter.com/Lowkey0nline/status/1714357150594588816
This guy is not an official, not a minister, not a spokesperson for Israel, he is a wannabe Israel fanatic. In his own words:
'Hananya Naftali is a prominent Israeli speaker and influencer in the fight against Antisemitism, terrorism, and assault on the State of Israel.'
... a cancerous influencer.
Edit: I might have added the 'cancerous' part myself, just for full disclosure.
According to Naftali's website, he has worked for Netanyahu for five years.
https://www.hnaftali.com/
While not a spokesperson exactly, definitely more than just an influencer.
The core point is that he's essentially a moronic propagandist, not an official spokesman making press releases for the IDF.
An Israeli Candace Owens, basically. Yeah, he works for Bibi, but it's not like he has access to IDF intel or is speaking for them.
Owens did not work for Trump though. His job is actually to spin stories in a pro-Israel light. How much access to IDF intelligence he has, we do not know but he is certainly closer to Netanyahu in a work capacity than Owens was to Trump.
Not saying that we should take his Tweet as 100% proof that Israel did the strike but it should also not completely be discounted. It most definitely was not an air strike like Hamas has stated.
He worked for the PM. He is a bit more than a mere influencer. This isn’t the Israeli Jake Paul, but closer to the Israeli Kayleigh McEnany.
But the larger point is, don’t publish an article saying “here is all the evidence” then not publish the evidence the other side is pointing to, not even to disprove it.
Yes, I'm sure a guy who has works on the "digital team" of a politician has the inside knowledge of what air strikes the military has made.
Way more than the average citizen, absolutely.
And the PM is a fascist who should be in jail, so...
What evidence does those tweets provide?
It is a clear claim from a source with high level connections with the Israeli government. If it is so clearly false, why not provide reasons it is false?
He did actually provide reasons, why is everyone so averse to the quickest search?? It was literally the second link on the page:
https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2023/10/18/hananya-naftali-apologises-for-hospital-blast-tweet-claiming-israel-is-responsible/
The article that claims to have all the evidence should do that. And him changing his story isn’t the most convincing. It also says a lot about how despicable he and other Israelis are that they would rush to celebrate the bombing of a hospital as a great victory and immediately want to claim credit.
Hamas is evil. So is the Israeli government.
If only everyone could realise that instead of picking sides.
