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.

Noa Argamani, who was kidnapped from the Supernova Music Festival, said two other hostages were killed in Israeli airstrikes
In a Hostage video.
It'd be less credible if the IDF wasn't shooting half naked hostages asking for help and waving white flags.
Accidents hardly seem less likely.
And, quite frankly, they're probably better off as bombing collateral damage than a Hamas hostage Israel won't trade for anyways.
Hamas hostage Israel won't trade for anyways.
However, the Israelis already did trade for hostages. But not for those that live rent free in some folks minds.
I see, I see.
So Israel just wanted these ones dead then.
That or they ran out of Palestinian women and children to trade.
Wonder why they had them in the first place?

Well Hostage blaming is one way to go I guess.
I think you'll find I'm actually Bibi blaming, because he wanted this all to happen to cement his fascist rule, and he doesn't care how many people die to do it.
He doesn't want all the hostages, he needs excuses, just like how Bush refused the Taliban turning over Osama Bin Laden for a ceasefire.
Bibi will be out the door when the shooting stops.
The Taliban never had bin Laden to hand over.
Instead of "forced to reveal fate in sick video"
It should say what that fate is and, of course, provide an embedded video.
Edit after clicking article: No video, just some guy talking over images.
Downvoted for sensationalism.
For some comparison, here are the headlines from BBC:
"Israel Gaza war: Hamas video claims to show dead hostages"
... and Times of Israel:
"Hamas airs propaganda clip of hostages Noa Argamani, Yossi Sharabi, Itay Svirsky"
The Messenger's headline is trash. It's so sensationalized that I don't even know what it's talking about.
? The article clearly states, well, what the claim is.
The three of them were in a building bombed by the IDF, one died.
Another died in a later airstrike.
True? Seems unlikely given the source of the video and appearance if duress.
Eh. True or not, but Israel strikes without much care and Hamas is known to use hostages as shields. So I wouldn't call it unlikely, just contextually kinda irrelevant. It's a shit show and both sides try to get brownie points / make the other one look more inhumane than the other.
Media bias / fact check for The Messenger:
Overall, we rate The Messenger Right-Center biased based on story selection and editorial perspectives that moderately favor the right. We also rate them as Mostly Factual in reporting rather than High due to the use of poor sources, sensationalized content, and one-sided reporting.
So it's false because Israel bombed the building they were in and killed them, or it's false because Hamas released the video?
Unreliable =/= false. Even heavily biased outlets usually get their facts straight, but editorial choices like whom to quote, how to frame events, and what stories to cover can absolutely give a wrong impression. Especially if the audience isn't paying close attention.
You can take a fact like "two hostages were killed in an Israeli airstrike" and frame it as "look how indiscriminate the IDF bombings are" or "look how cowardly Hamas is". Those are two very different stories, but neither are "false".
Genuine fake news is pretty rare, unless the source is a random link from Xtwitter. Go fact check what you consider a heavily biased source and I think you'll be surprised.
It could just be a shitty source.
Saying 'forced to reveal fate' instead of saying what that fate is, coupled with 'sick video' instead of letting viewers decide for themselves make this appear as sensationalism.
It's also an article about a video that doesn't show the video its reporting on.
Instead, we get some guy talking over images. Lol.
There's a reason this isn't AP Or Reuters.
This is what I don't get here. Why the hell do people interpret this as if it's spreading Israeli propaganda?
We know Hamas killed substantial number of innocent people and are keeping hostages.
We know these hostages are kept somewhere in Gaza.
We know Israel is bombing the shit out of Gaza, actively destroying civilian infrastructure.
What we learn from this is that Israel has indeed killed hostages in their indiscriminate bombing, that Hamas seem to be keeping hostages alive when they are not killed by Israeli bombs, and that being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza is still an awful situation to be in.
If this makes Hamas look bad it's because they are bad.
If you think it makes Israel look good you're sick in the head - this is triggered by them intentionally bombing Gaza until there's nothing left.
If you're upset that it makes a Jewish person look human then fuck right off you worthless piece of shit.
I'm upset because I'm Jewish and now I have to use a disclaimer "but fuck bibi"
