I don't think one side constantly killing civilians can be called a war.

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.

Have you ever heard of the war on drugs? And they weren't even killing the thing they declared war on!
they arent considering it, they are doing it. And they will be done by September. And all the countries vowing to take action.. in september.. know it.
a move that would draw fierce opposition internationally and within Israel
The most powerful countries in the world are all either total simps for the fascist apartheid regime or publicly pretending that it doesn't exist while supplying it with weapons and ammunition.
What does China think about Gaza by the way? Honest question.
In two words: it's complicated.
In many more words, courtesy of Wikipedia:
China has been Israel's third largest trading partner globally and its largest trading partner in East Asia. Bilateral trade volume increased from $50 million in 1992 to over $10 billion in 2013 Israel has traded significantly with China in technology and arms. Some commentators note similarities between the culture and values of the two nations. Following the October 7 attacks, commentators generally note a worsening in relations between the two countries. In the United Nations, China has long voted in support of the State of Palestine and against Israel.
Does China care about anyone else other than themselves?
Devil's advocate here: should they?
Shouldn't the sole goal of the Chinese government be to ensure the prosperity of China and the Chinese people?
I don’t disagree, everyone will take care of their own, but if China wants to be a true world power, it can’t just focus inward and ignore everyone else.
I guess it's not focusing inward, it is just making moves solely guided by the interests of China and not by any ideology or morality.
What is Netanyahu's problem with the Palestinian Authority? The article says he doesn't think they are committed to peace. I'm guessing the answer is just hatred but I'll give peace a chance... unlike Netanyahu.
He has to justify building the settlements so he still accuse israeli collaborators of being an enemy
Not hatred, the Palestinian Authority is essentially an Israeli puppet "state". The Palestinian Authority can't be trusted indeed, but for exactly the opposite of the reason you'd expect. They haven't done anything significant to further the Palestinian cause in decades.
If no one is in charge then he's in charge.
I feel so helpless and horrified. And amidst all of this life still goes on. It sometimes feels surreal to me.
