A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Reported as spam. This site is definitely in the tank for Netanyahu, but they are not a spam site and don't report false stories.
"They also favor the right-leaning Netanyahu government “Netanyahu Indictments Are Shifting Few Israeli Voters.” In general the news is reported factually and with a right-leaning editorial bias."
The Algemeiner, a global news destination published online, serves as an independent media voice covering the Middle East, Israel and matters of Jewish interest around the world.
It was founded in 1972 by famed journalist Gershon Jacobson as Der Algemeiner Journal and was originally published in Yiddish. In 2012, Algemeiner.com was launched in English. The Algemeiner’s Publisher is Simon Jacobson, eldest son of our founder Gershon Jacobson.
Sure, that's a more balanced article, it doesn't deny that the Israelis are starving people in Gaza:
It's been widely established that there is severe starvation in Gaza, but the misreporting of a photo of a Palestinian child has caused criticism of the media's reporting of the crisis.
The article you cited implies it's all staged and refers back Israeli government sources (which should never be trusted).
There is no recognition that starvation is happening; specifically due to the Israelis.
Much better since it doesn't try to use one photo out of hundreds to try to downplay a major humanitarian crisis.
However, regardless of Mohammed's illness and the nature of the photo, it is true that people are starving in Gaza, as repeatedly reported by reputable media outlets and humanitarian aid groups.
The boy's mother, Hedaya al-Muta, has spoken to the media to confirm her son's medical history, but also of their lack of access to medicine and food. She added that Mohammed's weight has severely declined.
He was also starved not only sick. Starving sick kids is worse than starving heslthy kids
Yeah. They found one Turkish photographer that used a photo of a sick child instead of a starving child. Kicking him of your cooperation lists is fair. Using this as an excuse to ignore the situation in Gaza is not.
One significant quote from the article that OP left out:
According to the German newspapers, part of the problem is that Israel restricts access to the Gaza Strip for independent journalists, allowing Hamas-controlled propaganda to dominate the coverage.
That's so interesting then that Israel isn't letting in the international press for reasons.
It blows my mind how there still people who try to change the narrative about the genocide. You lost the propaganda war get over it and go back to your echo chambers
The country who is always siding with genocides
