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.

I don't think it is since Israel is far from the only country at war right now.
Unless you think every war is a genocide, which I guess is arguable.
No, but I think it's the main one with civilians on the front line. I'm assuming "women" is a proxy for civilians, and the article isn't talking about women in fighting forces.
Sorry... you don't think the wars in Ukraine and Syria aren't killing a bunch of women and children?
These are all the current armed conflicts. Do you honestly think that Israel is the one that makes up all of those civilian deaths?

I mean obviously Israel is conducting a genocide. There's no argument there. There are also other groups conducting genocides right now, including Russia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides
Edit: If you look at that list, you'll see that the ongoing genocide in Darfur that everyone ignores has killed far more people than Israel has so far.
Sorry... you don't think the wars in Ukraine and Syria aren't killing a bunch of women and children?
Not what I said. However I expect the ratio in Gaza is higher as people can't be evacuated, hence "civilians on the front line".
You're right that all those other conflicts need as much exposure. I'm not going to argue there.
Okay, I'm not sure what you mean by 'civilians on the front line.' Where do you think the majority of all the other civilians in the other wars are killed? It's not away from the fighting.
You say those conflicts need more exposure and yet, for some reason, you're pretending they don't also have massive civilian casualties.
Also, this is not just about death or even wounding. As the headline says, this is about how it affects them. That includes things like sexual assault, something that is happening constantly in Darfur and to huge numbers of both women and children. If you had bothered to read the article, you would have read this part:
U.N.-verified cases of conflict-related sexual violence were 50%
The report says the proportion of women killed in armed conflicts doubled in 2023 compared with a year earlier
This is why the blatant ignorance or even obstruction of international law is so dangerous. We are currently descending rapidly on the basis of failing to uphold warring parties accountable to not target Civilians, in particular women and children.
At this rate we will be back to crusaders "after taking the city rape and murder everyone and pillage all you can"
At this rate we will be back to crusaders “after taking the city rape and murder everyone and pillage all you can”
This has been the past 100 years in palestine.
Fuck those boys and men, amirite? 🤭
