The news came just a day after the Israel Defense Forces accidentally killed three hostages in Gaza.

      I did not find this statement in the article at all. Link to where he said that?

      Also, as a lifelong atheist I´m certainly not a fan of the pope but you have obviously not been following the news very closely:

        Perhaps Biden should take note of his religious leader…

          Biden knows better than to upset his donors. No one but them like him.

        still, two shot in side a church and suddenly it’s terrorism. (also, at this point, every one expects the spanish inquisition.)

          That’s really not the case…

          He condemned the whole thing 3 weeks ago as terrorism. He said it again 2 weeks ago too.

          Problem is, people are so eager to jump on the “religion bad!” bandwagon that they’ll take any bait they can, even when they really don’t know what they’re talking about.

          Sure, there’s plenty to hate on, but this isn’t it…

            I am not religious, but you are right. He has been very vocal on this. People like to choose what is convenient for them

      The Muslim imaginary sky dictator isn’t part of the Christian imaginary sky dictator’s plan to end the world (but like in a good way!) like the Jewish imaginary sky dictator’s followers are.

      If you think about it, the Christian special relationship comradery with Judaism is a super patronizing relationship in that sense. “yeah, we can be friends, just stand… right over… Here. Right here.”

        The Pope has been denouncing the conflict and asking for the killing to end from the beginning.

          But lukewarm, isn’t it? The leap to calling it terrorism is great news.

      It’s traditional, like many things in Christianity. Remember the Crusades?

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.
