    Not an unusual event, although typically, it’s bulldozers:

      The fact that you can start your sentence with “Not an unusual event” is astonishing all by itself.

    Apparently an IDF soldier was bragging about this

    War on Gaza: Israeli soldier ‘boasted about running over dead Palestinian man with tank’

      The fact that people are literally downvoting you for just pointing out real life events. It’s insane how far the zionist hasbara has gone.

      This is more of a snapshot from what the US government would have done while settling land during manifest destiny if they had tanks.

        Yeah it’s definitely more a hypothetical that can be imagined than it is a concrete reality that happened. Makes sense.

          The settler-colonial hypothetical is more comparable to this atrocity than the Tiananmen Square massacre. Did you associate this with Tiananmen Square simply because of tanks?

            Are you implying running over people with tanks is so common that we shouldn’t have associated the two?

            What a weird thing to imply.

              Between all the different conflicts since tanks were invented during WW1, it’s a more common occurrence than either of us know.

          Lebensraum was directly taken from the manifest destiny, and is clearly the idea behind the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank

      The one where… Tank man blocked a convoy of tanks by standing there?

      The one where he was pulled away by his friends afterwards?

      It’s sort of challenging to hide a crushed body, and yet no journalists who were there the night of or the morning after reported anything. No photographic evidence is available.

        You know they pulled those soldiers out and replaced them with soldiers from other regions who would, and did, right? Tiananmen Square is famous because of the massacre they committed after Tank Man.

        This is a photo of a human body crushed by tanks during the Tianamen Square massacre.

        From here, with many more photos from the massacre.

        “No photographic evidence is available” you say?

    This guy runs Euro Med Monitor:

    Abdu was the assistant director and Palestine Office Manager for Council for European Palestinian Relations,[19][20] an organisation described by The Independent as “a Belgian non-profit organisation that lobbies on behalf of the Hamas-led Gaza Government.”[21] He was on the board of trustees of the International platform of NGOs working for Palestine.

    Congratulations, you’re spreading Hamas propaganda. There’s a reason this story isn’t being run anywhere credible.

      It must be so easy for someone who can see evidence of war crimes being committed right in front of them and just write it off because some person involved in reporting about it was once described by a British paper as supporting the government of the country he was born in. I’m sick of people just looking the other way at atrocities being committed here with the shield of “but Hamas”

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
