    TBF we’re not sure if it was Israel, USA, or Iran that blew up the school.

    With US Allies refusing logistics support and UNESCO calling for investigation for war crimes, if it was Iran then it was strategically sound and they’re not well known for cherishing life of the citizens.

    It also fits Israel’s MO, though.

    It also fits the Department of War’s incompetence, though.

        I can understand the urge to assume everything Trump says is a lie, statistically you would be correct, but thats not a sound evidence based argument.

        As much as Trump is scum of the earth who deserves to die, so was Ayatollah.

          You want more sources showing us being the bad guy?

          As much as Trump is scum of the earth who deserves to die, so was Ayatollah.

          So you are for the war with Iran?

            Reuters article

            The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters, did not rule ​out the possibility that new evidence could emerge that absolves the U.S. of responsibility and points to another responsible party in the incident.

            TheIndependent:

            Citing two U.S. officials, Reuters reported

              When everything we can see and read, and our fucking president says yes we will hit schools everything is fair game its showing we bombed it.

              Do you not even read these? Its pretty hard to have a conversation if I’m putting in 10x the effort as you.

              Based on you ignoring 3 different analysis hard to belive.

              Especially after saying you were fine with the school getting bombed and okay war with Iran.

              So 🤷

                Determining precisely what happened has been impeded by the lack of visible weapons fragments and the inability of outside reporters to reach the scene.

                Look, when evidence comes out of USA responsibility, I will be the first to condemn them, to call for murder trials and sending them to the hague.

                But we don’t have evidence and the constant confident assertion that the USA is responsible really peeves me.

                  We do have evidence and no you will not ever accept that it is “good” enough evidance.

              You really need to put more effort in, the world watches what the us is doing (war crimes) and the very idea that you want to build a higher ramp for proof is just silly. A school was bombed, by the us of a in a one two follow up fashion. The us does not deny this they just don’t want to say 100% it was for sure them on purpose, so rational minds the world over have figured out that the school in a nation the us is and was bombing was bombed by the us.

                I’m honestly surprised they read any of them. Normally they just cycle back do different reason or arguments rather than admit being wrong.

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.
