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.
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.

A shame for the GOP. I'm sure they regret the loss of potential child trafficking victims.
If they could have somehow gotten them to ICE, what a waste.
many countries have schools close to or nearby or in military bases.
America for example: https://dodea.widen.net/s/hnzlgvtmvq/dodea-by-the-numbers
we knew this. all the technology that we have and we bombed them.
its a warcrime.
I feel the word "war crime" has lost any meaning after the last few years
This particular article does not say that. It says it hasn't been able to rule it out. Which honestly doesn't make a lot of sense, you would think we know who flew where and dropped what at a specific time and place.
Huh. That's usually Israels MO. Maybe the US got inspired by their whole terrorist state death cult thing they have going on.
Israel says where to bomb and USA immediately fires. That's how they seem to operate.
Based on my armchair understanding of the satellite photos, the building looked like part of the adjacent military complex, and US military “intelligence” did a little oopsie.
I'd be willing to believe AI picked the target and no one is bothering to double check the targets it picks.
But I'm also willing to believe this was an intentional act of terrorism meant to demoralize the Iranian people.
Could go either way.
If that was the case and this school is the only 'hallucination', they must have extremely good AI
More likely GI Schmoe put a dot on the wrong building
No, they double tapped the school. Killed the children, then waited for first responders to show up to kill them too. It's either something cooked up by an AI or by a psychopath, there's not a lot of room for this to be an honest mistake.
Also, there's this story.
If they misidentified the building... Why wouldn't they double tap it?
The first responders being civilian instead of military is a pretty strong clue. Also a bunch of parents and neighbors showed up, which wouldn't make any sense if it was a military target.
Wait, do you think they are watching a live feed of every single building during such a thing?
... do you think they aren't watching the targets they bomb?
I'm pretty sure they don't, actually
Such a strike where they're hitting hundreds of sites in a couple of hours with a multitude of planes in the air simultaneously is planned way in advance and carried out with very careful timing. Even bombs are pre-programmed for certain coördinates. There's just no leeway for stuff like Tom Cruise grabbing the mic and radio'ing "oh no Roystar-5-9 I just saw a baby crawling inside that building, cancel your orders right now!"
The double tap contradicts this. They waited for a response before hitting again, which implies eyes on the site.
Or it was on a timer
Is every strike a double tap? Or was this one picked deliberately for some reason?
I wouldn’t put it past the US military to double tap everything just to be thorough. I have no evidence either way though
Are you saying that they didn't double tap the military buildings and only the school?
Did they double tap every building?
Well if you're saying it's proof if they deliberately doubtle tapped the school, don't you think that's a legitimate question?
A wall had been built between the military complex and the area that had the school and clinic. It's too bad the military didn't do any kind of investigation into their target BEFORE they bombed it.
Unless Israel gave them bad intel
It could be a US mistake, or an Israeli intentional, or honestly I wouldn't put it past Iran doing it themselves because it certainly is helping them with US Allies refusing to aid the US with the Israeli Invasion.
Seems logical that it could have been intentional. The US/Trump wants an all out war in order to cancel elections and seize more power.
He does a little oopsie and kills a bunch of innocent children; they get pissed off, attack the US directly, and then he has a war that both populations want. Kind of like 9/11, but we are the terrorists this time.
I think if there are boots on the ground, then all bets are off and that scenario might play out -- but who knows?
I’m fairly certain that war can’t stop elections in the US, from a constitutional standpoint.
I agree. But also he said this a while back:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvUBtdHw3g4
He will try anything to either stop or rig the elections. The Democrats taking the house would be an effective end to his presidency/ reign of terror -- as long as they aren't all aipac shills.
Regardless of who did it, it is a disgusting war crime.
Yeah no shit sherlock
Can these US citizens be put on trial for murder or war crimes by chance?
US has longstanding tradition of protecting themselves, and of course bibi, from such options. This evil, and head of state assassination, was entirely intentional in order to ensure Iranians were more united to fight longer, and no option for ceasefire would exist. The ever more desperate shifts from reality in Trump demands seems like worrisome dementia or Israel handling inconsiderate of US sustainability.
In the US - Yes, but only if the actions are deemed to not be official actions sanctioned by leadership.
In the Hague - Yes
America is so good at making school children fear for their lives that were exporting that to other countries.
Would be hilarious if Israel bombed something and went "what do you mean it's an American bomb. Wasn't us"
Also fuck zionists
I mean, it was their money
The expansion of the GOP war on women. 😓
Not just satisfied with raping little girls, got to blow them up to.
