World News@quokk.au•Everyone needs to worry about 62 million men — particularly men
14·21 days agoIf this is the first you’re hearing of this I can understand your reaction, but this issue has been discussed for about two weeks and there’s better reporting out there. You don’t have to defend clickbait.

311·21 days agoJournalists are supposed to give a shit. Reporting needs to be accurate for people to be well informed, not sensational exploitation of an actual issue to personally profit from clicks.

Inventing Reality@lemmy.ml•Israel lies about replacing cross of Jesus in Lebanon
7·1 month agoWhile I would rather see every statue of Jesus worldwide destroyed than a single civilian killed by zionists, this incident can and should be leveraged for propaganda against Israel. Western Christians are profoundly ignorant of the Levant and on average quite islamophobic, but showing them the existence and plight of Levantine Christians and the depravity of the enemy has been effective at shifting public sentiment. While effective action has yet to be taken because of the deeply entrenched relationship between western governments and Israel, and the deaths of actual people should always be the focus, sharing events like these is worthwhile.

While it is possible DU API munitions have been used in Iran (https://www.cndsalisbury.org.uk/news_items/9279-are-us-warplanes-firing-depleted-uranium-at-iranian-targets) it is certain in my mind that the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iranian oil facilities and resulting toxic black rain and oil spills (https://apnews.com/article/iran-war-black-rain-pollution-d5f67db4a772775c83dfa3fd303cf25d) will cause far more dire public health damage than any DU usage.
