Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
I don’t think this is accurate. If it was just to annex Gaza, they wouldn’t have to commit genocide.
It's not annexation, it's Lebensraum. You can't Leben on the Raum other people are already Leben in, hence the genocide.
Edit: I apologize to any Germans present.
Those aren't people living there, only Untermenschen!
(I mean, if they are gonna call Palestinians dogs and less than human, they should atleast have the balls to use the words their grandparents heard so often)
PS: only nouns get capitalised, so it's leben ins Raum, genennt Lebensraum (hope my coffee kicked in on time and I didn't trigger Muphry's Law)
I’m weirdly anxious about also triggering Muphry’s Law, but I’m pretty sure you mean genannt, unless maybe that’s Yiddish and not German.
Nope, Muphry strikes again! genannt it should be!
Leaving as it is though, because it's too funny not to.
exactly! just like how most of the united states is native american!
Maybe I was being too pedantic. The point was, they are committing an unnecessary genocide.
To annex a land you can do things like displace the people, enslave a people, commit genocide, etc. Genocide is not strictly necessary. They could have tried displacing them into other countries before bombing the shit out of basically the entire strip.
I’m not saying mass murder has never been used in annexation but calling it annexing undersells the fact that they are committing a genocide
israel has been displacing people since inception. genocide isnt their motivation or purpose so much as it is their method as you noted. there are many options and many things can be true at once.
the genocide is ancillary to the annexation.
and i wholly agree, they should pay for committing the act of genocide.
the whole thing reminds me of that south park episode where its ok to kill things if you scream 'theyre comin right for us!' first.
[Native Americans have entered the chat]
They do it because the indigenous Palestinians refuse to let Israel expel them from their land. Israel's goal is not killing Arabs, but they are okay with it if it lets them expand their ethnostate.
