Rules:

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.

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.

An Israeli airstrike on the Osama bin Zaid School in the Al-Saftawi neighbourhood in north Gaza City killed at least 20 and wounded 30 in the second massacre against civilians in less than five hours on Friday.

(OP Note: I'm just advising y'all now. Don't watch any videos connected to this event. They're...really traumatizing.)

This is a genocide campaign. Why attack a refugee camp? I get that Hamas hides in civilians, but that does not give you the green light to just kill everyone. This is evil behavior, and I ask anyone reading this to call your representatives and demand they cut all funding to Israel.

Even if Hamas is using them as a shield, experts explain that the civilians still have to be protected. So Israel is committing war crimes here.

That argument never made sense to me anyway. If anything, using civilians is not a reason to carpet bomb safe routes and hospitals. If anything, you'd need surgical precision.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They have the technology for surgical precision, so when they don't use it (except when killing journalists)... I don't know, it's obvious they want to kill as many Palestinians as they can.

You aren't kidding. I wish I had seen your comment before clicking through.

Assuming it’s the Xitter link, luckily for me, Xitter won’t allow me to log in (even directly after I change my password) or let me view much of anything, so no trauma for me today. Thanks Elon!

Yeah, it's that link. And a lot of such videos have autoplay, which puts you right into bodies and body parts and a lot of blood.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

@Silverseren @Sparlock @ericisshort yeah.

People should f**king CW shit!

Not for me but maybe people may be somewhere not alone and some may not want to see or show it ot others...

I love how Twitter is now the new best gore

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Too late, just saw it and I don't think I would ever be able to sleep. This is genocide, plain and simple.

You should probably put this warning in the body text of the post and/or a [NSFL] in the title

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Done. Thanks for the suggestion.

I read the article but it doesn't contain a video, so unless you go searching for it. Don't.

the website or the embedded content? I can get to the first but not the second.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately watched it again and it all still works.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 year ago
