Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

There are only three kinds of people according to the IDF:

  1. Hamas fighters

  2. Hamas sympathizers

  3. Human shields

And they are all targets. Every child, every doctor, every reporter, every UN worker, every premature baby, it doesn't matter.

The craziest part to me is that using human shields is intended to deter the adversary from rash actions, but we are at the point where the IDF is calling the bluff and just firing indiscriminately at anyone opposite them in the streets.

Using human shields is fucked, calling the bluff and killing human shields is just as fucked…

Israel has been shooting through supposed "human shields" for a long time. It makes no sense for Hamas to even bother.

And people still defend Israel in this. Nuts.

Okay, so they're not stopping with Gaza; they're just going to have their genocide and world leaders are going to stand back and clap while they do it. Do I have that about right?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

And browbeat you for not smiling and clapping with them

Remember all the hand wringing over that hospital that Biden swore up and down isn'treal didn't bomb? Now they don't even give a shit about hiding it because the public's moved on.

The only stories I can think of that are comparable to this came out of Auschwitz.

and yet people will still say hamas went too far

Insanity. Its one thing to kill people from a distance using drones or jets (detachment etc) but another to shoot civilians at point blank.
