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, 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.

It's attempted genocide, pure and simple. Netanyahu is a war criminal that deserves to hang. He's proving that Israel was a mistake.

attempted

Looking back at the almost-a-century of Israel's policy on this I'd say we're way past calling it "attempted".

There's plenty of proof that Netanyahoo - and not only him - want the esacalation, so they can justify their atrocoties:

"They're fighting back? Good, start phase 2."

Pretty much everything Israel has ever done has been proving Israel was a "mistake" (a settler colony doing settler colonialism isn't a mistake, but the lack of one).

Seems like an election is happening. Need a bloody distraction.

God fucking dammit. What’s it going to take to stop these madmen?

It's going to be like with the Native American genocide: 100 years later everybody will be on their side and say it was a big mistake what happened back then, if only we could turn back the clock...

[–] GuyDudeman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

True. 100% true.

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 1 day ago

I mean, nobody with the power to do so is trying to stop them; why would they stop?

If whatever they've been doing isn't considered "mass-scale".. this is just the same thing with masks off.

So far the West Bank has been loosely organized militias (with support from IDF, presumably, but in a more backseat role).

If they begin striking the West Bank the same way they pummel Gaza, then things are going to escalate quite a bit.

It will not be the same thing that's currently happening in the West Bank. It will be far far worse.
