actually it’s a tactical flanking maneuver - unless hamas manages to anchor their forces to terrain that’s impassible they’re basically fucked - but since everything in Gaza is susceptible to saturation bombing, they’re entirely fucked.

unconditional surrender is the smart play

I don’t think it is too smart when your enemy wants to cleanse your ethnicity from the face of the planet.

No matter the human suffering and trauma. If what happens in Gaza, happens to any western country the outcry would be enormous but right now they only turn a blind eye.

How many more civilian deads and suffering the Palestinian population needs to endure for Israel to stop the atrocities.

Killing 1400 doesn’t give them the right to kill 10 times more civilians. How many condemnations from human rights watch groups are going to convince Israel and their supporters that what they are doing is absolutely morally corrupt and they aren’t any better if not worse than Hamas.

I am personally appalled by the atrocities of Israel! This isn’t justified, this is absolutely disproportionate and horrific and if you don’t think the same I wonder what a “great” human being you might be.

If any other country but Israel had thousands of rockets fired at it, there would be a massive outcry. Instead we have people cheering.

Can confirm, several rockets everyday. Checkout insta/snaps of people in the south. they are used to it now, drinking coffee and watching oncoming missile from Gaza. This is a very asymmetric war and people cheer a side because the other side has protections in place. Very weird times

The only difference now is that you are cheering when civilians are killed now in Gaza?

There was a massive outcry from the world. It sounds like this: “Its horrible that rockets are getting fired at you! Here is a multi-billion dollar rocket defense system! But if you want the rockets to stop, end your brutal apartheid regime!”

Sadly, the Zionist response is to install the rocket defense system and increase the brutality. Then they smear any critics, including most of the UN and nearly every human rights organization, as biased and antisemitic.

I am well aware of the history, fret not! But isn’t it human responsibility to try to avoid the mistakes we did in the past.

Or your point being that this has happened in the past, so it is perfectly fine to happen again?

Any other nation would have launched a special operation in their homeland to rescue the hostages. They would also ask help from the un to assist. So this is not equivalent in any sense.

World News

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.

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.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

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.
