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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

RIP to everyone. The sad thing is that even these really obvious big crimes that should provide disproportional amounts of media outrage probably will be brushed past like the weather report.

The urge shoot the idiots who parrot "Israel has the right to defend itself" just rose tenfolds.

The whole "you have to condemn Hamas" and "we are defending ourselves" talking point is so outrageous. There were dozens of slave revolts and similar revolts against an occupying force that were completely justified and just as messy as what Hamas is doing. It is one thing to be a pro-Palestinian and not be happy about their tactics, but as victims of genocide, Palestinians have the right of violently defending themselves.

Everytime someone demands a random celebrity condemn Hamas I wish they were 4x stronger

The entire reason this site exists is because /r/ChapoTrapHouse got banned by reddit neoliberals for saying "John brown did nothing wrong"

You will never, ever see someone prefacing their defense of Israel with a condemnation of war crimes.
