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.

That's not making the point you intended.
My bad. Imagine civilians killed in the original slave raid weren't Jewish.
They weren't, the first civilian bombing in the conflict is objectively the bombing of a hotel that housed the Palestinian embassy of sorts, killed like 91.
Pointing fingers in this conflict is a bit idiotic, the protagonists are all ultra religious shitheads fucking over huge populations because of story time interpretations.
Details on the hotel bombing?

That was in 1946. How many peace treaties and ceasefires have there been between them and the current conflict?
The start of a trend does tend to be earlier than everything that follows.... I'm not sure how or why you think that's a valid point.
Because if any conflict between people, even ones that have been resolved, can be used to justify current violence; there's no concievable violence that can ever be unjustified.
Take your own advice boss.
I am. If the IDF had conducted a slave raid into Gaza I'd be calling on the US to partner with the world to enact regime change and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Bro, gaza is a open air concentration camp where people are routinely scooped up, held without charges and released randomly and indeed some of those people claim to have been at work camps.

In 1971. Do you have an example from this century? Most Gazans are 18 years old or younger.
People can still read and absorb oral tradition. Most of this dispute is based on shit from 3000 years ago saying 100 years is too far for it to matter is objectively idiotic.
Also how routine is it if the last time it happened was 1971?
Oh ii see t's ok to do just don't do it often, gotcha.
That was your characterization of the situation on the ground in the Gaza Strip. That characterization is obviously incorrect. Pointing it out isn't some faux pas.
The issue here is that both sides have historically done evil shit in the region. But since the end of the Cold War, funding for overt traditional war by the Arab side has dried up and as such most of the atrocities done in the name of that war have too. But terrorism on the part of the Palestinians has risen dramatically. And that rise really can't be attributed to Israeli actions.
It's happened literally every day since 1948, Israel didn't even deny it. You've clearly not read much into the matter.
Palestinians are Arabs and I think that's where we stop because you're clearly just trolling and aren't quite aware of what you speak on.
You gave one example of it from 1971. Since 1971 there have been numerous peace agreements, cease fires and summits that were all designed to create a functional 2 state solution in the region and peace between Israel and her neighbors.
Correct, and Palestine is not the one breaching at the moment, Israel is. The settlements broke treaty and continue to let alone the war crime of walling in a population, cutting supplies and bonding them day and night often in areas Israel know are meant to be safe zones.
Stop simping, they're both shit, it's both their faults so stop already.
What treaty? The Palestinians backed out of the Oslo Accords that would have ended these settlements and Gaza was a unilateral action by Israel. Since then Hamas took over the strip and wholesale murdered the PA there. Agreements have been between Israel and the PA and Israel and Hamas.
They were illegal prior to the Oslo accords too.
You're trying real real hard to simp for Israel but you don't seem to have an actual point aside from "Palestine bad Israel good."
may you source that?
Dude, your like 40 comments into a conversation no one cares about using a different username is just as obvious as using your regular username.
i'm not an alt of mwguy if that's what you're getting at. I sort by new comments and enjoyed this chain, but I wanna know more about the oslo accords.
https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/09/13/oslo-accords-1993-anniversary-israel-palestine-peace-process-lessons/
thank yooou, i'll read through this later! want me to respond when i'm done with it or?
Palestine never agreed to the Oslo Accords. And this fight is taking place in Gaza, instigated by the government of Gaza which has had zero settlements since Israel forcibly removed all the settlers in 2004/2005.
I didn't bring up the fucking Oslo accords! You did! At least keep track of your bullshit argument. Also there are settlements there right now, Israel doesnt deny it so stop simping.
What treaty made them illegal?
Sweet christ, the Oslo accords.
Are we really at the point where you need the same answer twice even though the rest are in writing directly above?
Palestine didn't agree to the Oslo Accords. They've never been in force.
Sweet Christ you brought up the Oslo accords.
It's not if the answer to it is to conduct a fresh genocide to remediate the issue. There are peace lines from 1967 that are broad enough where a defacto Arab state and a defacto Jewish state could live side by side. And since the mid 1990s it's been primarily Palestinians rejecting that idea on favor of advocating for genocide.
Clearly it did not work because the conflict is still ongoing and has been since like 12ad.
Yes but when peace doesn't work, the weaker party doesn't tend to prosper.
That's not a point, that's a platitude.
Eh, it's a point. Starting an offensive war with a more prosperous, more militarized neighbor is a dumb move on the part of the attackers.
It's not and stop double replying.
It's an incredibly dumb move. Oh let me attack my bigger, stronger neighbor who provides most of of my utilities. Let me use my aid money to prepare flail uselessly fighting them instead of building up my country so I can actually defeat them.
Of in 2004 Hamas launches zero rockets from Gaza, launches zero terrorist acts from Gaza and instead smuggles all that gear into the West Bank and launches the same attacks from there. The whole world would be calling for an end to Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the establishment of the '67 borders there just like was done I'm Gaza.
Jesus Christ. Dude just stop, seriously. You don't have a point, take a nap or at the very least leave the grown ups alone.
